Edinburgh [and] London: William Patterson, 1883-1885. Bound as 6 volumes. A nice uniform set from Patterson’s Library of New England Novels. Each title-page for the various sections has a small bust portrait of Hawthorne within an engraved oval frame. 8vo, presented in handsome contemporary bindings of three-quarter sea-blue morocco over marbled boards, the spines with simple raised bands ruled in blind, four of the compartments with small gilt floral tool in the centers, two with gilt lettering, marbled endpapers, t.e.g. A very handsome set, well preserved, the contemporary morocco in very well preserved with only a bit of light mellowing to the extremities, the text-blocks clean and fresh, no foxing, all very sound and solid. A VERY PLEASING COLLECTION OF HAWTHORNE'S MOST IMPORTANT WRITINGS. This set of Hawthorne’s greatest works is composed of printings from Patterson’s uniform “Library” editions, all very nicely bound. The dates of these printings coincide with Houghton’s edition of Complete Works printed in Boston, of which there was no British counterpart.
