Descripción

Edited by Joseph MacLaren. Undated but a second edition with an appendix. Vol I has 612pp. Vol II has the engravings of all the crests. Bound in threequarter brown morocco with gilt lines. Raised bands to spine with gilt decoration and title label. Both volumes are in fair condition only, with scuffing to covers and staining and evidence of damp. Volume II is particularly damaged with tears and loss to the front pages. Pages are age tanned with occasional slight foxing. Gilt page edges. Marbled endpapers. Previous owner's handsome crested book plate on feps. Despite the damage, the pages are largely in good condition and these volumes are a useful reference. Folio size. Please enquire about postage as this set is extremely heavy. N° de ref. del artículo 5235
