Buy this book on-line Plutarch of Chaeroneia ; North, Sir Thomas (trans) ; Rouse, W H D (Ed) : Plutarch's Lives - Englished by Sir Thomas North in ten volumes (The Temple Plutarch)J M Dent and Co., London, 1908
10 pocket-sized volumes (complete). All ten are fully covered in green leather. They have the Owl of Athena stamped in gilt on the front. The volumes are in varying states of repair. Publication dates also vary. Each has a most attractive woodcut decoration on the title page. Each has a different personality presented on the frontispiece. The set is most genially worn and happily owned all about. There is wear to edges and corners and spines. Nonetheless they are joyfully comfortable and comforting. The contents of each - apart from some very shallow wear to the early binding of each - are most healthy and pleasing. Volume 1: 401 pages, pub: 1908; frontispiece of Romulus Quirinus. Volume 2: 326 pages; pub: 1898; the covers are much worn but even yet benign; frontisp: Pericles. Volume 3: 329 pages; pub: 1898; silk bookmarker attached (worn but secure and shabbily genteel); frontisp: Marcellus. Vol 4: 371 pages; pub: 1899; frontisp: Marius. Volume 5: 353 pages; pub: 1899 frontisp: Sulla. Volume 6: 358 pages; pub: 1899; the protective tissue page at the title page is missing (the others have it); red cloth bookmarker (loose); frontisp: Pompey. Volume 7: 399 pages; pub: 1899; silk bookmark attached (worn); frontisp: Julius Caesar. Volume 8: 357 pages; pub: 1899; silk bookmark attached (worn); frontisp: Demosthenes.
