Vol. II: i-vi (incl. half-title), 353-820. With a lithographed portrait frontispiece. Vol. III: i-vi (incl. half-title), 821-1298. Vol. IV: i-vi (incl. half-title), 1299-1364. With five plates and two folding charts, and two (of three; lacking the modern map) loose folding maps in the pocket. Bound in the publisher's green cloth with gilt spines. Fore- and bottom edges untrimmed. Some wear to the extremities, and splits to the heads and tails; with a closed tear to the head of vol. I. Voll. I, III and IV partly decased. Front joint of vol.
