London, Cassell and Company, 1897-1898.

The complete six-volume set of Walter Thornbury's (1828-1876) narrative history of London, nicely illustrated and full of insightful reflections on a city which had changed much during Thornbury's life. The final four volumes were completed by Edward Walford (1823-1897) following Thornbury's tragic death owing to 'exhaustion from acute mania' at the Camberwell House Lunatic Asylum in June 1876 (ODNB), and are presented together with Walford's own narrative history Greater London as a uniformly bound eight-volume set.

8 volumes (comprising Thornbury vols I-VI, and Walford vols I-II), 8vo (26 x 20 cm), numerous illustrations including a folding facsimile map of London (marginal tear approx. 10 cm), occasional spotting; indigo cloth backed in green morocco, gilt spine in sections. A very good set.
