These set of books are in an immaculate condition for their age. Many of the volumes pages are un-cut as shown in photos, and have likely not been read or touched much through their life.
To my knowledge these books have only had two primary owners. The first owner was Robert MacGregor Dawson, a prominent man who lived in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia his signature is written in the front of each book. Afterwards these books were purchased by a book seller. Then they were then sold to a living Nova Scotia Author who's owned them for the past 30 years. This is whom I had acquired these set of books from and who had told me the history about these books.
Each photo set and pages are all the cover book as pictured.
