10 vols, published 1924-34. Top edges gilt. Spines very faintly faded, dustwrappers darkened at spines and with a few minor chips, that of vol. iv. slightly torn at lower cover panel with some creasing, that of v slightly scuffed at upper cover panel, but a very nice set, apparently hardly read. Edition limited to 675 sets; loosely inserted in vol. ii a news-cutting of The Times Literary Supplement's review [by J.B. Priestley], 27 November 1924, of vols ii, iii, iv and v - "There are several pleasant editions of Peacock in existence - notably the one edited by Richard Garnett, but none of them can be considered definitive. At last, however, with the arrival of the long-expected 'Halliford' edition, Peacock achieves the dignity of a really complete edition, with textual and bibliographical notes, facsimiles of original title-pages, and all that excellent print and paper and the care and skill of two capable editors can do for an author . . ."
