Description :

Writing that has withstood the passage of time and is still relevant today.

Dialogues of Plato (B. Jowett, trans./intro/analyses) Publishing date not present, but we believe this to be circa 1899-1910. 4 volumes. Limited edition of 1000 sets. National Library Company, New York. approx. 400 p. in each volume. Owner's name on inside front cover. This appears to be a hard set to find with all 4 volumes intact. Please note there is wear on the binding commensurate with age, but the books are still in good shape. We couldn't find the same set available for sale elsewhere to compare.

Ovid's Metamorphosis (Ovid) 1961. Heritage Press, New York. 520 p. Owner's name on inside front cover.

The Confessions of St. Augustine (JG Pilkington, trans.) 1963. Heritage Press, New York. 296 p.

Heritage Press existed from 1937 - 1982. They published almost exclusively classics in literature and history. Their publications were known for terrific illustrations, quality materials, and elegant covers that were lovely without being overly precious.
