An attractive shelf appearance, in all. Paper covered boards are mostly clean with some chipped paper found at the board edges. Upper top board corner is bumped (to the point of being cracked) on volumes two and three. Bindings are tight and sound. Fore- and bottom edges deckled.
Text blocks are mostly very clean. Volume one frontis depicts a portrait of Montesquieu by H. C. Muller. Bookplates on inside front boards, "Edward de Lima". Lima's inscription on the half title pages.
