This item is the rare 8 volume set, in 4 books. Sub-titled "from the fall of Napoleon in MDCCCXV [1815] to the accession of Louis Napoleon in MDCCCLII [1852]". Good condition; no highlighting or other notes. Marbled boards presumably rebound at some point, saving corners from bumps and protecting the spine - see image 2 for a title page and image 3 for Vol 1/2 cover showing marbled boards. "'History of Europe' is a multi-volume history by Sir Archibald Alison, particularly notable for its in-depth analysis of the French Revolution. Alison, a staunch defender of British authority, wrote the book with the aim of preventing revolutionary ideals from spreading from France to Britain. The book is regarded as the first serious English study of the French Revolution" (google AI overview)
