Five very good books in handsome quarter brown calf leather and marbled boards; title in gilt to spines.Internally very good and free of inscriptions; the contents are identical to the holding in the British Library except this set contains Tome 15 which is absent from the British Library probably because of its much later publication date. Tomes 6 & 7 are not found in either set and we cannot find any record of their publication. Text in French. Each tome has a frontispiece engraving apart from Tome 15; bindings tight; occasional scattered foxing to text pages but small and faint and never obtrusive; heavier foxing to the engraving surrounds; marbled end papers; speckled closed page edges; all tomes with one exception were published in the 1820's with the majority published in 1822-1823. Tome 15 is dated 1841. BOOK 1 contains the Essai Litteraire and Tome I Aventures d'Amour de Parthenius et Choix des Narrations de Conon; Tome II and III Amours de Theagenes et Chariclee par Heliodore [in four tomes I & II being in this book]; c + 128 + 252 + 260pp. BOOK 2 contains Tome IV Amours de Theagenes et Chariclee par Heliodore [third tome]; Tome V Amours de Theagenes et Chariclee par Heliodore fourth tome]; Tome VIII Les Pastorales de Longus 260 + 221 + 337 pp. BOOK 3 contains Tome IX Amours de Chereas et Callirrhoe [in two tomes]; Tome X Amours de Chereas et Callirrhoe [second tome]; Tome XI Habrocome et Anthia, Histoire Ephesienne 258 + 226 + 180 pp. BOOK 4 contains Tome XII La Luciade ou L'Ane de Lucius de Patras; Tome XIII Amours de Rhodanthe et Dosicles, 296 + 215 pp. BOOK 5 contains Tome XIV Aventures de Hysmine et Hysminias Tome XV Aventures de Drosilla et Charicles 323 + 368 pp A most handsome set of a very scarce publication.
