All 3 volumes have dedications by Dr. Corney to James Lyle Young. These dedications are dated the same year as the publication date. The books seem to have been sent to Lyle Young by Corney as soon as they were published. Lyle Young was a Pacific trader who traded mainly in Melanesia and later settled in Papeete. These volumes are very hard to find separately and even harder as a complete set. Good. Signed by Author(s).
