Cooper's Novels, in Thirty-Three Volumes (New Edition)

New York: Stringer & Townsend, 1854. Half-Leather. Very Good/No Jacket. Corners & spine rubbed with some loss of gilt, front & end matter of a few volumes lightly foxed. Interiors exceptionally well preserved. Spine labels professionally replaced in emulation of original style. An excellent set. 1854 Half-Leather. Complete in thirty-three volumes. 12mo. 65 volumes in 33. Sewn bindings. Butterscotch leather spines and corners over marbled boards, marbled endpapers. An apparent variant of the set referenced in Spiller and Blackburn's bibliography (slightly different ordering of volumes, half-leather instead of cloth). The third American publication of Cooper's collected works, and the most complete available at the time of publication. It has since only been surpassed by an edition published several years later, also by Stringer and Townsend, which added The Ways of the Hour (the plates for which they did not possess when the 33-vol. edition was printed). Both editions were printed from the same plates. Spiller and Blackburn 169. Includes: Vol.1: Precaution. Vol. 2: Pilot: A Tale of the Sea. Vol. 3: The Red Rover: A Tale.
