The set is uniformly half bound in green polished calf over marbled paper boards, with five raised bands, intricately tooled in gilt, on the spines. All edges and endpapers marbled. Very light wear on the covers with the exception of Vol I and XII. On these books there are tiny tears on the front joints near the head. There is a water mark on front cover at the foot of the spine. The front hinges are sprung in all volumes with the exception of Vol. XI. Pages 343-346 in Vol.XI are loose, but there are no missing pages. A small light semi-circular stain, perhaps a tea spill, can be seen at the bottom gutters of preliminary pages in Vol.s I, and IV-VII. Brief notation in pencil by previous seller on verso of the front free endpaper and faint inscription in period script on the top margin of the full title page in Vol.I only. Light foxing/age-toning here and there on the preliminaries, and the text and illustrations are generally clean, smooth and unmarked with no tears or signs of damp. Each volume has a frontis-piece, illustrated title page and a vignette.
