Description

Offered are 2 Volumes of The Waverley Novels by Sir Walter Scott, 1824 These 2 volumes are in fantastic condition! They must have been in a closed cabinet or something! Considering that the first volume "Waverly" was published in 1814 these books were published only 10 years after that. YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER COPY OF SCOTT'S WORKS! .3/4 cordovan leather over textured boards. Gilt top edge, marbled end papers. Foxing on first several pages, otherwise very minimal discoloration. Boards are tight as are bindings. Each volume measures 9 x 6 x 1 1/2. Combined weight - 4 Lbs. Amazing condition for 200+ years old. Volume II - The Pirate & Adventures of Nigel. Volume III - Adventures of Nigel History: The Waverley Novels are a long series of novels by Sir Walter Scott (1771- 1832). For nearly a century they were among the most popular and widely read novels in Europe. Because Scott did not publicly acknowledge authorship until 1827, the series takes its name from "Waverley" the first novel of the series, released in 1814. The later books bore the words "by the author of Waverley" on their title page.
