Circa 1860's (there is no date of publication stated, but I have found an advertisement for this series in a newspaper as early as 1860). Published by James Cornish in London. "Construed, with the Text, into English, Literally, and Word for Word." The books measure 5 3/4" tall x 3 3/4" wide.

The Odyssey has a crease at the lower-outer corner of the front cover; a few pages at the front have a pencil marking in the outer margin...otherwise the pages are clean; the front cover has pulled from the spine 1.25" up from the bottom. The Iliad has clean pages with no markings; a few pages at the front have tiny chips at the upper-outer corner. Both spines have some paper missing at the top and bottom edges. Overall the books are in Very Good condition.
