Generally very sound volumes, lacking the title gilt on spine (possibly by design?). A very nice set! MacDonald secluded himself for six months to reproduce his lifetime of poetic genius. Wm. Carey Davies, his lifelong friend and secretary, helped in this often laborious effort, which was published when the Scotsman was sixty-eight. MacDonald regarded himself a poet first and foremost, and society deemed his poetry of a very high order. He also authored the Scottish novel Heather and Snow the same year. Attractive sets in this format are scarce!
