ASPIN, Jehoshaphat. The Naval & Military Exploits which have distinguished the Regin of George the Third, London: Samuel Leigh, 1820. 12, hand-coloured aquatint frontispiece, 33 hand-coloured circular aquatint plates (lacking two additional plates, very minor soiling), contemporary half blue morocco gilt, t.e.g.
The 33 circular plates measure only 2in. in diameter; Prideaux calls their execution 'tiny and beautiful'. Some copies carry 2 extra plates, 'Vittoria' and 'Pampeluna'. They were probably issued later as an added attraction for a book that remained in print for several years. Abbey Life 350.
