Here are volumes III, IV, V, and IX of the Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia."Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia, dictionary of American English that is generally regarded as one of the greatest ever produced. The first edition (1889–91) contained six volumes; a supplementary Cyclopedia of Names, including personal and geographic names, famous works of art and literature, and the like, was published in 1894. The entire work was under the superintendence of William Dwight Whitney (1827–94), professor of philology at Yale University. An atlas was added in 1897, and partial revisions of the set were made from time to time thereafter; a 12-volume edition was produced in 1911. Long after it went out of print, the Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia remained one of the most valuable references for etymologists, lexicographers, and historians. It contained more than 200,000 main entries and 500,000 definitions. In addition to thorough coverage of American English and complete etymology, the set strongly emphasized scientific and technical terms." Combined Weight (approx.): 29 lbs.
