Folio (52 x 64 cm.) in the original sugar-paper wrappers, still sewn.  There are flimsy leaves over most of the plates and a couple of guard-leaves at front and back of each Part.  In general, the prints are fine, clear, and unfoxed.  The top of the title page is reset, but the bottom seems to be from standing type.  The front cover of Part III has offset onto the back cover of Part IV.
In Part II the plates are dated 30 November and 30 December 1792; in Part III they are 20 January, 27 February, 30 May, 30 August 1793; and in Part IV they are 1 January 1793, 1 January and 24 May 1794.
At the bottom left of the covers are inscriptions:  "Black Proofs" on II, "Proofs in Black" on III-IV.  At the bottom right of the cover of Part IV, in the same hand as "Proofs in Black" is "Adey[?] aor" (hard to read), apparently the family name of the brother and sister of Abbey Books, a Swiss family though long resident in England.  Abbey Books say it came down in the family from the original purchaser, Daniel Addye (or Addey) of Seddle, near Bath -- the house is still there.
