Just a (probably undated, often by Mc Lelland - I am not sure of the right spelling hic et nunc, sorry) reprint of an odd volume lost from the 10-volumes set published in 1908 by Werner (Akron, Ohio),with a well-done introduction in the first volume from the amiable pen of N. H. Dole. Because an orphan one, the value of your book should be more than frail... ($ 5.00?) Note that some reprints of this set were sumptuously ornated (e.g. by the Chesterfield Society, London & New York), but always from the same plates, and regularly presented as "limited" (numbered or not) editions, without any justification. Good luck. Yours sincerely, Raven's Shade (Belgium).

And to be more precise, I may add that your volume is the second one of the set I am just mentioning. Yours, Raven's Shade (Belgium).
