Contemp. full tan calf, gilt spines, maroon labels; a little rubbed, sl. marked, vol. V sl. chipped at head of spine. An attractive set. Southey's wonderfully sprawling final work, described in the Encyclopaedia Britannica as 'a rambling miscellany packed with comments, quotations, and anecdotes', was begun in 1834 as a series of observations, essays and stories, loosely connected by the fictional narrator Dr Dove. It famously contains the first telling of 'The Story of the Three Bears' in chapter 129.
