London: Printed for C. Cooke, 1796. Includes an attractive engraved frontispiece and additional title-page in each volume, plus 7 engraved plates (all lightly foxed), most with tissue-guards, pp. 72, 278; 296. A pleasant set of this pocket edition. Coleridge notes that the plates ‘are usually handcoloured’ but not in this instance. The volumes are in their original boards, some wear and rubbing to leather, spine covers shaken and starting to detach but still intact, as shown, title labels still present. Volume II rear board and EP detached. Armorial bookplates in each, as shown.The interior clean, with minor browning, minor staining. RARE pocket edition, a true treasure.
