Scholarly notes in the margins, catchwords added by a later hand. On the front flyleaf, a later hand added "Island. Chart. in fol. No 60. Inbunden år 1843 G.O.H.C." The same hand added a table of contents to the verso side of that flyleaf.

Moderately decorated (later)

Modern cardboard binding with marbeled paper on the boards; spine and corners in brown leather. The golden imprint on the spine is almost worn off. It reads: "".
