A fine nine volume set of this edition limited to 100 copies - Printed for Private Circulation Only. (The title pages state "in ten volumes" but in the event only 9 volumes were publised). Fine contemporary uniform bindings by Zaehnsdorf, of restrained but elegant half brown morocco with marbled boards and 5 raised bands to the spines, lettered in gilt; bindings very good with a little gentle wear only, spines very slightly faded. All edges marbled to match boards and end-papers. Contents clean and tight; a little foxing more or less confined to the front and rear blanks, otherwise unmarked. A superb set of this rare and desirable edition limited to just 100copies. Provenance: With the attractive bookplate of Claude Goldsmit-Montefiore to most front paste-downs. (Claude Joseph Goldsmid Montefiore (1858 - 1938) was son of Nathaniel Montefiore, and the great nephew of Sir Moses Montefiore. Some identify him as a significant figure in the contexts of modern Jewish religious thought, Jewish-Christian relations, and Anglo-Jewish socio-politics.) Wikipedia..
