    Description

    Leather Binding

    Edited by William Roscoe, who also provides a biography, commentary and "an estimate of his poetical character and writings". The volumes contains all of Pope's major poetical works, as well as his essays, prose, correspondence and satires, offering an extensive collection of both the author's work and the critical reaction it recieved. The first two volume contain frontispiece portraits of the author, and each volume contains the bookplate and signature of Samuel Hoare, a politician and bibliophile. The complete list of works included here is as follows: Volume I: Life of the Author Volume II: Early Poems and Translations Volume III: Miscellaneous Poems Volume IV: The Dunciad Volume V: Essay on Man, and Moral Epistles Volume VI: Satires Volume VII: Prose Writings Volumes VIII, IX and X: Correspondence

    Condition

    In morocco binding with gilt detailing. Externally quite smart, there is wear to the joints and backstrips, with some minor cracking to joints and strain to hinges. Internally, the pages are firmly bound, aside from some detached but present introductory pages to the second volume, and are bright and clean aside from the odd instances of spotting, particularly to the endpages.

    Very Good
