Hardback. A nine volume set consisting of The Rise Of The Dutch Republic; A History in three volumes, A New Edition, published 1875 by Bickers & Son. History Of The United Netherlands, In Four Volumes, Second Edition with portraits, published 1868 by John Murray. The Life And Death Of John Of Barneveld, In two volumes, published 1874 by John Murray. All uniformly bound in full tan leather with double gilt ruled borders. Each spine has decorative gilt tooling and a red and green title band between five raised bands. The leather is a little rubbed and worn consistent with the books age, and a little faded in places. Otherwise a very good binding. All edges and endpapers marbled with a bookplate to either the front or rear. The pages to all three volumes of the Dutch Republic are clean with just a little foxing towards the rear of the third volume. There is foxing to the History of the United Netherlands, heavier to the prelims and towards the rear of volume I & II. Replete with the folding map of Antwerp to volume I and portrait frontispiece to all four volumes. While there is slight foxing to the two volumes of John Of Barneveld the pages are generally very clean. Replete with frontispiece to volume I plus further plates to both volumes. Overall a very good set. This would make the perfect adornment for any bookshelf.
