A very good set of hardbacks with dark green leather spine and corners. The leather is sunned to brown on spine. Spines with raised bands, morocco title labels and gilt motifs to panels. With green linen over boards. With mild bumping and wear. All volumes are soundly bound. With gilt top edge to text block.

Three of the volumes have the gilt armorial crest of Eton College to the front and rear cover and feature a different, but complementary emblem to the spines. One of these volumes also carries an Eton prize presentation label to the first pastedown.

Some offsetting to borders of marbled endpapers opposite the leather, and occasional light spotting. Text pages are generally in near fine condition - clean and bright throughout. A very smart set indeed.

Text in English.
