Perhaps lacking one plate on the division of troops, as there are two plates present, numbered II and III, on the Division of Cavalry and Artillery.

Page 140 misnumbered 130. Some paper reinforcement along the gutter of the front endpaper and flyleaf. Contemporary owner's names on the endpapers. Quarter brown Japanese tissue with a white paper label, over contemporary blue paper covered boards, scuffed and worn. Two institutional holdings noted on OCLC. (Sabin 26902. Shoemaker 22863).
