A beautiful set of four mid-19th-century volumes from The Aldine Edition of the British Poets, published in London by Bell and Daldy. The books feature matching deep green bindings with gilt lettering, decorative gilt details and illustrated portrait frontispieces.
The set includes:
Edward Young, The Poetical Works — Volumes I & II, 1858
Henry Kirke White, The Poetical Works — 1860
Mark Akenside, The Poetical Works — 1857
The two Edward Young volumes form the complete two-volume work in this edition. The dates and publisher are consistent with documented Bell and Daldy issues of the Aldine series.
All four books are intact. There is age-related wear to the bindings, pages and edges, and some give/looseness to the spines, as shown. The books remain together and display beautifully. Please review photos for condition.
