Thomas Wright (1810-1877) wrote prolifically as an antiquarian and archaeologist.

Very Good copies. Gray leather with red tips and spine, ruled with six bands, filled with gilt. The name of the (presumed) owner who had them bound, is lettered in gilt on the front covers. Clean text; the pagination is continuous, with Volume One having 256 pages, while Volume Two continues to 592. There is no publication date, but per Copac and LoC, Quercus assigns them to 1854.
