Notes

The map referenced on the title page was not located in this copy.

There appears to be little difference in content between the 1846 edition and 1849 edition of this publication - except the available online 1849 copy as noted above did not have a map.

Cramahe Archives does not hold the original item in its archives, but has a digital image.
