The illustrated centenary edition of Scott's historical novels set in the medieval era, and the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The author's fascination with moments of transition is evident in this twenty five volume set, and the novels demonstrate his belief that very different societies move through the same stages as they develop. For nearly a century after their publication, the lawyer's novels continued to be read all across Europe. Prior owner's bookplate to the front pastedown of volume I, 'Captain J. Hardy Welsby, The Grange, Southport'. Welsby has also inscribed his name in ink to the front free endpaper, dated 1882. Welsby co-founded Hesketh golf club in Southport. There is another ink inscription to the top edge of the same page by 'Emma Herring', beneath which Coela Harrison and Rosemary Herring's names can be found, dated 1919 and 1948 respectively next to their relation to Emma Herring.

Lightly rubbed to the boards and the spine, with some minor wear to the extremities. There is a tiny chip in the spine label to volume XII, and volume XIII is missing a slither of leather to the head of the spine. The rear hinges are starting to volumes II, III and XVI, and the hinge is a little loose to III. The front and rear hinges are also starting to volume I, and the binding at the front and the rear of the volume is a little loose as a consequence. Otherwise, volumes are firmly bound. Aside from some light foxing to the front and the rear of the volumes, and to the plates and their surrounding pages, pages are bright and clean.
