Product Details

A beautiful complete 7-volume Cambridge Edition of the collected works of renowned American poet, Quaker, and abolitionist John Greenleaf Whittier. This matching set brings together his poetry, anti-slavery writings, journals, historical sketches, essays, and personal works, making it one of the most comprehensive collections of his writings. Bound in matching green leather with raised bands, gilt spine lettering, decorative gilt tooling, and gilt top edges, these volumes are as striking on the shelf as they are historically significant. Several volumes retain uncut (deckle) pages, a wonderful feature that indicates portions of the books have never been read, preserving them much as they left the publisher over 130 years ago. Condition: Overall very good antique condition. Light to moderate age-related wear, including rubbing and scuffing to the leather, primarily along the edges and spines. Bindings remain sound, interiors are clean, and the set presents beautifully. Please review p
