Two Volume Series Encased in Collector's Box. Translated to English by B. Jowett, M.A. Intro by Raphael Demos, Harvard. Random House, NY 16th printing
Copyright 1892, Macmillan, Copyright renewed 1920 Oxford, Intro Copyright 1937 Random House. Dedicated by Jowett to former students in Balliol College and Oxford University.
Vol I is 879 pages. Vol II is 939 pages. Vol II has an 88 page index.
Every page has an italicized brief quotation in the header indicating the content of that page, such as "Worth is wealth when we know how to use it," "The elements of wealth are infinite," "Some ignorance is better than some knowledge," Imitation of grief and passion leads the spectator to indulge them."
There is only one page that has a wrinkle, that is the last page of Vol I. It is the 2nd blank filler page following the last text page. The wrinkle measures 3.5" by 1.5" at the margin of the blank filler page.
This series has been encased in the bound set and stored in my library at a uniform temperature for 38 years.
This is an outstanding collection in utmost prime condition. It has remained in the encased box for the 38 years that I have owned it.
I will entertain questions and can provide additional photographs as needed.
