CHAPTER XLII. TOWNSEND CHAPTER XLIII. - XLVIII LEXINGTON -- Topo..CONDITION: Volumes are complete, strong binding and intact. VOLUME II must have been exposed to a water puddle as pages 770-end show water evidence (more toward the back and onto the back cover). A couple of the along the outer edge of the last pages stick together but separate easily. Really nice set with otherwise, light antique wear.
