Condition:
Book: Good
Jacket: N/A
Pages: Good
Markings: No markings
Condition remarks: Leather across the set shows dried, worn surfaces with the kind of patina you expect from a nineteenth century reference run. Volume 2 has its front board detached and a title page that’s torn with some pieces missing, and Volume 34 also has detached boards, but the rest of the set holds together well for its age and still presents plenty of interesting maps and plates.
This monumental reference set stands as a cornerstone of nineteenth century nonfiction, presenting a comprehensive survey of global knowledge across science, history, philosophy, and the arts. Across its thirty five volumes, it chronicles the intellectual priorities of the Victorian era, organizes scholarship with rigorous editorial standards, and illustrates the period’s ambition to catalog the world with precision and authority.
