24 volumes. Frontispiece portrait, and many other illustrations and maps in each volume. Tall 8vo, handsomely bound in 3/4 burgundy morocco with ornately gilt-stamped spines; uncut edges and gilt tops. Cambridge: Riverside Press, 1900. Edition de Luxe, no. 992 out of 1000 sets. Joint neatly repaired on one volume, else a fine set. Fiske was considered "one of the most important intellectual influences in the last quarter of the 19th century. the charm of his historical writings and lectures not only instilled an interest in the subject into a vast number of people but was the prime cause of not a few of the distinguished scholars of today first turning to history as their life-work" (DAB). This complete collection includes Fiske's classic historical works on America, as well as his scientific and philosophical writings.
