Sobre este artículo
London: Longman, Brown and Co. et al.. Very Good+. 1847. Half Leather. The works of Alexander Pope (1688-1744) are presented in a deluxe eight volume set. Includes a life of Pope by William Roscoe. The varied output consists of poems, translations, essays, satires, "moral epistles," prose writings, three volumes of his correspondence, and fragments and fugitive pieces. Mr. Pope is principally remembered for his poetry and his satirical writings. Many of his sayings are still in common usage, such as "damning with faint praise," or "to err is human; to forgive, divine." Though the title page promises "illustrations," the only illustration in the entire set is a frontis portrait of Pope, engraved by W. H. Worthington from a painting by I. Richardson in volume I. --- Handsomely bound in half calf covers over marbled boards, marbled endpapers and all textblock edges marbled. Titling and decorations to spines in gilt and on black spine blocks. Each volume about 400 to 475 pp. --- A well-preserved set: tightly-bound, unmarked and sturdy, though with light chafing to cover extremities, mild rubbing to cover marbled paper and a tear to leather at vol. I's spine. (NOTE: Due to the weight of this item, extra shipping charges may be requested.) ; Octavo - 8 to 9 in. tall .
