London: Henry Colburn, 1848. Hardcovers. Volume I: iv, 379 pages. Engraved portrait frontispiece. Volume II: [2], iii, [1], 312 pages. Volume III: iv, 284 pages. Bound in full red calf, with twin labels to the spines and elaborately gilt panels. Octavos. First edition. Some light spotting; volume I has evidence of slight damping; volume III has some darkening to the edge of the upper boards, with slight cracking to the spine joint at the head, and wear, with loss of leather, to the outer corner. A very good set nevertheless, and quite scarce in this edition.
