10 volumes. Title pages printed in red & black. 6 page publisher list begins Vol III. Frontispiece in Volume I, and Volume V [entitled, "First Three Books of the Dunciad"]. 12mo. Pope a prominent 18th C. poet, perhaps best remembered for his satirical work on Dullness, Dunciad. Warburton an author and clergyman, who eventually rose to the rank of Bishop (for Gloucester). Warburton also Pope's literary executor and reputedly encouraged Pope to write the New Dunciad (1743). Somewhat uncommon in the trade is this 18th C edition of Pope's works, e.g., at the time of cataloguing, we see no other copies of this Potts' set on offer. General wear to bindings, a few joints starting, spine label to Vol IX mostly chipped away, period engraved amorial bookplate of E. L D'Olier (?) to each volume. Overall, Very Good. Period full brown calf bindings with raised spine bands, maroon title labels in the second compartment, gilt stamped volume number in 3rd compartment 1st edition thus, i.e., first 10 volume edition.
