Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Five volumes with paneled tree calf boards, each book featuring seven spine bands with gilt devices/titles; plus their volume numbers (appropriately in Arabic numerals). The latter are each set against a small black circle; with a gilt circumference (see image). Internally, there are marbled endpapers. Each book features engravings from pictures by Robert Smirke, R.A. Volume 4 has four such engravings while the others have five each. In the last volume the illustrations have tissue guards. Each book has a tipped in name plate (a coat of arms) on the front pastedown. These books were all published in 1802. Generally their condition can be described along similar lines. Externally, there is some edgewear, including bent book corners with parts of the spine variously rubbed and/or slightly torn in places. There is general tanning throughout with intermittent spotting - especially, for example, on the books' preliminary and final pages (also on the last volume's tissue guards). However, the following variations also apply to the condition of specific books. Volume 1: front and back inner hinge repair with adhesive fabric tape (see image). Ink signature on title page. Upper and lower board corners have obvious bending; as well as some rubbing and fading of the calf. Pagination: pp. lxi, 385. Volume 2: both the head and tail of the spine show some minor damage. In particular, the head of the spine has a closed tear (<30 mm) at the front of the book. Pagination: pp. 432. Volume 3 (pagination): pp. 405. Volume 4: the volume number on the spine no longer has the black background colour; although the gilt circle border remains visible. At the head of the spine there is some similar damage (see comment about volume 2) to the leather i.e. a closed tear (<30 mm) - this time located w.r.t. the lower board's outer hinge. pp. 461. Volume 5: Similar spine issues to those previously mentioned, same size and nature but at both the head and tail. The tear at the tail of the spine is slightly longer i.e. c 40 mm. The tissue guards, which appear to feature in this volume only are obviously tanned and spotted. As with volume 4, the book's number is no longer easily visible; plus the gilt circular border has also faded away (see relevant image) pp. 474. Books? size: 8vo (crown octavo).
