6 bound volume of Chamber's Edinburgh Journal Conducted by William and Robert Chambers Volume VII (Jan. to June 1847) Volume IX (Jan. to June 1848) Volume X (July to Dec. 1848) (spine is marked Vol. XI - title page is marked Vol. X) Volume XIV (July to Dec. 1850) Volume XV (Jan. to June 1851) Volume XVI ( July to Dec. 1851) Each weekly volume is full of essays, short stories / tales, scientific/historical articles, poetry, and anecdotes. Hardcover with leather spine and corners. Decorative covers. Plain paper end pages. Gilt accents. Decorative patterns on the edges of the closed page block. This is one of several books we are currently listing in this or a similar type of binding. Would be stunning grouped together in an office or library. Each hardcover is over 400 pages. Each is printed in London. A few of the stories and articles included in these volumes include: Cancer Said to be Cured by Mesmerism To an Old Volume of Robinson Crusoe (poem) The Cretan Daughter The Two Homes: A Story for Wives The Death Warning: A Legend of Saco Island Hint to Temperance Societies Police Statistics of Manchester The Lentil in Scotland The Sheep - Farmer in Australia Ridicule as a Weapon Tales of the Coast Guard Condition: Good condition. Antique volumes. Covers have rubbing and wear to the decorative boards. Age toning to the pages. Pages are not brittle but they need to be handled with caution - they are printed on a paper closer to newsprint than other books I have listed. Corner tips and spine ends have wear and the boards are exposed in places. A few pages have creased corners. Volume X/XI has a loose page that is laid into place (page 15-16) and this page has a tear in the edge along with some chips on the edges. Page 245-6 of volume VII has a short tear in the gutter with a long crease across the page. Pages 135-7 of Vol. XIV have short tears with creasing. Otherwise tight binding. Please view all photographs and consider them as part of the description.
