About This Item
Complete in 11 volumes.
Printed in 1884.
1884 is extremely early for Emerson.
Set is dated 1884 on the title pages.
Presumably the first edition of the Riverside Edition by Houghton Mifflin. Copyright 1883, title pages dated 1884. Thus set was reprinted into the early 1900's. It's extremely difficult to find Emerson from 1883.
Set is remarkably well preserved. Internally the paper is fresh bright and clean. Set looks unread. The bindings have extremity abrasions and scuffs. Some gouges and scuffs in the spines and head caps. Leather supple. Hinges all sound. Each book will be individually wrapped and well protected for shipping via Priority Mail.
Set has extremity abrasions as shown in the pictures. Wear at spine heads.
The half titles list each volume number. The miscellanies is volume 11. 11 is standard for early Emerson. Set is complete.
The bindings are original.
Set has 2 old bookplates.
Quality paper.
The bindings are the original Victorian hindings.
The bindings are original.
