First edition, first issue, of this fine documentary record of naval engagements with the plates in three states. The title vignette is uncoloured, and the plates carry the pre-publication J.

Sutherland and others after Whitcombe, all in three states: in outline, monochrome and fully hand-coloured on India (without the two portraits, a few occasional insignificant spots). Contemporary dark-red straight-grained morocco, covers gilt with royal arms, gilt edges (rebacked preserving original spine, extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance : Thomas Fitzherbert (bookplate) -- Sir Andrew Noble, Bart. (bookplate).
