Alexander Pope Works - 18 Volumes by Alexander Pope, Homer - 1796, 1797: Homer's Iliad (6 volumes complete), Homer's Odyssey (3 of 5 volumes), The Works of Alexander Pope (9 volumes complete)

This is a great condition, antique collection of 18 Alexander Pope volumes comprised of 2 complete sets (Homer's Iliad and The Works of Alexander Pope) and 1 incomplete set (Homer's Odyssey). The volumes were published in 1796 and 1797 in London by Law, Johnson, et al. Leather-bound with decorative gilt spines and gilt trim on the board edges. The collection includes the following:
* THE ILIAD OF HOMER (1796; complete in 6 volumes; Alexander Pope translation)
* THE ODYSSEY OF HOMER (1796; volumes III, IV and V only [of a 5-volume set]; Alexander Pope translation)
* THE WORKS OF ALEXANDER POPE (1797; complete in 9 volumes)

Condition:
The volumes are in overall very good condition with only very minimal wear, such as some light wear at some corners and at the top/bottom edges of some spines. The volumes are very clean internally - most nearly appear unread with only some occasional light foxing (the foxing is most prevalent - and heaviest - on the end papers). All volumes have an antique bookplate affixed to the front pastedown; a few also have a small London bookshop label affixed to the pastedown). A few of the spine labels have some light chipping, or have lifted a bit at one edge. Pope's Works vol IX has a few lines written in very light pencil on the front end paper...no other writing found. The Roman numeral on the spine has rubbed off from 7 of the volumes. All volumes are tightly bound with firmly attached covers. A very nice collection.
