Once Salmon completed the text in 1739, the publishers prepared a new quarto edition in three volumes, advertised in the London Daily Post and General Advertiser for 4th April, as “This day is published …”. Volume II describes Europe, with maps and prospects of Vienna, Amsterdam, the Vatican and Versailles.
