Psychology, Sociology & Anthropology

London: Cassell & Co. Quite an amazing set, decorated brown cloth with bright gilt scenes and people on the front covers, and bright gilt on the unfaded spines. Black titles on the front covers in elaborate, Victorian style. Some edgewear, mostly at the spine ends and corners, but a remarkably clean, fresh nine volumes. Volume one has chapters on Constantinople, New York City, Alexandria, Venice, Amsterdam, Melbourne, Paris, Rotterdam, Boston and Vienna. Inside, all volumes have solid, tight hinges, and the text blocks are clean, with no stains or foxing. I see two sets on the internet with ten volumes; there are dots on this set denoting the volume number, with no volume designation inside. This set has all nine volumes in sequence and no evidence anything is missing. If it it, it would be volume ten. There is also no publication date in any of these volumes. From the others available, singly or sets, and the style of the Victorian bindings, it is between 1880 and 1900. Great, period illustrations, both profuse plates and text illustrations. . Illus. by Profuse Engravings. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. more information
