CONDITION REPORT The five volumes are in NEAR FINE internal condition for 300-year-old books. Complete. Scarce to find quartos in contemporary binding that are not rebacked for this title. Exterior and binding: Firm binding, tight pages, a few joints with slight cracking emerging, sunning and darkening of spines with dry leather, darkened top edge (per usual), quite light rubbing to edges. Boards with rubbing, scratches and some shallow pitting. The board and edge gilt work is remarkably well-preserved for nearly a 300-year-old binding. In particular, it is very scarce to find the bottom edge gilt rolls from hundreds of years ago mostly intact. Sewn-in black silk ribbon placeholders also in very nice condition. Interior: The text pages are gorgeous, remarkably bright and white like the day they were first made. Certainly, the nicest example I've seen for this title. (Usually the best examples are lightly toned with some light foxing and areas of toning/browning within text.). Some fading to endpapers. Some grubbiness to the blanks. An endpaper or blank of each volume with the armorial 18th century bookplates of Stephen George Kemble and Thomas Bigge (1766-1851), an English political writer and activist. Some light scattered foxing on blanks. Text itself almost completely without foxing and is quite clean overall with remarkably little marginal thumbing and soiling, only an occasional marginal finger smudge or spots of dust soiling. A few leaves with heavier soiling/spots of soiling. Mostly light signs of handling. MINOR ISSUES TO NOTE, ELSE FINE: VOLUME I: First 1/8 of book with both some light water dampening a.
