This copy of the work consists of three fascicles, published in 1802 (400-700), 1804 (800-1100) and 1810 (1200-1500); and five loose plates in the same format, without dates of publication. Each of the three fascicles was issued in a blue paper cover that states the publication date, and contains four maps, each with several accompanying pages of German-language text. The first of them includes the title page. These fascicles were bound together, probably soon after 1810, and the other five plates, with no accompanying text, were put inside.
The choice of which places in England to show can be eccentric. The 1500 map shows "Colnham"; I can find no evidence that it ever existed. The 1700 map shows many places which gave their names to battles of the English Civil war; these include Roundway and Stratton, places I had never heard of despite spending my life in southern England. The 1788 map shows Woodstock and Blenheim, presumably because Blenheim was the seat of the Duke of Marlborough. The 1816 maps shows Wellington (and not the much larger Birmingham), perhaps on account of the Duke of Wellington; but the Duke took his title from the Wellington in Somerset, while the map shows the Wellington in Shropshire.
Kruse is mentioned in Wikipedia's article Euratlas: "Kruse, well aware that historical accounts are often biased for geographical, philosophical or political reasons, created a set of sequential maps in order to give a global vision of the successive political situations."
