The volume is abundantly illustrated.

“The author’s knowledge is so broad and complete that even his criticisms (and he does criticise) are likely not to be resented. The work fulfills all that is implied in its sub-title; it is so complete that it is not possible adequately to catalogue its contents in a short notice.” George R. Bishop.
