-------------------
This set includes the first serialisation of The Uncommercial Traveller, here incomplete as it began 28th January 1860 through to 13th October 1860 and this set begins April 14th so we lack the first few instalments. We also find much of Wilkie Collins' Woman in White and No Name in serial form and several other prominent authors serialised.

First 5 volumes (of this set, chronologically) uniformly bound in typical half calf over marbled boards. Sixth volume also in half calf but without raised bands and green rather than brown. Volumes seven and eight in very attractive blindstamped black half calf. Tooled morocco labels to vols 1-5, 7-8. First six vols rubbed with a little loss at heads. Shelf wear. All boards attached. A little scuffing to marbled backed boards but generally better than typical. A little foxing to endpapers else generally clean throughout.
