The index to poetry has gone, and does not reappear. But, contents, other indexes and list of plates are included.
Occasional volumes lack the list of plates, or one or other index, or volume title page. These might be oddities of the particular set of volumes seen at Carlisle Library.

Volume title page

In the series of volumes at Carlisle Library there is an interesting binder's error. A copy of the volume title page for 1850 part 1, vol.34, is also used for vol.36, 1851 part 2. The page has been partly corrected in pencil.
