In v. 2 two ink ownerships on the the verso of the engraved title have been crossed through and one has been excised from the title-page leaving a hole near the title. Almost all plates show light to moderate foxing; a few plates have marginal tears or dampstaining; one plate is torn with loss. The maps are generally clean; one map is detached.

The bindings are very edgeworn and scuffed with joints starting. Volume 1 shows loss at heel and crown. A serviceable set but offered with all faults. Of interest but not pertaining to the historical subject is a misogynous poem "The Bachelor's Soliloquy" which is laid-down in v. 1. Written by the Bard of Tower Hall and meant to be a droll advertisement for Bennet's Tower Hall Clothing Bazaar it has several stanzas about the dangers of choosing a bride due to the vanity and cupidity of women and the general expense of keeping one. It is followed by a note also in verse from the bard proclaiming fond love for "ladies fair" but ends with the following couplets: Then ladies and gents if you'll regard / The facts I have been naming / We shall have no need of Lucy Stones / On woman's rights declaiming. unknown books
