The binding order is a little odd in the set of volumes see, at Carlisle Library: volume title page, preface, then the month title pages for January to June, list of plates, then the text. The text pagination has gaps, presumably where the month title page is missing, pp.3-88, 91-200, 203-312, 315-424, 427-536, 539-648, plus indexes pp.649-676. The same arrangement is used in 1862.

Two month title pages show the flavour of the contents and the arrangment in the magazine:-
