Volume I with three engraved plates including frontispiece; volume II with frontispiece; volume III with thirteen; volume IV with frontispiece; and volume V with frontispiece. Internally, bindings remain tight, and leaves bright and clean bar just the odd spot; plates are a touch spotted, sometimes resulting in offsetting. A truly lovely early 19th century set. 8vo.
