There are later reprints from the same stereotype plates, the title-page only modified. The 

 work appeared originally at Edinburgh (8, Oliver and Boyd), as vol. i of the Edinburgh 

 Cabinet Library (not seen by me), probably in 1832 or 1833, of which the Harper edition is a 

 literal reprint. A fifth Edinburgh edition appeared in 1845, and a German translation in 1834.
