(London): Printed by William Savage for John Booth, 1810. First edition. 8 pp. Illustrated with 13 hand-colored aquatint plates, by J. Clark after Bradford; with tissue guards (foxing and offsetting); scattered minor foxing and smudging to plates and text.

"According to Tooley, No. 107, there is an edition where both title-pages carry the date 1810, and where there are minor differences in the punctuation of the main title-page. This might possibly be a reprinted title-page for some copies of the edition, after supplies of the title printed for the parts had been exhausted." (Abbey Travel 135 2B).
