The History of England. by MACAULAY, Lord

London: Longmans, Green, Reader, & Dyer, 1877. 2 volume set, 7 1/2 inches tall. A great history in a classic Victorian full calf with gilt raised bands, twin labels fine floral gilt tooling to the panels. There is a gilt prize block on the upper boards and a 'prize bookplate' on the inner paste down of volume 1. This is a popular edition of this history which covers the period "from the Accession of James the Second" to the Reign of Queen Victoria, and, as such, has very small type. Scratch on the lower board of the first volume but still a lovely looking set.
