Seller's Description:
None. Very Good. An early eight volume set of An English Garner by Edward Arber. Bound in cloth with gilt lettering and decoration. Eight volumes, complete. Edward Arber, 1836 1912, was an English academic and writer. From 1854 to 1878 he worked as a clerk in the Admiralty, and began evening classes at King's College London in 1858. From 1878 to 1881 he lectured in English at University College London; and from 1881 to 1894 he was professor of English at Mason College, Birmingham. From 1894 he lived in London as emeritus professor, being also a fellow of King's College London. In 1905 he received the honorary degree of D. Litt. from the University of Oxford. As a scholarly editor, Professor Arber's services to English literature are memorable. His name is associated particularly with the series of English Reprints. In his English Garner, he made an admirable collection of rare old tracts and poems. In cloth bindings with gilt lettering and decoration. The bindings are firm. The front hinge of volume 8 is starting. The inner hinges are generally slightly strained. The inner hinges of volume 1 are strained and in volume 3 have failed. There is mild wear to the extremities, including mild bumping and rubbing, with some discolouration to the boards. Volume 1 has a smalll section partially detached to the top of the spine, and volume 3 has a small closed tear. Internally the pages are generally clean with some very slight browning to the page edges. Very Good.
