Harper & Brothers, 1836. Two volumes. [2],lxxx,[9]-533;576pp. includes the folding map. Full leather binding. Boards loosening and leather is a bit dry/dusty. Light scattered foxing but internally quite clean. No Ex-Lib. I did not unfold the map entirely for the picture. It appears to be complete, but is fragile along the fold lines. The map is very often missing from the set, so it is uncommon to see it present in this set.
