Ten separate imprints including Horace Walpole’s Castle of Otranto dating from the early 1830s, bound together by the publisher together with an additional engraved frontispiece by ‘R Cooper’.

19th century half calf over cloth, worn and scuffed but soundly bound. Marbled endpapers; marks to title page and browning to frontispiece with the stub of a tissue guard which is no longer present. Most of the constituent novels have their own dated title pages, the early novels dating to 1833; Gulliver’s Travels is 1830 and The Castle of Otranto, 1833. There is an old paper repair to p13 Paul and Virginia. This edition seems to precede the Cabinet edition of 1847 found at Harvard, Coates & Cork. Contents:
