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 of five volumes - Lady Wale of Shelford near Cambridge. The front free endpaper of volume II is missing so her name is on the half-title page of that volume. There is the bookplate of another family member on the front pastedowns. Browning and some spotting to the endpapers. Volume I has some spotting to the title page. Volumes II, IV and V have some creasing to corners in places. There is light browning to the pages with some spots and marks in places but the pages are otherwise generally unmarked.
