WHEWELL, WILLIAM (MASTER OF TRINITY COLLEGE) [PROVENANCE - JAMES D. GAFF] - HISTORY OF THE INDUCTIVE SCIENCES, FROM THE EARLIEST TO THE PRESENT TIME

London, John Parker, 1857. 1857. Hardcover . Hardbacks, 12mo, gilt and embossed sienna cloth, pp xxxii + 394 + 6 & xii + 488 & xiv + 565 + 8, VG-. The only thing about this set that detracts greatly is paper tape (tan, dried, brittle, failing) along 4 of the 6 hinges (light brown endpapers). (Slight gutter pull, as well, between ffep and half-title of volume one). Small bookplate on each volume\'s front pastedown (James D. Gaff). (A google search found him to be a "General Medical Practioner, MD & CM of Glasgow University"). Tiny, yellow bookshop label to upper corner of front pastedown of volume one (partially torn off, but appears to be M. Ogle, Glasgow). Bumped corners and spine-ends, but not much general wear at all and mostly quite clean. Very Good.
