Complete in 22 volumes. All volumes present. George Washington complete in five volumes, ends as volume 21, with Salmugundi published at the end as volume 22, which is standard for Washington Irving. All his works are present. This set is complete. These are the original bindings. This set is in remarkable condition despite the age. These are the original Victorian bindings from 1863.
