Item description from seller

First edition. Three volumes. 8vo. Twentieth century tan quarter sheep over russet cloth boards, gilt ruled compartments to the spines, gilt lettered direct to two panels and dated at the feet, blind tooled device to the others. Very good. Whewell was a prolific writer and something of a scientific polymath, concerning himself with the development and understanding of the wider reaches of the subject rather than specialising in specific branches. Indeed, it was said that Charles Lyell initially regretted that his contemporary didn't concentrate his great intellect on particular sciences, but subsequently came to the opinion that "by being a universalist rather than a specialist he was assisting the progress of science". (ODNB).
