Copyright Jan. 19, 1825 by Thomas Brown.

Priestley's Letters to the Jews, and Levi's Letters to Dr. Priestley (89 p. following p. 252) have separate title pages dated 1824; the imprint of the first mistakenly names "Dr. Samuel Brown" as publisher. The two works were published by Thomas Brown in 1824 (Shoemaker 17696 and 16895). Pages [90-92] contain an errata statement and an advertisement for Brown's History of the Shakers, not part of the 1824 publication.
