Folding map in Vol. I, and two full page maps in Vol. II. Errata slip present in Vol. I. Illustrated throughout.

This copy has 307 plates, lacking plate 252, and not counting the plates that are intentionally lacking.


First issue, with "Frederick" on p. 104.


Cloth is well worn with hinge repairs and nearly perished paper labels; three endpapers have been replaced or reset; Vol. II lacks the rear free endpaper. Only a good set.
