Item description from seller

(Viii), 414; (Vi), 367; (Viii), 340, + Long Index To All Volumes At End. Published 1790. Four Volumes, 21.3 X 13.7 Cm. Original Or Very Early Spotted Calf, 6 Spine Compartments With Two Morocco Labels On Each Volume, Gilt Decorations And Borders On Spine, Over Marbled Paper Covered Boards, Spotted Calf Tips, Light Blue Endpapers. Lightly Used, Single 1/8" Deep X 3/16" Long Chip At Top Of Spines Of Vols 2 And 3, Hinges Solid. Bookplates Of Lady Frances Compton; She Is Noted By Jane Austen's Father As A Visitor To Their Household In The Early 1790'S, Which Makes For An Interesting Association As There Is Speculation That Jane Austen Used Shaftesbury As A Source For Her Ideas Of Morality. Although There Is No Evidence That Austen Had Access To This Copy Of Shaftesbury, It Is Possible That She Discussed The Ideas With Lady Compton, Or Even That This Particular Set Was Read By Jane Austen.
