Description

Leather Binding, Pleasing Copy, Rebound

The works of Edward Bulwer-Lytton, a stunning collection in thirty-seven novels handsomely leather-bound in half calf over marbled boards. A famous writer and politician, Lord Lytton coined famous phrases such as "the great unwashed," "the pen is mightier than the sword," "dweller on the threshold," and the opening phrase "it was a dark and stormy night." 

Most volumes are illustrated with a frontispiece, except Caxtoniana, The New Timon, The Coming Race, Athens, England and the English, Pamphlets and Sketches, and Schiller and Horace, as called for; and Pausanias, which is bound without.
