Complete in 3 octavo volumes, each in full, contemporary-to-the-period calf with rebacked, contemporary-to-the-period, gilt-bordered and titled spines. A handsome, well-preserved set, with very light rubbing to several of the boards. Internally very clean, with just a touch of light spotting to the preliminaries but no writing or other markings to speak of. Very solidly bound as well, with all boards strong and firm. The set consists of "The Life of Virgil", "The Pastorals", The Georgics", and "The Aeneid". A number of skillful, full-page engravings complementing Virgil's text.
