Dict. ed. 7, dated 31 Mar 1759, states that the book was published in monthly numbers containing six plates each, beginning 25 Mar 1755. The dates on the plates are not necessarily those of publication, but it may be assumed that the difference was not considerable. The British copyright acts required this dating of the plates and they were really intended to be the dates of actual issue to the public (see Stearn). Publication took place in 50 parts. The plates are engravings of drawings by G. D. Ehret, J. Bartram, R. Lancake, W. Houstoun, and J. S. Mueller. The book was issued with coloured as well as with plain plates. Some of the plates are partly colour-printed and finished by hand. *Copies*: G, HU, MO, NY, Teyler, US, USDA (col. pl.); IDC 243. *1*: 1760 (t.p.), p. \[i\]-vi, 1-100, *pl. 1-150*, various plates misnumbered. *2*: 1760 (t.p.), p. \[i\], 101-201, \[1-4, ind.\], *pl. 151-300.* For a detailed bibliographical analysis see HU 566.
