This ap])ears to be the original edition of the Manual ; if so, it is very incorrectly cited by 

 Engelni. Bibl. p. 411. There is a later ed. of the same. The Manual must not be confused 

 with the author's greater work, History of British Birds, in 5 large 8vo vols., 1837-52, q. v.

iSTot seen. See the orig. Brown ed. of 1833. It would appear, from this title, that there 

 were eight issues of the Brown ed. between 1833 and 1840 ; but I have not been able to learn 

 of so many as this, and it may bo doubted that such number of editions, in a proper sense, 

 actually appeared. No one appears to have taken full account of the many reappe.arances of 

 the insignificant Brown version of " Selborne."
