In his Vol 1 introduction Priest apologises for the many errors in his earlier work, which predated W L Sclater\'s definitive classification of 1930. In this almost monumental work of some 1800 pp + folding colour map + 40 colour plates, Priest acknowledges the four-volume turn-of-the-century work of Stark and Sclater as well as the collaboration of Austin Roberts and other contemporaries, including the artist Norman Lighton, who was also the artist for the first \"Roberts\", who provided the originals for the colour and monochrome plates for Vols 1
