A New And Authentic System Of Universal Geography, Antient And Modern : All the late important discoveries made by the English, and other celebrated navigator of various nations, in the different hemispheres, from the celebrated Columbus, the first discoverer of America, to the death of our no less celebrated contryman Captain Cook, &c. ... By Thomas Bankes

London : Printed for C. Cooke, No. 17, Pater-Noster-Row, and sold by the booksellers... [no date - c. 1788-89] . 

The main problem with these large folios is the size!

However, once they go together they are certainly impressive!
