Description: 5 volumes. All uniformly bound with black leather spines and corners, faded sky blue cloth over boards. Raised cords and gold lettering on the spine, with a floral design.

Sense and Sensibility has about a 4 inch crack at the front hinge. 2 volumes in 1. 250 and 298 pages (with a title page and frontispiece at each). Mansfield Park is also two parts in one volume and has 308 and 310 pages, but Part II does not have its own title page. Pride and Prejudice has 275 and 287 pages. Two title pages and two frontispieces. Hinge repair to the front hinge. The topmost quarter inch of the top margins are a half shade darker than the rest of the pages, which is likely the after-effect of some dampness a century ago. Emma 317 and 315 pages, with separate frontispieces and title pages. Lady Susan & The Watsons & A Memoir. 352 and 333 pages. A compact and attractive set. They were not printed on the highest quality papers, and the leather bindings have suffered from a century of use (some scuffs and weak hinges) but worth considering.
