First volume: frontispiece, engraved title, 19 plates, some folding - second volume: portrait on frontispiece, 5 plates - third volume: portrait on frontispiece, 6 plates - fourth volume: portrait on frontispiece, 7 plates (the volumes are apparently complete and the plates correspond to those mentioned in the index, however there is no list of plates for the first volume, slight sporadic spotting).

Provenance: Oliver Belmont (armorial bookplate). (4)
