WORKS OF OSSIAN.

Second edition. Four volumes in two. Contemporary half calf, ruled and decorated in gilt to the spine, titles in gilt on faded brown and green morocco labels. All edges red. Marbled endpapers. Ribbon page-markers. Etched title pages designed by Goethe. Includes John Clark's 'An Answer to Mr. Shaw s Inquiry into the Authenticity of the Poems ascribed to Ossian', Edinburgh, (1781) at the beginning of volume I, as called for. An excellent example, the bindings square and firm with wear to the extremities and a small chip at the head of the second volume (vols III and IV). The contents, with the small contemporary ink name 'Schwartz' to the lower right corner of the front blank endpaper in both volumes, are otherwise bright and fresh throughout.
