FIRST EDITION, volume 1 (all published), 8vo (180 x 112mm.), engraved title, 2 single-page plates, and 16 folding maps, plans and plates, contemporary vellum, binding very slightly worn

This was probably intended as the first of a series of works on the islands, but was the only one to appear. This first edition is distinguished from the second edition by the engraved title page and the 30 page appendix at the end containing, inter alia, a list of the members of the Academy of Argonauts.
