D’ARTAGNAN BOOKS
These are first edition books in average condition. They were published by Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley in 1832. I presume these are the original publishers covers - normally replaced with leather bindings.
There are numbers '719' written to all three books, and inside the front cover of the first book is a whole page of notes, in the same hand.
'Memoirs includes Henry V, Oliver Cromwell and John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, amongst others.
These are 1st Editions / 1st Printings.
