About This Item
1868 Virtue Ldn h/b 12 vols Imperial 8vo gilted & blind-stamped cloth Maps good, & most of the content is remarkably clean & tight with only minor foxing here and there, an occasional loosening page, some light buckling from prior damp or 'too-tight' storage (without staining etc). But the set is externally very rough -- covers bruised, battered & stained, hinges broken or weak, some edges rubbed through, moth-eatenscarring, some backstrip missing on one or two books etc etc etc etc -- yet despite all faults appears to be a complete & substantially intact copy of a significant & RARE GENEALOGICAL TREASURE TROVE for England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales mid-1800's, just prior to the major colonial emigrations. The set comprises 3 official volumes (distributed over 12 actual volumes) Full SET 12 Gazetteer Britain & Ireland 1868
