The work contains 4 engraved title pages.
The fold-out map originally at the end of the fourth volume is missing.
Volume format in octavo (approx. 23 x 16 cm).
In addition, in very good condition considering the age of the volumes, which show scratches, abrasions and small losses on the leather portion of the covers.
The bindings show no sagging or looseness, and some pages have small brown spots.
