This appears to be the original edition of the Manual; if so, it is very Incorrectly cited by 

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

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

Edition." London: John Chidley, 123, Aldersgate Street. MDCCCXL. 



Not seen. See the orlg. 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 be doubted that such number of editions, in a proper sense, 

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

 the insignificant Brown version of " Selborne."
