Bound in 3/4 burgundy leather, with raised bands and gilt lettering and decoration to spines. Plain endpapers. The oval frontispiece portrait, by Lawrence, is present, but alas the two maps called-for in this edition, are missing. Wagner-Camp notes that 'Mackenzie discovered the river that now bears his name, and descended it to the Arctic Ocean in 1789.
