Important Condition Details

This is an antique set showing substantial age and use.

Both volumes have noticeable exterior rubbing, discoloration and wear, particularly toward the lower portions of the covers.

There is wear and separation to the inner hinges/endpapers, with exposed binding material in areas.

The final page in both Volume I and Volume II is loose.

The text blocks remain together, but the bindings should be handled carefully. Pages show normal age toning and occasional marks consistent with books more than 115 years old.

Please examine all photographs carefully, particularly the close-up photos of the hinges and loose pages, as they form an important part of the condition description.

Books are being sold as found and have not been repaired or restored.

A fascinating early 20th-century Christian theological reference set suitable for collectors, biblical scholars, clergy, researchers or restoration.
