A mixed set (as usual) of the British edition; all are uniformly bound in green cloth with gilt 'TH' monogram on cover, which indicates that vols. 1 & 2 were remaindered copies rebound to be issued as a set after the 3rd volume was published.

Sm. bookplate on front pastedown (in all 3 vols.); spine also sunned to brown. Vol. 2, 1906, is apparently 1st edition but a reissue with the new binding and a half-title page. Good+ condition; spine ends and corners bumped; crack starting at last page; cracked at pp128, 209 and 273; unsunned. Vol. 3 is the 1st edition, 1908. It is in fair condition as book is broken at half-title page (only a few threads of fabric attach the board to the textblock at the half-title page), sunned spine that has a short tear at head, pp354-355 darkened, cracked at p1.
