18th C. Compendious Dictionary 3 Book Boxed Set.
A Note of Interest: This three book set is encased in its original box which does show some nominal wear for its age of over two centuries. Plus...
* The books are odour-free other than the sweet scent of aged 200 year old hand made paper.
* The external condition of all volumes is very good. Some slight wear on top edges, no fraying.
* The internal condition of all volumes is in astonishingly near pristine and unused condition.
* The books are odour-free other than the sweet scent of aged 200 year old hand made paper.
* All books have all their original edges intact.
These three volumes, each measuring 5 ¼" x 3", are uniformly bound in straight-grained cherry-red moroccan leather with ornate gilt tooled spine labeling. In addition, this lovely condition set is housed in the original moroccan leather covered "Gentlemen's Box" which is decorated in gilt with designs matching those on the spines of each volume. A very expensive and marvellously produced set in its day.
