Meredith's 'Gold Coast' one is 1812 but likely rebound and the other is a Cass 1967 reprint. 1812 edition has quarter leather binding (see photo), no library stamps noted.
Burton 'Gold Coast' is 'To the Gold Coast for Gold'. All maps and plate are present. The binding is half leather with marbled boards (possibly rebound). No library stamps.
Reindorf's 'History of the Gold Coast' we believe may be a reprint of the 1895 edition
Cruickshank's 'Gold Coast' appears to be in the original cloth binding (although faded) and is not library stamped.
