This set is copiously illustrated throughout by the renowned English line artist and book illustrator, Charles Edmund Brock. Brock was a prolific illustrator in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, producingworks for such renowned authors as Jonathan Swift, William Thackeray, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and George Eliot. This set contains the following works: 'Annals of the Parish' in two volumes. 'Sir Andrew Wylie of that Ilk' in two volumes. 'The Entail: or the Lairds of Grippy', in two volumes. 'Ringan Gilhaize: or The Covenanters', in two volumes. 'The Last of the Lairds'. 'The Provost'.
