There are two books in this volume: 'The ancient history of the Egyptians' and 'The History of the Carthaginians'; there is also a preface on the uses of 'profane history' especially in regard to religion. The pages are neat and tidy. Volume 2 T. Gillet printer: 'The history of the Carthaginians contd.'

The early pages have a map of 'The East' drawn by Mr D'Anville with three measurements Greek stades Roman mile Parseng or Leage of 3 Roman Mile. The detail is stunning the condition is uplifting. This applies to the consequent maps in the book. Some pages have tanning some have foxing but most are clean clear and contented. Volume 7: G. Woodfall printer: 'Sequel of the history of Alexander's successors contd.' Again some pages are foxed some tanned. Most are companionable and comfortable and clean.
