2 volumes (of 3). Both are bound in full leather, with raised cords on the spines, elaborate gold decoration in spine panels. Gold titles on spine clearly show that these are volumes 2 and 3 of the set. Minor edgewear and loss to crown of spine. Marbled endpapers. This is the 4th edition of Montaigne's essays (so says the title page). 676 and 464 pages, each also with a lengthy index. Text blocks tight, pages clean. Both volumes have ownership name 'Marianne Colston' on the top of the title page. The most notable person with that name was a well married British woman who wrote and illustrated several travelogues in the mid 1900s -- if these were her books, they were already 100 years old when she owned them. Unfortunately, we do not have volume 1. Text is in English. Montaigne wrote in the sixteenth century, but his essays have remained almost continually in print for the last 450 years (although in 30 years in the book business, we've yet to meet anyone who's read one). Please email with questions or to request photos of the signature or quite nice bindings.…
