Contains the usual matter, with Keck's Annotations distributed at the bottom of the pages, instead of all together at the end of the treatise; also, a few additional Notes, a short Life of the Author, and a Table of Contents at the end of the volume. The text seems to be a reprint of L, with a few variations. (British Museum.)

Containing the usual prefatory matter, with copious Notes, partly original, and partly abridged from Keck's Annotations; carefully edited, but with very numerous unauthorized alterations in the text, which appears to be taken mainly from K or L. Probably very scarce ;-unknown to Wilkin and Gardiner. (Univ. Libr. Edinb.)

R. 1831. 12mo. Oxford, Vincent.

Title, "Religio Medici. By Sir Thomas Brown Kt. M.D." Contains a short notice by the Editor, “T. C." (viz. Thomas Chapman, then an undergraduate of Exeter College, Oxford,) the usual old prefatory matter, a selection of Keck's Annotations, with a few additional Notes by the Editor, and the text probably reprinted from 7 or M, with a few alterations. (Bodl. Libr. Oxford.)

S. 1831. Small 8vo. Cambridge (U.S.), Hilliard and Brown.

In the "Miscellaneous Works of Sir Thomas Browne," forming the third volume of a series called "Library of Old English Prose Writers," edited by the Rev. Alexander Young, D.D., of Boston. The volume contains also Hy

extracts from Vulgar Errors. The Editor states in his Preface that the Notes are for the most part selected from Keck's Annotations,' but he does not specify the edition from which the text is taken. (Only the title-page and preface seen by the present Editor.)

T. 1835. 8vo. London, Pickering.

In the second volume of Browne's Works (4 vols.) carefully edited by Simon Wilkin, F.L.S., and called "the fifteenth Edition" (which it certainly is not). The text is mainly taken from C, but with numerous alterations taken from the MSS. and the other printed editions. Under the text there is a notice of the principal various readings, and a copious collection of Notes, partly selected from Keck's, and partly original; and Digby's "Observations" are added at the end. There is also a list of "Additions and Corrections" (pp. xxi. xxii.), chiefly caused by Wilkin's having overlooked the table of Errata in C until his own edition was printed off. (British Museum.)

U. 1838. Small 8vo. London, Rickerby.

Prefixed to the Hydriotaphia, edited by J. A. St. John. Contains the usual old prefatory matter, and Digby's "Observations ;' also a Preliminary Discourse," and Notes by the Editor, and a useful Table of Contents. The text is probably a reprint of L. (Bodl. Libr. Oxford.)

V. 1844. 8vo. London, Longman.

Prefixed to the Christian Morals, carefully edited by John Peace, with a Preface by the Editor, a useful Table of Contents, a selection of "resemblant passages from

1 These, he says, were "first published in 1654." If this statement is correct, the edition of 1654 has escaped the researches of Wilkin, Gardiner,

Cowper's Task," and a copious Index of unusual words. It omits all Notes except the few inserted in the margin by the Author himself. The text is a careful reprint of C, (British Museum.)

with a few alterations.

W. 1845. Small 8vo.

London, Pickering.

Prefixed to the Letter to a Friend and the Christian Morals. Carefully edited by the Rev. Henry Gardiner, M.A., of Exeter College, Oxford, with a Preface by the Editor, and numerous Notes, partly original, partly from Keck's Annotations, a marginal analysis of the different sections, and a useful Glossary of unusual words and phrases. It is called "the eighteenth Edition (in English)," which, however, it certainly is not. The Editor 'carefully collated the text with three of the MSS. and with the most trustworthy of the editions." (British Museum).

Marston.

Prefixed to the Hydriotaphia and the Letter to a Friend; edited, with an Introduction and Notes, by J. W. Willis Bund, M.A., LL.B. It is stated in the Preface that the text is taken from Z; but if this is correct, the copy used by Mr. Bund must be very different from that used by the present Editor. (British Museum.)

AA. 1874. Small 8vo. London, Rivingtons.

Edited, with Introduction and Notes, by W. P. Smith, M.A., for the series of "English School Classics." Wilkin's text, as given in Bohn's edition (X), has been followed, with a few slight alterations. (British Museum.)
