New edition, illustrated with a frontispiece by Delamonce, an engraved portrait by Kornlein, and 23 figures by Frankendaal. This edition contains two more volumes than the 1754 edition. Full marbled brown sheep binding. Spine with raised bands, decorated. Red morocco title and volume labels. Headcaps partly worn on volumes III, VI and VIII. Minor defects. 4 corners slightly bumped. Fairly good decorative set.Volumes 6 to 8 contain Pope's correspondence, notably that with Swift and Gay. Pope was both a great classical poet (the greatest of the first half of the 18th century), a philosopher noted for his Essay on Man, as well as a novelist: Memoirs of Martin Scrivelius. The works notably contain his critical essays.
