		Hardcover. large 8vos. Three volumes. x + 424pp. & (ii)+ 436pp & (ii)+ 554pp. Original black cloth with gilt titling to spines, blind rules, fold out frontis in volume I, indexes. Loosely inserted are four Original Prospectuses for other works authored by Heath, including the Second edition "The Thirteen Books of Euclid's Elements"  (1926), "A History of Greek Mathematics" (1921), "Euclid in Greek" (circa 1920) and "Aristarchus of Samos, the Ancient Copernicus".  Also loosely inserted  is an autograph letter, signed, (4.5 " x 7" folded once) dated 30 Sept. 1914 from Heath to a previous owner in apparent response to a request for a copy of the book. While the author's response indicates he has no copies - other than his own - the presence of the letter would indicate that a set was ultimately obtained by the recipient , perhaps by following the author's suggestion to seek a second hand copy.    Boards lightly chafed, corners and spine ends a bit rubbed with some very light fraying, slight splitting of cloth at both ends of upper hinge on Vol II. - but hinge is sound. Paper lightly browned, contemporary ownership names on the front endpapers, a very few tiny pencil marks, otherwise internally clean. Overall, a generally sound and unmarked VG set. No dust jackets. Four prospectuses are lightly browned, rubbed at edges with a few chips and creases - overall VG.
