London/New York: J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd. / E.P. Dutton & Co.. Near Fine in Very Good dj. 1959. Reprint. Hardcover. [nice-looking set, with minimal wear to books, birthday gift inscription on verso of front endpaper in Volume One; the jackets are both lightly soiled, with a couple of tiny edge-tears and a touch of age-toning to the spines]. (Everyman's Library, nos. 820 and 821) Series From the jacket copy: "it is fortunate that Defoe lived when he did [c.1660-1731], and that he was conscientious enough to find out what the individual village and town life of his day were like. What Defoe presents for the reader (as well as for the historian) is an England on the eve of change, and a partial transfer of power from the favoured large landowning class to the bustling, urgent merchants of world trade." This Everyman's Library edition was first published in 1928; this printing is from 1959. .
