Three volumes (as intended). This fourth edition from the year of publication indicates the phenomenal demand for the novel. Indeed, when the book was published an entire ship left Leith with copies as its sole cargo. The book was published anonymously, again as intended. Although not a first edition this set has the aspect, feel and character of its (ever so slightly) older sibling. Pocket sized, half leather, marbled boards. The boards are worn, scuffed, rubbed. They are sturdy, steady. The leathers corners are buffed, worn, benign, kindly. The contents are mild-mannered, very assured, agreeably healthy. Despite its age (nearly 200 years!), the pages are assured. They have the appropriate printer's (James Ballantyne and Co) marks at the bottom of the pages. The pages are comfortable, companionable, clear, clean, occasionally foxed, thick, utterly readable, very ready, pleasing. fk. Book Condition: Good. Binding: Hardcover.
