The Iliad Of Homer In Six Volumes Homer; Pope, Alexander

Second edition from 1720 in six volumes: I (250pp), II (242pp), III (225pp), IV (267pp), V (249pp) and VI (190pp plus index). Contemporary full leather binding. The title and volume number panels have been lost on all the volumes. The volume numbers are stamped on the spines. The spines have chipping at the tops and bottoms with a little loss from volumes II and V. There is a little cracking to the edges - the binding is firm with the exception of volume II where there is a gap at the bottom and volume II where the front panel is unfortunately detached. The corners are bumped with some rubbing and fraying and there is some light surface wear to the front and rear panels. Name of a previous owner in ink to the front free endpaper - Lady Wale of Shelford near Cambridge. There is the bookplate of another family member on the front pastedowns. Browning and some spotting to the endpapers. Volume I has a little more wear to the spine than the other volumes, a small piece missing from the edge of the front free endpaper and page 218 is loose. Volume III has a little creasing to the top corners at the front of the book. Volume IV has some staining to the tops of the pages. There is light browning to the pages with some spots and marks in places and in particular to the pages at the front of the books but the pages are otherwise generally unmarked. Heavy item due to it being six volumes so there will be an additional postage charge for overseas orders.
