Hardcover. Four volumes. Each volume is a first edition (see further detail below about dustwrappers). Tall octavos. 612; 651; 608; 671pp. Purple cloth stamped in gilt, topedges gilt. Sunning on the spines of Volumes I, II, and III, very good or better. Dustwrappers of Volumes I and II are price-clipped and apparently from early, but later printings. Modest foxing on jackets, chip at crown of Volume I affecting much of the title; despite the flaws, a handsome and uniform very good set. John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough and ancestor of the author, was widely regarded as one of the greatest commanders in British military history.
