The work was issued in 15 parts. Part 2 is dated 1868 (Turner (2012), p. 304) but was sent from Madras before Turner's estimated 'Earliest date of publication', April 1869; see Madras memorandum, n. 2 below. See Lucas (2026) for discussion of the date of publication.
The part was transmitted with T. Ware to M, 23 March 1869 (in this edition as 69-03-23a). MS is accompanied by a memorandum that was evidently received with the works in question:
