CHRISTIAN MORALS.

E. 1716. 12mo. Cambridge, Crownfield (Univ. Press). Title, "Christian Morals: by Sir Thomas Brown, of Norwich, M.D., and Author of Religio Medici. Published from the original and correct Manuscript of the Author; by John Jeffery, D.D., Arch-Deacon of Norwich." Contains a Dedication from Mrs. Littelton, Browne's daughter, to her relative the Earl of Buchan, and a Preface by Archdeacon Jeffery; with a few short Notes by the Author. (British Museum.)

II. 1756. Small 8vo. London, Payne.

Title, "Christian Morals: by Sir Thomas Browne, of Norwich, M.D., and Author of Religio Medici: The second Edition, with a Life of the Author, by Samuel Johnson; and explanatory Notes." The Life by Johnson has been frequently republished; the Notes are short and useful, chiefly explanatory of the Author's strange words; they are generally quoted as if written by Johnson, but they are not attributed to him in the title-page of this edition, nor of the following, nor in any Preface. (Coll. of Phys., London.)

2. 1761. Small 8vo. London, Stuart.

Title, "True Christian Morals: by Sir Thomas Brownc, M.D., Author of Religio Medici, &c. with his Life written by the celebrated Author of the Rambler; and explanatory Notes. The third Edition." A new title-page prefixed to the unsold copies of II. (Wilkin.)

The existence of this second reprint title-page is given on the authority of Gardiner.
