(Some light marginal soiling.) 19th-century half sheep (worn). FULL-MARGINED PLATES COLOURED IN A CONTEMPORARY HAND. Tooley notes that 'genuine coloured copies are rare'; they are distinguished from copies coloured later by the head-line captions printed in blue rather than black. The plates are normally heavily cut-down when bound with the octavo text; the Abbey copy is described as uncut but measuring only 256x175mm. The plates are based on drawings made by officers who participated in the action shown. Tooley 392; Abbey, Life , 342; Sabin 67602.
