Zwei Bände: 1) Anekdoten von Regenten, Staatsmännern, Feldherren und anderen historischen Personen. Erstes bis viertes Bändchen. 4 Bändchen in 1 Band. 2) Sektion i & ii: Deutsches Volksthum im Mittelalter, u. Sektion iii &iv: Curiositäten. Gallerie auffallender Erscheinungen aus dem Gebiete der Natur u. Kunst. 4 Bändchen in 1 Band. The edges are chipped and the leather spine strip unravelling at the side. The tail of the second volume is damaged. Ownership signature and embossed stamp on both volumes. The front hinge and that on pp140-141have been reinforced with tape and a closed tear in volume 1 has been repaired with acid free tape. The second volume has a cutting from an Italian newspaper neatly tipped in between the pages. Foxing and tanning throughout both volumes. One volume has and A printed on the tail of the spine, the second a D, which suggests 2 missing volumes, though I could find no reeference to them listed anywhere. Despite its faults, it remains a sturdy and attractive volume.
