~Original half marbled calf, brown lightly speckled boards. Lge 8vo (23 x 15 cm). Neo-Classical decor to spines - gilt frieze compartments with palm and urn motif, gilt labels and oval vellum gilt inset volume numbers (those of vols. 2 & 3 with partial loss). Green gilt labels at foot of each spine reads 'Paris Didot - 1788). Distinctive decorative endpapers, blue 'comma' motif on white ground. Bookplates 'Ex Libris Franz Pollack-Parnau'. Edges tinted yellow. Volumes retain green silk ribbons. Soft-pencil archival annotation to endpages and half-titles aside, no ownership marks or library stamps.

This is the third collected edition of his works overseen by the author (the 4th and last appearing in 1809). Hinges sound, spine shows minor wear. A sound attractive set.
