About This Item
Fifth revised edition with the continuations by J. G. Worlmann and K. A. Menzel. Contemporary orange paste paper boards with matching original bindery dust jackets surviving on 10 of 12 volumes. Jackets underlaid with either manuscript scrap or printer's waste. Some jackets glued at flaps, sealing the bindings within them, a common practice. Those not sealed show the bindings to be very fine, protected since new by the binder's handmade jackets. Bindings have blank labels; jackets have handwritten spine labels. This is the only large multi-volume work we have encountered with surviving bindery jackets. The 200-year-old jackets are complete with uniform general rubbing and moderate darkening on spines.
