Bound by Blackwell in 3/4-green morocco with raised bands and intricately gilt-tooled spine panels, T.e.g.. Spines uniformly sunned, else a fine set. The Edition De Luxe, limited to 300 numbered sets. "The text used is that of the latest edition of each work prepared for the press by the distinguished author. He carefully revised and added to several of his works... Thus he rewrote and enlarged The Conspiracy of Pontiac; the new edition of La Salle and the Discovery of the Great West, and the 1885 edition of Pioneers of France included very important additions; and a short time before his death he added to The Old Regime fifty pages, under the title of The Feudal Chiefs of Acadia. The present edition therefore includes each work in its final state as perfected by the historian, and the indexes have been entirely re-made." BAL 15486.
