Text and illustrations appear to conform with the 1840 edition, but another setting of type.

Plates include six engraved portraits. Other plates and illustrations in the text are wood engravings and etchings. Illustrations and plates are signed by: E. Bernard, Bosselman, Burdet, J.H. Caqué, Cherrier, Mme. Fournier, Hebert, Hopwood, Lavieille, H. Lavoignat, V. Loutrel, A.A. Piaud, A. Pollet, A. Quartley, Raffet, Rambert, Roux, Sears, and others. Most engravings are after paintings/drawings by Raffet; some after works by Gros, Marcke, and possibly others.

LC copy incomplete: all after p. 608 wanting (chap. xlviii, "Testament et codicilles de Napoléon," and table of contents). Lacks the [8] plates in chap. xlviii as well as the plate facing p. 406, an engraved portrait of Josephine. Forms part of the personal library materials in the Joseph and Elizabeth Robins Pennell Collection.
