THE WORKS OF ARISTOTLE TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH. Twelve Volume Set by Aristotle (384-322 B.C.)

London: Oxford at the Clarendon Press, 1908. Twelve volume set, bound uniformly in publisher's blue hardcover cloth with gilt spine and front cover lettering and decoration. Published between 1908 and 1956, under the general editorship of Professor J.A. Smith and Mr. W.D. Ross, and translated by twenty-four scholars, containing over 5000 pages (without numeric pagination, except for volume twelve). Numerous pages are uncut and unopened. The extremities are slightly rubbed, with no major defects but the occasional tiny tear or start of fraying here and there. All hinges are sound. The boards of two volumes are very slightly splayed. The deepness of the blues varies slightly from volume to volume, but it remains attractive. Previous owner's name neatly in several volumes (Charles Singer) and a few with minor light pencil underlining scattered throughout text. Several volumes have inserted or tipped-in "compliments of" statements from Balliol College and the delegates of the Clarendon Press, while others have printed statements from the publisher laid-in, listing the publication status of each volume or publication in the set at various dates. There are numerous line-drawings and diagrams throughout several of the volumes. Each volume is without a dustjacket, in the first printing of the first edition, except for volume ten, which is bound from the parts with original grey stiff paper wrappers, in which "Politica" states "revised edition" on the title page. A note from the publisher is helpful in explaining the publishing and binding process: "As each volume made up of parts published separately is completed, purchasers of the parts will be able to obtain binding cases and title-pages by application…" If one is provided, the date stated after each volume number in the following description is the date printed on the "application" or collection title page; if there is no date stated, then there exists no such page. When stated, the date included within parentheses (along with the translator's name) after the title of an individual work or part is the date printed on the part title page, and is the original publication date of that work; if no date is stated here, then there is no part title page.
