Generally good condition overall, with a few issues. Consistent rubbing, bumping and general wear to boards consistent with age (particularly to the spines, where the lettering has been rubbed away). Tear to foldout map in volume 3. Plates appear to be in tact. Mild internal foxing throughout, with the endpapers particularly affected. Some slight tears to certain pages. The General Chart to volume 1 is essentially in tact, with wear around the edges and a small hole along one of the crease lines (with an accompanying tear and hole to the contents page that follows). Consistent foxing to page edges. Pages 369-

All Lots are offered for sale in the condition they are in at the time of the sale. You acknowledge that many Lots are of an age and type such that they are not in perfect condition. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may refer to imperfections of a Lot, but Lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the Catalogue or condition report. Illustrations are for identification purposes only and may not convey full information as to the actual condition of a Lot. You accept responsibility for carrying out your own inspections and investigations of Lots in which you may be interested. You should inspect a Lot before bidding to determine and to satisfy yourself as to its condition, size, description and whether it has been repaired or restored, as applicable, and we accept bids on Lots solely on this basis. Condition reports may be available to assist when inspecting Lots. Lots will be available for viewing in person at our premises or another location and viewing information will be available on our website.
