From the massive occult collection of King Lawrence Parker - academic, dissertation author, and book collector extraordinaire. For both volumes: firm binding; rubbed corners and edges; wear to boards; Parker's bookplate to inside front board and embossed stamp to ffep; faded NYC Library stamp with numbers to half-title and title pages (as well as to one or two other random pages); interior is otherwise clean and free of markings. Vol II has minor chipping to edges of first few pages. Books appear to have been rebound, with remnants of leather spines attached.
