Edward Gibbon, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Complete in 9 vols.
Published by S.A. & H. Oddy & Co., Oxford Street, and Maxwell & Wilson, Skinner Street. 1808.
Overall this handsome set is in good condition. The books have leather spines and corners. The spines have been professionally redone in full calf with raised bands and gilt tooling and titling. Marbled boards, which are quite heavily scuffed. The leather corners are worn, with loss in some cases. Internally there are some ownership marks. The endpapers appear to have been replaced at some point. The pages have some reading wear and are tanned with age with foxing that is heavy in places. There are some minor losses to the pages in places. The first three books have fold-out maps in the backs. Further images are available. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any queries. Viewing is welcome, but please contact us before travelling as we are only open by appointment.
We can arrange delivery of both smaller items and furniture - please contact us for details and a quote. Customers are also welcome to use their own couriers if preferred.
