Cloth at front is discoloured and soiled. Plate pages and surrounding pages are sometimes foxed but not usually the illustration itself. First part of book has a list of the portraits in vol.

William Leitch, James Hodges, Joseph Howe, Rn Edouard Caron, Lieut. Col. Irvine, Thomas Talbot. Thomas Talbot plate has been removed but all others present. Preface in second part dates to 1865 and is therefore presumably from an earlier edition.
