About this Item

Vols 1 - 13, missing vol 4, i.e. twelve vols in all, each securely wrapped in stiff tissue paper which is doiing a good job so I''ve left it in place; as far as I can tell the spines are rubbed and cracked with faded gilt lettering, but boards secure, partly due to solid endpapers. The first seven vols published 1714-15; vols 9 - 13 titled 'Continuation des Essais de Morale' and dated 1723. Text block edges stained red. Internally marbled endpapers, the front pastedowns have a white area 6 cm x 7 cm where plate (?) removed; each free front endpaper bears a bookplate 7 cm x 9 cm. Name and date (1856) on reverse of ffep in vol 1. Apart from a few scholarly pencil annotations in vol 2, and some in ink affecting six pages of vol 8, contents of all vols clean and tight. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 006050
