History of German Literature 2 Vol Set Scherer 1886 Clarendon Oxford 1st Ed

A History of German Literature by W. Scherer, published at Oxford by the Clarendon Press in 1886. This is a set of 2 volumes, translated from the third German edition by Mrs. F. C. Conybeare and edited by F. Max Müller. Volume I's title page confirms the same details, with Volume II's title page matching in form and date. The bindings are uniform dark green cloth with gilt lettering and matching ruled decoration on the spines, each marked Vol. I and Vol. II with an Oxford crest in gilt at the foot. The spines show even, consistent colouring between the two volumes with no noticeable difference in fading along the run. Both spine heads show wear, with fraying and loss to the cloth at the top edges of each volume. The covers are rubbed and show scattered marks and light soiling across the boards. Corners are bumped. The overall appearance is consistent across both volumes, giving the set a matching, shelf-worn character.
