(4) hardbound volumes with issues of Spirit of the Times from 1850's to the 1870. Books have major condition problems that include paper loss inside and out, separated boards, and degraded spines. However, the large volumes still have a huge amount of fascinating, readable content and interesting graphics. Notable volume in this lot is a full year of Spirit of the Times from 1852. The boards have less severe paper loss and bumping that the others and the separation from the spine is less than 50%. Interior pages have some spotting and edge wear, but are overall in good condition.
