I almost bought that collection back in 1990 for $150 but refrained. I almost wish I hadn't gotten a complete works of Walter Raleigh, or Ralegh, as the name is spelled in th edition, which is available ion Google. (All the texts in the ciollection aren't actually Ralegh's work, but in 1829 the Ralegh Canon looked different. The ability to read, in bound books, The History of the World, the last complete edition and a very good one, trumps the free status of the Google book. (The 1829 editor went back to the first edition, which Ralegh saw through the press despite being in the Tower, and corrected errors that were made by the mid-18th century editor, whose name, nonetheless is sometimes associated with the 1829 edition.) Blah blah blah. Useless info, unless you want a seven volume PDF of The History of the World.
