THE WORKS OF ALEXANDER POPE ESQ. In Nine Volumes, Complete. With Notes and Illustrations by Joseph Warton, D.D. and others.

Complete in nine volumes. Contemporary full polished calf, triple ruled in gilt to the upper and lower boards, gilt decorated board edges, four raised bands, elaborately decorated gilt compartments, titles and volume numbers in gilt on red morocco labels to the spines. All edges speckled blue. Volume I with an engraved portrait frontispiece and 'the only portrait that was ever drawn of Mr. Pope at full length'. Armorial bookplate of James Alexander to the front pastedown of each volume; the small binder's book label of John Smith and Son, Glasgow to the upper left corner of the front pastedown of volume I. A near fine set, the bindings square and firm with minor rubbing to the extremities. The contents, with one signature of heavy spotting to volume I and sporadic spotting to the margins elsewhere, are otherwise clean throughout.

A handsome eighteenth century edition of the complete works of the poet and satirist Alexander Pope.
