I am absolutely loving Brown of Haddington's "A Compendious View of Natural and Revealed Religion" available at Googlebooks. Is it the same as the modern book titled "The Systematic Theology of John Brown of Haddington"? Or is it abridged?

Ken, Yes, it is the same work. The modern reprint is not abridged. (I'm not sure why they titled it, "The Systematic Theology of John Brown.")

They who perceive in themselves discoveries of the divine goodness, so full and absolutely perfect, and who make them the subject of earnest meditation, will never embrace new doctrines, by which the very grace they feel so powerfully in themselves is thrown into the shade. --John Calvin

I liked John Brown's biography but its been so long since I read it I don't remember much.
I love John Brown's Commentary on Gal 2:2 where he calls a any other gospel a false gospel, but I think this is Brown of Edinburgh a different man. Not sure if they were related?

Correct. Two different John Browns. Off hand I can think of at least 4 notable theologians named John Brown.

Reading it right now in hardback Ken. Excellent work...
