The Harvard Classics; Complete Set of Fifty [50] Volumes

Eliot, Charles W. [Editor]

Published by Easton Press, Norwalk, CT, 1993

7.87" x 5", approximately 500+ pages per volume, all edges brilliantly gilt. All volumes are tight, clean and well preserved. Between the pages of these attractively bound covers is the collected wisdom, word art, and philosophy of mankind. Consuming the entire set should certainly qualify the reader for a Doctor of Letters. "My purpose in selecting The Harvard Classics was to provide the literary materials from which a careful and persistent reader might gain a fair view of the progress of man observing, recording, inventing, and imagining from the earlist historical times to the close of the nineteenth century." - Charles W. Eliot, LL D. As new, still crackles when opened. Previously purchased for beauty, not for use, hence all volumes in flawless condition. Deep red leather with gilt rule, titling on the spine and logos on both covers and inside dentelles. Red silk bookmarks still tucked neatly in. Seller Inventory # 3409
