What Our Customers Say...

Description

Leather Binding, Signed Binding

Complete in eight volumes. With a portrait frontispiece to volume I. A beautiful example of a Riviere binding. The final volume edited by his Macaulay's sister, with a memoir of Lord Macaulay by Henry Hart Milman. Thomas Babington Macaulay was a British historian and politician whose works on British history have been hailed as masterpieces. Macaulay's History of England was innovative for his period, framing the true history in a picturesque dramatic style of the classical historians, but with the learned and factual approach of his 18th century forebears.

Condition

Uniformly bound in tree calf bindings with gilt detailing and contrasting spine labels. Bound by Riviere. Externally, very smart with just minor shelfwear to extremities. Marbled pastedowns and endpapers. Very slight wear to front joint of volume I and V. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and generally clean, with the odd scattered spot, heavier to first and last as usual.
