We have for auction a set of three Imperial Journals. Volume 1, Volume 2 and Volume 3. I believe these were published around 1850. I have included numerous photographs in the listing so to illustrate the condition - externally they are worn but the pages appear to be fine although one or two of the fold out plans and diagrams may need to be opened and then refolded more carefully. Each book measures 28cm x 22cm x 5cm. These are heavy books. They can be collected if preferred from Oughtibridge, Sheffield S35. You are welcome to view them prior to bidding if you wish. If you have any questions then please ask and I will be happy to help.
