The first volume of The Fifty Years' Work of the Royal Geographical Society is a detailed history of the Society, from its foundation in 1830 to its golden jubilee in 1880. The volume includes accounts of the Society's early expeditions, its role in the exploration of Africa, Asia, and the Americas, and its work in promoting geographical education.

The second volume of The Fifty Years' Work of the Royal Geographical Society is a collection of papers on a wide range of geographical topics, including exploration, surveying, cartography, and climatology. The volume also includes a number of maps and illustrations.
