New York Harper & Brothers 1880 Hard Cover Very Good 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
Undated, ca. 1880s, published soon after her death. Exceptional fifteen-volume set of this collection of Eliot's works, along with her biography, which was arranged and edited by her husband. The complete nine-volume set of novels includes: Adam Bede; Mill on the Floss; Felix Holt; Scenes of Clerical Life; Silas Marner; Romola; Middlemarch (2 vol.); and Daniel Deronda (2 vol.). The set is supplemented by uniformly bound volumes of her biography, a volume of poems, a volume of essays, and a volume of Impressions of Theophrastus Such, a collection of 18 short essays which comprise her final work. Several of the volumes are illustrated with engravings. Each volume measures approximately eight inches tall and about three quarters of an inch thick, and at least five of the volumes have unopened page edges (never read). Three quarter tan calf over red marbled boards, dual spine labels in light brown, gilt decorated spine with slightly raised spine bands, top edges gilt, marbled endpapers. The gilt is bright, spines not dried out or age-toned, and there are no chips to the spine ends. There is light shelfwear, a bit of rubbing to some of the corners and a very tiny bit of nibbling to the far bottom outer corners of the pages of three volumes, affecting none of the covers and none of the text (the largest affected area is only about an eighth inch in from the corner). Pages are very clean with some light foxing to the verso of the endpapers and the preliminary blanks, a tiny old name stamp in each volume, either on the verso of the front free endpaper or the front preliminary blank. There is a light brown stain at the far lower edge of one volume as well, extending only about eighth inch from the bottom at its largest, running about halfway through the book, and one volume has a few pages creased near the upper edge. A clean and handsome set, hard to find in the complete fifteen volumes.
