According to the preface by translator, Albert von Treskow, the book "appeared in London as [Charles] Heath's "Picturesque Annual" for 1836, with twenty-five of the neatest steel engravings after drawings by the famous A. G. Vickers, at the cost of one pound. For a price like that a German reader demands all the classics in one volume, and if the paper turns out to be poor quality he coolly puts on his spectacles".
Bookseller's note: The German publisher was evidently keen to get Ritchie's book out quickly.  It would have taken too long to have the illustrations engraved, so he used the young artist Eduard Gerhardt (1813-1888), later to achieve renown as a painter, particularly of architecture, to copy Vickers' atmospheric drawings onto lithographic stone.
