The Works. The Standard Edition, number 23 of 750 sets only, signed by the publisher as issued, and rarely encountered in a contemporary binding in such nice condition, given the episodic nature of the publication. The Standard Edition comprises all of Melville's major works, including the first edition of the novella Billy Budd, which was discovered in manuscript among Melville's papers in 1924.
