Yet another scheme carries the book down to 1882. In its actual form it comes down in some sort to 1864. Of later (or in some cases somewhat earlier) date would have been chapters on some of these:-

In the next scheme these chapters, covering the years 1860-1870, were to have been compressed into five; and the series then continued:-
