New York: Macmillan Comany, 1914. Hard Cover. Good+ binding. Octavo. xxvii, [1], 467, [1], [6 (ads)]; xxiii, [1], 608, [8 (ads)] pp., frontis. First edition. In publisher's maroon cloth. A married set. Spines dulled; light rubbing to the bindings; hinges of Volume II are a bit loose though evidence of some tidy regluing; evidence that the protective leaf facing the frontispiece was removed; contents clean. An exhaustive collection containing more than a 1000 pages of Lee's letters from 1762-1794. A remarkable resource. Scarce.
