Description
These are six volumes of a ten volume edition, published by Longmans Green and Co. in 1869, of The Poetical Works of Thomas Moore. The content and volume numbers are: III - Corruption and Intolerance, The Sceptic, Two Penny Post Bag, Satirical and Humorous Poems, Irish Melodies; IV - Irish Melodies, National Airs, Sacred Songs; VI - Lalla Rookh; VII - Lalla Rookh, Political and Satirical Forms, The Fudge Family in Paris, Fables for the Holy Alliance, Rhymes on the Road, Miscellaneous Forms; IX - Satirical and Humorous Poems, The Fudges in England, Miscellaneous; X - The Epicurean, Alciphron, Index. It would appear this group has been re-bound, as all covers (4.375' x 6.5") are full tree calf with gilt borders and lettering, with the gilt titles in red backgrounds. However, no bindery is specified. The spines are flaking and most hinges are weak, but all are holding, with no loose covers. There were additional labels on the spines below the title labels, but these are almost or entirely missing. The cover edges are scuffed, but there are no prominent stains. Each volume has double frontispiece illustrations, all of which are in good condition. There are no stamps or other attachments. I've found no writing. The page edges, marbled all around, are unfaded and clean. The bindings are tight, with no loose or missing pages. I've found no page tears and few creases. The page faces are clean, with all text unfaded and legible. The accompanying photos are of this set.
