There is a little rubbing to the edges of the boards and leather - but no splitting or breaking. Two (of four) labels have come away from the spines. Internally, the books are clean and tidy with a touch of darkening to the page edges. A note with the books states that they were acquired from the library that Mackenzie left on Jethou, a small island in the Channel Islands, occupied by one tenant - which was Mackenzie from 1920-23 when he moved to Barra in the Hebrides. Ouvrage en deux tomes. Chacun est à moitié en cuir, avec des planches marbrées et des étiquettes bordeaux au dos. Éditions mixtes. Le premier volume est la quatrième édition de 1822. Le deuxième volume est la deuxième édition de 1821. Chaque volume a l'ex-libris de Compton Mackenzie sur le plat avant intérieur. Inscription du propriétaire sur le premier papier de chaque volume (B. Lumley). Chaque volume a un frontis gravé et il y a une carte dépliante pour le premier volume. Nombreuses vignettes tout au long des œuvres. Dans l'ensemble, l'état de ces œuvres est bon. Il y a un peu de frottement sur les bords des planches et du cuir - mais pas de fente ni de rupture. Deux (sur quatre) étiquettes se sont détachées des dos. À l'intérieur, les livres sont propres et bien rangés avec une touche d'assombrissement sur les bords de la page. Une note avec les livres indique qu'ils ont été acquis de la bibliothèque que Mackenzie a laissée sur Jethou, une petite île des Îles de la Manche, occupée par un locataire - qui était Compton Mackenzie de 1920 à 23 lorsqu'il a déménagé à Barra dans les Hébrides.
