Covers and spines of both volumes have age-related wear and toning that has caused some discoloration. Corners of covers have tears and are bent inwards, and there are tears on the spine. Ex-library from the Belles Lettres Society with the information on the front inside covers. Some pen and pencil inscriptions from a previous owner in both volumes. The hinges of volume one are in poor condition, with the cover boards loose and the text block almost entirely split on page 168. Pages in both volumes have age-related wear and toning. Hinges in volume two are in better condition, but are still slightly loose. Please see photographs and ask any questions prior to purchasing. William Cooke Taylor was an Irish author who was known for his works in the fields of journalism, history, and propaganda within the Anti-Corn Law movement. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and after graduating, went on to work at various journals in London. Issues with binding and hinges due to age and wear could provide an excellent opportunity for restoration and rebinding, if desired. COLH1841ABCN
