The Life of Byron (By Thomas Moore in 6 volumes)…

Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1851. 16 volume set, 6 1/2 inches tall. A handsome full calf with raised gilt bands, twin labels and gilt tooling to the panels. Engraved frontispieces and title pages to each volume. With the armorial bookplate of T. I. Coolidge. Foxing to the plates. This appears to be the text and plates from John Murray's 17 volume London edition, published in the United States nearly 20 years later in 16 slightly thicker volumes. A scarce and fine set of these great and highly influential works.
