Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. The complete two-volume set, in very good condition, rebound in half leather over marbled paper-covered boards, with new endpapers. The text is clean, the plates strong, the folding maps excellent, some foxing to text and offsetting from plates. Properly withdrawn from an academic library, with library markings limited to cut-stamps to title pages and accession number stamped to following leaf. Our copy of volume II was printed in 1810 by J. Stratford. Volume I of our set was published in 1816 by Nuttall, Fisher, and Dixon from plates prepared by Stratford, who had been sent to debtor's prison in 1813, and whose name remains in a note ("Stratford, Printer") at the foot of the final page. The text of our copy is complete; all of the nine maps are present; four of the 121 plates are lacking: plates 47 and 48 (Women of Santorini, Women of Nio) are simply missing, while the publisher's use of identical names for different plates resulted in duplication of two and omission of their like-named counterparts. (Please see attached image for "List of the prints, with the places for their insertion." What principle may have guided the naming of the prints and the organization of that list may never be known). Lapses and duplications in page numbering complicate the collation of these volumes. In no case has any content been lost or duplicated, as the text, catchwords, and gather numbers are continuous. Volume I: frontis., engraved t.p., t.p., [ii]-iv, [i]-iv, [1]-632, 637-752, 759-764, maps (1 folding), plates. Volume II, 2 blanks, engraved t.p., t.p., iv, [5]-14, 13[b], 14[b], 15-482, 475[b]-482[b], 483-710, 801-812, 809[b]-812[b], 817-839[a], 839[b], 839[c], 840-870, i-[iv], maps (1 folding), plates.
