A complete set of the First Series, 50 volumes in the original light grey cloth as published by the Van Riebeeck Society. The volumes are mostly historical, biographical or deal with colonial issues, travel, exploration, big game hunting, administration, frontier wars, native tribes, etc.. Complete first edition sets are becoming increasingly rare. HOSKEN, p. 207-208 ... lists the complete set, with all titles in numerical order (including some variants of volume 2). The volumes come from a collector who sourced them from many different sources. Some of the spines & covers are a bit discoloured, some a bit browned or foxed, most have browning on end-papers & some foxing, some have previous owner's details. Altogether, this is a nice set, all volumes good & firm, and apart from the browning & foxing, pretty close to very good
