First number styled 'Second Edition' on contents leaf, but contents leaf for July in Volume IV misprinted June, which, according to Abbey, is an indication of being bound from the original parts. The present set comprises the whole of Series I in fourteen volumes and seven of the first eight volumes of Series II (but lacking Volume I, Jan.-June 1816, and the May issue of Volume 7 (1819). This set is lacking 66 plates in the parts that are present plus a further 41 for those that are not.

A collation against Abbey is available upon request. Rudolph Ackerman originally worked in his father's coach-building business in Germany, and then as a designer of coaches and print-shop proprietor in London, where he settled in 1795.

Published monthly from 1809 to 1828 in a total of 40 volumes in 3 Series with almost 1500 engraved, aquatint, and lithographed plates, it could already, by the end of the first year "boast of three thousand subscribers - a large number for those early days of journalism." (Martin Hardie) From the third number onward it was issued under the general editorship and management of Frederick Schoberl [1775-1853]. The text included a vast array of information intended for general public consumption, politics, war news, simplified technology, art and book reviews, social events, reports on public health, market prices, bankruptcies, fashions. Included are articles and plates relating to Canada, i.e. accounts of Montreal, Halifax, Fredericton, and Quebec, a view of Fort George in Upper Canada from Old Fort Niagara by E.W.
