Composed of 21 double-page maps plus five sheets with multiple maps and city plans. Quarto, title page, American Publisher's Notice, Preface, List of Plates, Sketch of Classical Geography, 26 maps, Index. The index is followed by several un-numbered pages advertising Blanchard & Lea's Educational publications.

Map and contents are very nice and clean and bright save for the occasional spot. Binding is very good with just a little wear to edge of spine and corners slightly bumped.
