Boston: Dana Estes & Company, 1900. Leather_bound. NEAR FINE. One of the most prolific Victorian novelists, Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton early on addressed the deeper issues of egoism vs. social responsibility. A prolific novelist, Bulwer-Lytton also achieved success as a dramatist, as well as a politician, having served in Parliament. He is also known for having first coined or used the phrases: "The Pen is Mightier Than The Sword", "The Almighty Dollar" and "The Great Unwashed" as well as the timeless, if oft-bowlderized phrase which began PAUL CLIFFORD, one of his novels: "It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents..." This is Warwick Edition, which was the most lavish of the several dozen odd-bindings in which these works have been issued. This set numbered 406 out of 1000 sets. Gorgeous three-quarter bound in brown Morocco over smoky-blue marbled boards, with matching endpapers. Ruled in gilt at corners and between the five raised bands. Minor rubbing and wear to edges and corners to about half of the volumes, but it's clear that most of these books have never been read. Very tight binding. Top edge gilt;foredge and tail untrimmed. Stunning example of late nineteenth century fine binding. Published around 1900.
