An unusual piece, COPAC records only the BL copy of this Fifth Edition, no copies on OCLC or RLIN.

It would seem that this is in some away connected with Clarke & Beeton’s Illustrated History of the Expedition to the Crimea., No.2 of which is advertised on the last page of the present item. That part work folded after five issues and perhaps this was an attempt to promote interest in the larger work or maybe to use up some of the sheets that could be issued as a “stand alone” item.
