[Tex/LaTex] How to cite a multi-volume book of collected works with BibTeX

bibtexcustom-bib

I would like to cite a particular volume within a multi-volume book
that is the collected works of some author.

The collected works were edited by an editor.
I am using a custom .bst file that I created via

latex makebst

What would be the correct BibTeX entry?
Note that I am forced to use BibTeX only and unfortunately cannot resort to biblatex or the like.

Consider to use biblatex. Here's how an entry of your desired type looks like with biblatex (taken from biblatex-examples.bib):

@book{coleridge,
  hyphenation = {british},
  author = {Coleridge, Samuel Taylor},
  editor = {Coburn, Kathleen and Engell, James and Bate, W. Jackson},
  indextitle = {Biographia literaria},
  title = {Biographia literaria, or Biographical sketches of my literary life
    and opinions},
  shorttitle = {Biographia literaria},
  maintitle = {The collected works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge},
  part = {2},
  volume = {7},
  series = {Bollingen Series},
  number = {75},
  publisher = {Routledge and Kegan Paul},
  location = {London},
  date = {1983},
  annotation = {One (partial) volume of a multivolume book. This is a
    \texttt{book} entry with a \texttt{volume} and a \texttt{part} field
    which explicitly refers to the second (physical) part of the seventh
    (logical) volume. Also note the \texttt{series} and \texttt{number}
    fields}
}

Compilable example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{biblatex}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}

\nocite{coleridge}

\printbibliography

\end{document}
