Porter & Coates. Hard cover. Very Good. No date, probably 1890's. Bound in brown decorated cloth. The Waverley Novels are a long series of novels by Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832). For nearly a century, they were among the most popular and widely read novels in Europe. Because Scott did not publicly acknowledge authorship until 1827, the series takes its name from Waverley, the first novel of the series released in 1814.

EDINBURGH: ADAM AND CHARLES BLACK, 1877. Hardcover. Good to Very Good/No Jacket.

This is an unusual set, in the original purple / red boards with the publisher's original white printed paper labels to the spine.
