Full title - THE HISTORY OF THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE. BY EDWARD GIBBON, ESQ. WITH NOTES, BY THE REV H.H. MILMAN, PREBENDARY OF ST. PETER'S, AND RECTOR OF ST. MARGARET'S, WESTMINSTER. A NEW EDITION, TO WHICH IS ADDED, A COMPLETE INDEX OF THE WHOLE WORK. IN SIX VOLUMES. VOL. I. VOL. II. VOL. III. VOL. IV. VOL. V. VOL. VI. Spine titles: "Milman's Gibbon's Rome." Matching half-leather bindings - dark brown leather spines (although with Vol. III a bit lighter than its companions) with five raised bands; gilt lettered lighter brown title labels and gilt lettered black volume labels; marbled paper boards with leather corners. Scuffing to spine bands and at spine ends and along joints; boards rubbed with slender wear at corners. All edges marbled; marbled endpapers. Sparse slight foxing with most leaves still quite clean. Bindings are firm and, while perhaps not being immediately contemporary, are certainly latter half 19th century by their uniform detail of matched marbling to boards, edges, and endpapers (unfortunately no bindery marks present). Still a handsome set. Please note that this set has an approximate shipping weight of 9.25 pounds (4.2 kg) and will require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail. {SET Gibbon-Harper|BindingShelf}. …
