Provenance : Thomas Philip, Earl de Grey (bookplate). The plates are numbered I-III, IIIa-e, IV-V, VII-XVI, XVIb, XVII-XXXIV, XXXIVa, XXXV-XLIII, 'Pag. 190', XLV-XLVII, XLVIIa, XLVIII-LV, LVa, LVI-LX, LXa, LXI, 'Pag. 1472', LXIII-LXVI, 'Pag: 591', 'Pag: 592', 'Pag: 622', 'Pag. 653', 'Pag. 702'. These are possibly from James Beeverell's Les Delices de la Grand' Bretagne, & de Irlande , 1727, which is 8° in format and contains reductions of Kip's plates, although RIBA states: 'None of the plates is numbered, but each has a page direction for binding.' The engraver Jan Goerée supplied some plates for Beeverell's work, and plate LXa -- the only signed one in the present work -- is signed by him. RIBA 233.
