Original engraved title is here used as a frontispiece with the title wording and Peake's signature removed and with the imprint altered to: 'Published for William Fearman, Library, New Bond Street, Jany 1819.' The order of the last three plates is reversed. The signature of R. Havell on plates 5, 6, and 7 is clear in this edition."--Abbey.
