1850 edition: 20.2 x 15.5 cm. The volume is quarter-bound in dark brown morocco over green printed boards, with five single horizontal rules stamped in gilt on the spine. The front cover has the full title, engraving of ships in an urban harbor, publisher, and date and place of publication; the back cover has publisher's advertising. The endpapers and text pages are of plain white rag paper, now somewhat foxed; the front free endpaper bears the hand-printed ownership note, "Wm. E. Tate, New London, Conn." The title page is identical to the front cover but for the lack of a publication date; its verso contains copyright data.
