Four volumes. 12mo. First edition, first state. Original drab boards; paper spines and printed paper labels. Half-titles present in all volumes. Scarce first state, with Vol. 4, p. 253-254 integral and not a cancel, and with 'circum-' in line 3 and the two place names in line 6 of page 253. Vol. 2, 305-306 and Vol. 3, 15-16 are cancels as called for in Worthington. This is a beautiful set in original boards; however, a close inspection suggests that the spines and probably the labels may have artfully been replaced at an early date. The endpapers are later, and bear a watermark of Britannia seated and what appears to be a date of 1830. The original boards have some wear to the edges and some loss of paper to one volume. A remarkable and scarce set, possibly in full original bindings but likely in bindings restored in the early twentieth century. In a custom cloth clamshell case of about that period.

The Abbotsford Edition. 12 large octavo volumes. "One of the most richly illustrated works ever published. Of Steel Engravings alone there are 120, after drawings by Stanfield, Roberts, Sir David Wilkie, Leitch, Creswick, McCulloch, and other distinguished Artists. Of Engravings on Wood there are nearly 2,000, all of them engraved with scrupulous regard to accuracy of drawing and beauty of finish. Illustrated with about 2,000 engravings." Contemporary half crimson morocco, spines in six compartments, elaborately gilt; marbled paper boards and endpapers; all edges gilt. Some light minor rubbing and scuffing, and some wear to the edges of the marbled paper boards, else a near fine set. The text blocks are fine and bright with only the occasional light offset from an engraving to the facing page. Loosely laid in to volume one is the Adam and Charles Black List of Publications for March, 1852, which lists this title on the final page. The publisher, Robert Cadell, died in 1849 and A&C Black bought his rights to the Scott publications in 1851 and became the distributor for the existing stock of this set. According to the List, "The cost of this Edition exceeded £40,000. Nine-tenths of the impression have been already sold; it is not stereotyped, and there is no intention on the part of the Proprietors to reprint it."
