Vol. II complete with all eleven maps or views (six folding). Vol. III shows an early worm hole to the first few pages, not affecting text. All six maps and plates are present (two folding), plus the folding table at the end, but with no advertising leaf included. Vol IV contains 61 engravings of people, places, and animals visited by Capt. Cook in what is now Hawaii (described as the Sandwich Islands), Western British Columbia, and Alaska. Forty of the plates are folding; 21 are large single-page plates. The volume begins with 'The List of Plates', and is numbered pages xci to xcvi (see above). Some of the illustrations are foxed.

There is foxing (off-setting, really) on the pages facing the plates and charts, and occasional marginal foxing to the text, but the latter is hardly untoward.
