Both volumes in this two volume set are in very good- condition in original, brown cloth covered boards with blind embossing on the boards and gilt text stampings on the spines. The cloth for both volumes show rubbing and wear to the spines with the cloth worn through at the heads and heels of the spines and there are a number of chips to the cloth on the spine of volume II. Both are octavos measuring 8 3/4" by 5 3/4" with the engraved title pages and frontispieces showing foxing. The rest of the text is essentially free of any foxing or tanning. The binding, hinges and joints are all tight and strong. "Illustrated with up to 300 engravings from sketches by the author." [from the title page] Both volumes contain the fold out maps. The map for volume I is located at the front of the book and the map for the second volume faces page 428. Both maps are in fine condition.
