Did I find 19th century "gold" in my basement!?

[Sam625]

How's it going guys, I recently came across a good amount of 19th century novels in my basement. I am hoping your knowledge of these books exceedes mine and can give me some information and a possible price estimate.
Here are a few that stuck out to me:

All three volumes of Michauds "history of the crusades", translated by William Robinson. Published 1852.

Volumes 3 and 6 of " the poetical works of Sir Walter Scott Bart" 1868

Volumes 3 and 6 of "life of Buonaparte" second edition 1827

Volumes 2, 3 and 6 of le clerco's "proverbes dramatiques" quatrieme edition

"Olympe De Cleves" by Alexandre Dumas 1856

Globe edition of " the poetical works of Alexander Pope" by Adolphus William Ward M.A litt d. 1889

If you have any questions about the book to authenticate it, or need any pictures, please dont hesitate to ask.
Thank you so much for helping me out!

There is an on-line guide, or index, to rare book values based, I believe, on prices realized at recent auctions. You should be able to turn it up through googling. Some books have value, some don't. It all depends (on rarity and condition for example). You might even search BAR for previous posts on the topic. One way or the other there's a good chance you'll find what you are looking for -- not to mention someone from here having your answer directly.
Bringing a volume(s) directly to a rare book shop is the other way to get an answer.

You might check out ABE Books. I've gone to a book dealer with some antique books we own, and he told me one of the best sources for pricing, even antique books was ABE books. Fill in as much as you can on the advanced search. The prices will fluctuate, it's whatever the market will bear.
