Later edition. Two volume set. Handsomely bound by Bayntun of Bath in emerald green half calf with raised bands and charming hunting devices in gilt to spines; top edges gilt; bindings signed. Frontispiece lithograph of a sculpted bust of Cobbett from side-on in vol I. Without old inscriptions etc. A fine set. The first edition (in book form) was issued in 1830 and is now revered as a masterpiece of political journalism. The work was based on tours across Britain made on horseback and first published as a series of letters in the Political Register, the weekly periodical Cobbett established in 1802 and ran until his death in 1835.
