'The Plan of this Work is formed upon that of The Monumental Effigies of Great Britain, by C. A. Stothard, with which it will correspond in extent, and also present a uniformity in size, paper, and printing. It is proposed that it shall appear every three months, and be completed in fifteen Parts, containing Ten Plates each, with the exception of the last; which will consist of five Plates and the Descriptive Letter-press: the price of each Part will be 12s. 6p.' Publication ceased with six parts because of the death of George Hollis early in 1842 followed by that of his son, Thomas, in 1843.

The printer statement is found at the foot of the front printed wrapper to each part: J. B. Nichols and Son, Printers, 25, Parliament-Street, Westminster.
