The set evidently came into Soane's possession by gift or purchase no later than August 1779, when a note on the endpaper of his sketchbook 'Notes Italy and Italian Language' (SM Vol 162) records that '19 vol of Gianelli's History of Naples' were 'Sent to England in Mr. Burdon's Box' with '6 vol. of Stern's Sermons' (q.v.).
