The Complete Works of SAMUEL JOHNSON!! A new edition, with an essay on his life and genius by Arthur Murphy, Esq. Complete in 12-volumes.
Printed in 1809 - 1812!! This set is 200 YEARS OLD!! Bound in quality leather bindings! These are full leather bindings. Full leather bindings were more expensive to produce, and are highly desirable! These are the original bindings from 200 years ago! Gilded spines, with leather labels. Marbled end papers. Engraved frontis plates in most volumes.
New York, William Durell Printed in 1809 - 1812. Complete in 12-volumes, as stated on the title pages of each volume; and, as is standard for this edition volume one is misprinted 15-volumes, as the intention was likely to be 15 volumes but changed to 12-volumes, as corrected on the title page of each subsequent volume. 7 3/8 inches tall. These take up 13 inches of shelf space.
In VERY GOOD condition. Very fresh and well-preserved, all books are tightly bound, leather is supple, spines are all fresh, hinges are all strongly attached, there is some starting in a couple areas which does not affect the integrity. These display beautifully! Printed on quality paper. Very clean, minor trace of foxing predominantly on the first few pages. No writing, but for dealer pencil, and an early bookplate. This is a gorgeous set.
This would make an excellent gift and/or addition to any fine library. Antiquarian books make a great investment, are only going up in value, and are sure to increase the aura of any room or office!
