In VERY GOOD Condition. The leather is supple. The hinges are all attached. No writing. Near free of any trace of foxing. This is an exceptional encyclopedia comparable or superior to the Encyclopedia Britannica. This is a gorgeous set and displays beautifully.

The Atlantic Monthly review of April 1863 called this "one of the most laborious and important literary works ever undertaken in this country" and further stated: "The cost of the work, according to a New-York journal, has been over four hundred thousand dollars. Six years have been spent in its execution, and nearly five hundred writers have been employed to contribute to it."
