Each volume contains frontispiece in wood engraving printed on text paper. Grey-brown cloth, gilt, blocked in blind. Pale yellow end-papers.
Notes—(i) This book was published on September 7, 1844. It is possible that the earliest issue contained an undated catalogue, but this can only be established by comparison between a larger number of copies of the book than I have contrived to examine, and a careful investigation of the books listed in any such undated catalogue.
(ii) I have seen an announcement of this book as in “boards,” but have never met with copies so bound.
