Second edition.
This fascinating history has been completely rebound in later full leather and gilt, and measures approx. 20.4cm x 16.1cm x 3.3cm. The boards are a bit surface worn and scuffed, and the hinges are rubbed and worn. The front hinge is cracking and a little chipped, and thus has some movement. The rear hinge is worn, cracking to bottom, although board remains a little firmer. Internally, there are marbled endpapers to the front and rear. There are 2 previous owner's armorial bookplates, to the front pastedown (Richard Gregory of Coole Park). There is ink writing to the front blank. There is an ink number to the top corner of the title page. The contents are foxed and browned throughout, in varying degrees. The large folding map/plan has been has a large repaired tear, and is a bit wrinkled and creased. Several of the other folding maps/plans have wear or small tears to folds and creases, see images. One plate is difficult to open without wear. There is a small amount of worming to the corners of a couple of sections. There is the odd mark and light grubbiness as would be expected. Several leaves have chips to corners, not affecting text. There is a burn hole to one leaf. There are a couple of ink marks in places, and one folding battle plan has some addition detail written in ink, see images. Readable, reasonable, and complete. 
[12], 163, [25], 328 p. (errors in page numbering, although text continuous)

There are 14 engraved plates/plans, as called for, including a plan of the Battle of the Boyne.
"George Warter Story (c1664–1721) was an English clergyman, known for his history of the Williamite War in Ireland, of which he was an eye witness. He was at Battle of the Boyne, and served with Lord Drogheda while the war lasted.. His famous ‘History’ is an authority for the war in Ireland on the Williamite side. The first part, entitled ‘An Impartial History, ’ goes down to January 1690–1. A second edition was published with the ‘Continuation’ in 1693. Some of the maps are by Captain Samuel Hobson. ..The account ends with the official close of the war by proclamation on 23 March 1691–2."
