Notes:
Based on the publisher's statement concerning the number of plates, the main part of the work (69 plates) was presumably issued with the Appendix (41 plates) and the Accompaniment (14 plates).

Pagination statement based on the Yale Center for British Art copy, which lacks separate title pages for the Appendix and Accompaniment (described in British Architectural Library, nos. 3001 and 3002).
