This is undoubtedly the Minkoff edition, also available directly from http://www.minkoff-editions.com :
"
SMITH, John Christopher. - Suites de pièces pour le clavecin... premier [-second] volume. Réimpression de l'édition de London, the author, J. Walsh, ca. 1732-1737. Genève, 1986. 2 volumes - en 1 volume - in-4 de 160 pages, broché. (Clav. eur. XVIIIe, tome III)

Two sets of six suites, including airs with doubles: "Handelian in style, they are inventive and interesting" (New Grove).
"

It is all in modern clefs and is as easy to read as any modern edition.
