Three volume set. As can be seen from the images the bindings are worn, Each are bound in full pale calf with the crest of Oriel College, Oxford, to each front board. The bindings are surface worn and scuffed, and the spine coverings marked and worn. As can be seen from the images, the spine covering of volume I is detached, although present. The spine edges of all the volumes are worn, and a little marked, and all are starting to crack/split to hinges in varying degrees, thus boards have a little movement, although all boards are holding.  The bottom edges of the spine coverings of volumes II & III are a little chipped with small dark stain. Internally, there is a small bookseller's ticket is present to the lower edge of the front pastedown in each. A couple of leaves have been opened a little carelessly to the fore edges and thus are a little nicked/frayed. Else, the contents of each are in good, bright, clean condition throughout.
