The first two volumes also each contain 10 woodcuts, in-text, with additional proofs, bound-in, on India paper. According to the publisher's ad in 1834, a "few copies" each year were done in the larger Royal Octavo (instead of small, or Demi, octavo) with the India paper proofs, and priced at 2/12/6, instead of 1/1/0. Some superficial scuffing, edge and corner wear to covers. Otherwise clean, tight and unmarked -- internally very bright, clean and unfoxed. The third volume contains ads and literary notices, at rear, for Volume I & II in the "Spanish Series". Three ads at rear of fifth volume. A very neat, sound and handsome set. .
