The Historical Chronicle has a header page as did its predecessor the Monthly Intelligencer. The month title page is included in the pagination. The register of books is also included in the normal pagination, not to be removed to the end.

Frontispiece

Some volumes have a frontispiece, for example:-



A Map of the Old World, as it appeared before God destroy'd it with the Waters of the Flood.
Providing a different view on plate tectonics!
NB: In general, frontispieces have not been studied in this exercise.

The example volume has the frontispiece, so it appears the supplement and indexes have been lost accidentally, perhaps damaged or lost before rebinding.
