Vol. III. pp. (iv) + 225 + (3). Publishers' catalogue, 30 pp., dated October, 1842, bound in at end.
Each volume contains frontispiece (that to Vol. III. is a map) and several text illustrations, wood engraved and printed on text paper. Dark green cloth, gilt, blocked in blind. Yellow end-papers.
Notes—(i) Vol. I. was published in May, 1841; Vol. II. in April, 1842; and Vol. III. in December, 1842.
(ii) Because the book was first planned to occupy one volume only, there is no indication on Vol. I. of its being the first of a series. Vols. II. and III., however, are so described on title-page and on binding.
(iii) Vol. I. was catalogued on its publication as bound in “boards.” This indicates that copies were first issued with paper label and in half cloth, but I have never seen one so bound.
