Monumental and probably ultimate edition (1st pted 1881 and fattened through several editions. Sadly, of the 12 ornatly embossed leather covers, at least 8 are loose with two more moving that way. All edges gilt. Interestingly, of any pre 1900 edition (instant book boys not included), no copy of this ed listed on line, and as a matter of fact, most entries seem to be for single vols. Please note, due to each vol weighing about eight pounds, shipping is twenty five dollars. 6 vol. (6024791238)
