Item description from seller

First Edition. Hardcover. Handsome two volume set bound in 3/4 leather, with raised bands, gilt-stamped, all edges gilt. First collected edition of Simpson's important archaeological writings. Sir James Y. Simpson (1811-1870), better known as a pioneering physician who introduced chloroform into medical practice, also pursued wide antiquarian interests. These essays gather his research on topics ranging from ancient sculpturings, early Christian monuments, and prehistoric relics of Scotland, to broader comparative studies in archaeology and ethnology. PLEASE NOTE that all our First Editions are also First Printings, unless we specifically note otherwise. All our dust jackets are protected in clear mylar covers. Owner's signature in both volumes. Very good.
