Reserve sections in this topic. I plan to start with 449-660 Linguistics.

I am entering the catalogue number and codes in the Comments field. I am also adding the latter as tags. After we agree on more user-friendly names for each tag, it will be easier to power edit them that way.

Cool. When you have a chance, add just a bit (at least) of biographical info and an image, and then I'll do the Legacy-fication process.

The profile for Burton does not include this title as a source, so I thought I'd throw it out there: The library of Robert Burton by Nicolas K Kiessling (Oxford Bibliographical Society) 1988.

Richard Burton (1821 – 1890), not Robert Burton (1577 - 1640), though he's probably worth contemplating, too.

Sorry. It was late, I'd been driving all day... *Doh!*

Just wanted to drop this here: Someone is working in Burton's library and doing some wonderful research:
