A handsome set of the works of Alexander Pope (1688-1744) the famous English satirist and poet. Pope suffered various health issues throughout his life but with a fierce spirit and work ethic managed to produce a large volume of significant work.

Lintot and C. Bathust in 1757. Each volume contains various illustrations pertinent to the work.
