A collection of seven hardcover volumes published by the Houghton Mifflin Company at the Riverside Press, Cambridge. The group includes a six-volume set of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, edited by Richard Grant White, and one volume from The Writings of John Burroughs. The Shakespeare volumes are organized into three sections: Comedies (Volumes I and II), Histories and Poems (Volumes III and IV), and Tragedies (Volumes V and VI). The title pages for the Shakespeare set are printed in red and black ink and feature the Riverside Press device. The Burroughs volume is identified on the spine label as Volume XVII, with a title page featuring a photogravure-style illustration of a stone building. The volumes are uniformly bound in olive green cloth with printed paper labels on the spines. The Shakespeare labels list the specific contents and volume numbers in Roman numerals. The Burroughs spine label uses a variant spelling, John Burroughes' Writings. All volumes were produced in Boston and New York by Houghton Mifflin Company between 1911 and 1915.
