A MAGNIFICENT SET IN FULL VICTORIAN CALF

The History of England.

London: Cadell et al., 1841-1846. 17 volume set, 8 3/4 inches tall. A magnificent Victorian full calf with gilt raised bands, twin labels and very fine floral gilt tooling to the panels, almost certainly bound by the great firm of J. Leighton of Brewer Street. The first 6 volumes cover the 'History of England' from the 'Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution in 1688' by David Hume. The next four volumes are a continuation by Tobias Smollett 'From the Revolution to the Death of George the Second'. The concluding seven volumes, by T.S. Hughes, cover the period from 'The Accession of George III., 1760, to the Accession of Queen Victoria, 1837'. We have handled very many sets of this title have never seen a smarter set. From the library of Alfred de Rothschild but without his bookplate.
