With steel-engraved vignette title-page in each volume, 107 steel-engraved plates by Bartlett with blue-tinted tissue guards, and a large folding map in volume 1. 4to, very handsomely bound in fine contemporary three-quarter black morocco over marbled-paper covered boards, the spines with raised bands elaborately gilt decorated, lettered in gilt in two compartments. iv, [2], 188; [6], 152 pp. A very handsome and very well preserved copy, the binding in excellent state of preservation, the text with essentially none of the usual foxing, a couple of the plates a touch dusty at the blank portion of the plate, otherwise the plates are very clean and bright, essentially pristine and without the normal foxing, in all an excellent copy.
