The works of Laurence Sterne

London: Sharpe and Son, 1819. Volumes I and II with engraved frontispiece (one a portrait); Volume I with 2 black pages and 2 blank pages and a sheet of music. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards, spine gilt, black and red leather titles; some light wear to the covers, otherwise, a very good set. Sterne (1713-68) was an Anglo Irish novelist. His work was denounced as bawdy humour, still it became famous throughout Europe. He published sermons, wrote memoirs, and was involved in politics.
