London, George Philip & Son, 1883.

Large folio (approximately 560 × 400 mm), [vi] pages (half-title, title and contents leaves) plus 51 maps (50 of them double-page) and 'a valuable index of reference' (88 pages including the title leaf). The preliminaries and all maps are printed on only one side of each leaf.

Original half leather and cloth, both lettered and decorated in gilt, all edges gilt; all leather recently renewed, with most of the original leather now mounted over the new work (a reasonable result, without being top of the class); unobtrusive narrow stain to the top margin of the preliminaries and the first two maps; eight maps have clean splits to the top or bottom of the centrefold (marginal only in two instances, with the longest of them 150 mm and 200 mm respectively); trifling signs of use and age; overall, a very good copy, with the contents in excellent condition.
