Item description from seller

Early American stereotyped edition. 12 volumes in 6 books. Thick 16mo. Original suede/calf heavily worn. Boards are detached, and spines are rubbed and chipped, the lettering no longer visible. Spines of several volumes missing portions of leather. Engraved half titles, with "Published by J. Crissy 1832". Title page: "Crissy and Markley 1851". Early American edition of the popular British essayists: "The publisher of the present edition of the Spectator has been desirous of adapting it to the convenience of all readers. the objection to a small type for a book so generally read, it will be perceived is completely obviated, and the size of the volumes renders it portable as a travelling companion." Light damp stain to some front edges. Foxing to endpapers and first few pages. Text is only lightly foxed. Think of the set as reading material on stage coach travel west, to Wisconsin, where the (J.F.; C.A.; Julia A.) Hamilton family appears to have brought their substantial early Americana library. Ships from Dinkytown in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Due to the size/weight of this collection extra charges to apply for international shipping.…
