There is occasional light marginal damp-staining and spotting, and vol.3 has a few small wormholes in the inner margin. It is a good set. The labels are lettered "Oeuvres de Pope" and the bindings appear to be continental.

The title-page on vol.2 has the ink signature "Hon.ble Mrs Dillon". This is presumably Charlotte Dillon, daughter of George Lee, 2nd Earl of Lichfield, and a great grand-daughter of Charles II and Barbara Villiers. In 1744 she married Henry Dillon, 11th Viscount Dillon, Irish peer and colonel proprietor of Dillon's Regiment.
