Robert Purdie, Edinburgh, n.d. (c.1825). Second Edition. Very nicely rebacked complete set.Vol I: (ii)title, viii(preface), 4(index), 108pp: bound with: Vol II: (ii)title, 4(index), 102pp; Vol III: (ii)title, 4(index), 108pp: bound with: Vol IV: (ii)title, 4(index), 104pp; Vol V: (ii)title, ii(advertisement), 4(index), 106pp: bound with: Vol VI: (ii)title, vi(advertisement), 4(index), 104pp.Printed from the plates, with attractive engraved pictorial title pages. The top corners (1" x 2.5") of the first title pages in each volume (ie those of Vols I, III and V) have at some time been cut out, presumably to remove an ownership name, and have been neatly made good with a matching paper. The only loss is of a fragment of decorative flourish. Clearly printed and in good order, with faint offsetting throughout and occasional slight foxing. Quarto (10" x 7"), top edge gilt, in new half-binding of brown Victorian cloth with the original slightly rubbed marbled boards, the spines with brown labels, ruled and lettered in gilt. Lovely set.
