The scan available under Google Books had Maps and Panoramic images were missing probably scanning these must be quite a task. Tracking these missing images proved to be quite fun for a couple of months. Finally found them in the  online edition from Million Book Project under archive.org where the entire book (though not in a great shape) was made available by Hyderabad University while Oxford housed edition is still  ‘Limited View’ over at Hathi Trust.
