This pair of Hilaire Belloc Antique Books includes On Everything and On Anything, two early English essay collections published in London in consecutive years. On Everything was published by Methuen & Co. and is believed to be the 1909 first edition; On Anything was published by Constable & Co. Ltd. in 1910 and is a first edition. Both are bound in green cloth with gilt lettering and borders, making them particularly handsome companion volumes despite having been issued by different publishers.
