The History of Henry Esmond Esq. Complete in 2 Volumes , Vol 1,& Vol 2 , Two Books
This is a nice antiquarian set of Thackeray. Burgundy Covers with Roughcut Edges, Gold writing and Gold Gilt top edges, These Books are in Good Condition for age, I do not see any markings, insides, pages are slightly tanned, so just a flew small flaws, outside cover boards show a little general shelf wear, bumps, stains and marks. Books are about 5.25" x 7.5" each having around 400 pages
The Joseph Knight Company published from around 1889 to 1897 and it was acquired in 1896 by Louis Coues Page (1869-1956), who "renamed it L. C. Page & Company" (L. C. Page)
See Wikipedia, "Louis Coues Page", So even though I can not find a date, I would guess this book to be published around from the late 1880's to the Mid 1890's or around 1895. So Set is undated, but the publisher published circa 1900
