There is quite a lot of foxing to Vol I, and the pages are slightly cockled. The pages of Vols III and IV are in good order. 21.5x14cms, all vols firm in the original matching bindings of green cloth, ruled and titled in gilt: corners good, spine ends slightly puckered. Spines and boards bright, boards with a few faint marks, except for the upper board of Vol II and the lower board of Vol IV, where patches of discolouration have been professionally toned down. A very good set. [EXTRA Heavy Item].

As it is well known the early Britons possessed many articles of gold, particularly Torques, now of the value of £40, and upwards, Armlets and Fibulas of the same metal, with other reliques; - How did the early natives become possessed of such valuables? Was it by barter with the Phoenicians, with whom the most part of their commerce was carried on with tin, cattle, raw hides, and such other articles as they could produce. Six or seven Torques have been discovered in Norfolk, and the large hoard of the silver coins of the Iceni, amounting to three of four hundred pounds, at Weston, in this county, tends to show that a considerable quantity of the precious metals was known at this early period. How, and by what mode of traffic were these valuables obtained? G. J.' (Quote from page 36 Vol I, The East Anglian No 3.).***An extremely scarce complete set of all four volumes of the original series, bound in their original burgundy marbled and quarter leather boards with gilt decorative ruled and titled spines. Volume 4 is often missing from sets as it was published separately sixteen years after Volume 3 - this was to coincide with the commencement of publishing the second series in 1885, which we also have a set of [all 13 volumes]. ***An extremely detailed, scholarly and interesting complete antiquarian set of local history on Suffolk, Cambridge, Essex and Norfolk - of interest to scholars, academics and collectors of local history, genealogists, and those researching the history of regional dialects. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
