Engraved title, printed dedication, 2pp. of subscribers, 24pp. of text, 5 double-page engraved charts, double-page map, and 10 double-page engraved views with centre-pieces printed in green, all within decorative borders after Lempriere and Gravelot. (3 plates with tears into illustration without loss, a few other marginal tears.) Contemporary mottled calf (slightly rubbed, rebacked with sheep).
