$a The frontispiece portrait is signed by '[name cropped in binding] R.A.' The plates are unsigned, but a printed note at the head of the 'Index To The Plates' states, 'The Outlines have been etched by the Author, and aquatinted by the Engravers whose Names are placed opposite each.' These names are those of J. Hill, J.C. Stadler and D. Havell, with one plate by J. Bailey. Each plate carries the publisher's imprint of R. Hills and the date (Jan 1 1816). The printers' names are repeated in the colophon. |

$a The publication-date of 1816 is also given on each plate (Jan. 1 1816). The frontispiece portrait is captioned, 'Robert Hills'.

Five are hand-coloured (pl. 20, 21, 22, 35, 36). |
