c. 1835 Volumes from The Works of Sir Walter Scott

A group of four 19th-century volumes from The Works of Sir Walter Scott, representing assorted titles from a larger collected edition. Sir Walter Scott’s prose writings were widely published in multi-volume sets during the early Victorian period, encompassing historical studies, biographies, letters, and literary essays alongside his better-known poetry and fiction.

These volumes include selections from Scott’s Prose Works, Life of Napoleon, Miscellaneous Prose, and Paul’s Letters to His Kinsfolk, reflecting the breadth of Scott’s historical and literary output. Bound in pale embossed paper boards with red leather spine labels, the set exemplifies a restrained mid-19th-century binding style intended for cohesive shelf presentation.
