Frontispiece engraving of Bishop Patrick to volume I, folding map of the Holy Lands in volume V. Bookplate of Rev. Robert Knox to pastedowns. Internally fresh with just occasional spotting. All volumes lightly rubbed, some marks and scoring, some wear and scuffing to the extremities, corners slightly bumped. Some leather on the upper board of volume II pasted down where is has been cut and lifted, volume III neatly respined with the original spine laid on, neat repair to the head cap of volume IV.
