rorming the first of the series entitled the "British Library ". 



This forms Vol. I of the series called the "British Library", and seems fo \w the tirst issue 

 of Brown's edition. The "Antiquities" are omitted, and the woodcuts are few in number 

 and of moderate quality. 



There are many more editions of the Capt. Brown series: see 1834, 1835?, 1840, 1843, 1845.

 iXot seen : title and comment from Jfewton, 1877. 



This is now known to have been edited by Lady Dover, iind is dedicated to her son, H. 

 A[gar] E[Ui8], subsequently Lord Clifden. It is the first "Bowdlerized" edition, chiefly re- 

 markable for the omission of several letters (as Xos. 28, 30, 32 and 33 to Barrington) and shorter 

 passages. But the intention was good, and the book has consequently found its way into 

 boys' and girls' hands, who have derived much profit from it. The woodcuts also are pretty.

Not seen: not cited by Newton, 1877 : cited by Ag. and Strickl., Bibl., iv, p. 561, most likely 

 by misprint for 1832, which is the date of one of the Jardine eds., not noted by Ag. and Strickl., 

 unless this " 1833 " be meant for it. See what is said under the alleged ed. of 1830.

Not seen: title and comment from Newton, 1877. 



The names of the contributors of the "Notes" are given on p. xii, and are Herbert ("W. 

 H."), Sweet (" R. S."), and Renuie ("J. E."), whose initials are appended thereto. The title- 

 page bears no year, but on the fly-leaf immediately preceding is "1833". This is the best 

 edition published up to that date, and is commonly known as Rennie's. Some of the wood- 

 cuts are very well executed.
