Item description from seller

This lovely three volume complete matching set is bound in beautiful full calf leather with gilt lining bordering each cover. Hubbed spines are heavily ornamented in gilt, each with five raised bands and a burgundy and black label stamped in gilt lettering. Inner boards are adorned with gilt lining around the edges. All three volumes of this sixth edition were published in 1803. Olive green endpapers. Volume I is 452 pages; Volume II is 427 pages; and Volume III is 372 pages with an index. On a shelf, this set spans 3.5 inches.PROVENANCE: Each volume bears a antiquarian bookplate bearing the name "William Philip Earl of Sefton, Croxteth Library", with associated family crest. This was either the 2nd or the 4th Earl of Sefton, (or both!), as both had the same name: William Philip Molyneux. The first lived from the period of 1772-1838; The second lived from 1835-1897, so per the time of publication, this set could have been owned by either or both of these Earls. The bookplate notes "Croxteth Library". Croxteth Hall was a country estate in the West Derby suburb of Liverpool, England, and ancestral home of the Molyneux family, the Earls of Sefton. After the death of the seventh and last Earl in 1972, the estate passed to Liverpool City Council, and is now open to the public. Croxteth Hall is famous in its own right and hosted Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, and their children in October of 1871. (Wikipedia).CONDITION: This set is quite handsome and lovely on the shelf. Rebacked spines. Moderate external wear and light scratching. Several hinges are lightly starting, yet all boards are firmly affixed and bindings are quite sound. Leaves have lightly toned with mild foxing occasionally throughout. Leaves are surprisingly bright and leaves turn effortlessly. Completely unmarked except for a number penciled in at the back endpapers. A very nice set with a rich heritage. Full refund if not satisfied.…

Description de la boutique

Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
