About This Item
London: Jarrold & Sons, 1902. xxxvi, 102, . . HB. 8vo, orig. blue-green cloth, gilt title to spine and front board, bevelled edges; lightly rubbed to extremities, spine faded; patterned endpapers; page edges uncut. A few neat pencil notes to rear flyleaf. Vg.. From the mss. of Sir Thomas Browne M.D. (1605-1682), in the Sloane Collection in the Library of the British Museum and in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. With notes by Thomas Southwell, F.Z.S. Member of the British Ornithologists' Union; Vice-President of the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists' Society. Scarce. Thomas Browne's notes and letters to Christopher Merrett on the natural history of Norfolk lay unpublished among his manuscript collection in the Sloane Collection until 1835, when they were first included by Wilkins in an edition of Browne's works, however, they were first printed separately and <i>in extenso</i> in this work by Thomas Southwell. The notes are of particular interest as they were one of the sources from which Merrett compiled his list of British birds printed in the <i>Pinax</i> (1666-1667).Mullens & Swann p. 100..
