Bibliography

I. BURTON

i. Biography, and Burton’s Library

MSS. Marshall, 132 (Bodleian), an early fourteenth century volume of Statuta Angliae, at one time in the possession of Burton’s ancestor, William Burton, who fell in the battle of Towton, 1461. It has been used for memoranda, and contains a pedigree of the Burton family, medical recipes and notes by Burton’s father.

The original will of Robert Burton, proved in May, 1640, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, is now at Somerset house. (See, also, Stephen Jones’s Life of Burton in the 1800 edition of the Anatomy, and often in later reprints.)

MSS. Seld. supra 80 (Bodleian). Among the contents is “A Note of Mr. Robert Burton’s books, given to the Library by his Last Will and testament A° Dni. 1639.” The Bodleian contains many books with Burton’s autograph. In some, passages are marked by his pen. Those of his books which belong to the library of Christ Church have, through Osler’s liberality, been brought together and placed in a special case, with editions of the Anatomy.

Burton, William. Description of Leicester Shire, 1622, pp. 173–9. On the engraved title is a bird’s-eye view of Lindley, the house in which Robert Burton was born. The Brit. Mus. copy (at one time Peter le Neve’s) has MS. notes on the Burton pedigree.

ii. Philosophaster, and Occasional Latin Verse

A MS. of Philosophaster was formerly in the possession of W. E. Buckley. Another is in Lord Mostyn’s library.

Philosophaster, Comoedia; Poemata adhuc sparsim edita, nunc in unum. collecta. Ed. Buckley, W. E. Roxburghe Club. Hertford, 1862. The poems had appeared in Academiae Oxoniensis Pietas erga Jacobum Regem, Oxford, 1603; Musa Hospitalis, Ecclesiae Christi, Oxon., Oxford, 1605; Justa Oxoniensium (in memory of Henry, Prince of Wales, London, 1612); Death Repealed, Verses on Lord Bayning, Oxford, 1638; and similar collections. Buckley did not give all Burton’s Latin verse. At the beginning of the 1617 ed. of Rider’s Dictionarie, corrected by Francis Holyoake, are some Latin elegiacs by Burton addressed to the editor.

An edition of Philosophaster by Bensly, E., is announced as in preparation in W. Bang’s Materialien zur Kunde des älteren Englischen Dramas (Louvain).

iii. The Anatomy of Melancholy

The Anatomy of Melancholy, What it is. With all the Kindes, Causes, Symptomes, Prognostickes, and Severall Cures of it. In Three Maine Partitions with their severall Sections, Members, and Subsections. Philosophically, Medicinally, Historically, Opened and Cut up. By Democritus Junior, With a Satyricall Preface, conducing to the following Discourse. Macrob. Omne meum, Nihil meum. 4to. Oxford, 1621. The next seven editions are in folio. The first edition of the Anatomy contains the Conclusion of the Author to the Reader, signed in Burton’s own name. Second ed., Oxford, 1624. Third (first with engraved frontispiece explained in English verses, and introductory poems in English and Latin), Oxford, 1628. Fourth, Oxford, 1632. Fifth (begun at Edinburgh and stopped by Burton’s printers), Oxford, 1638. Sixth, Oxford, 1651, and London, 1652. Seventh, 1660. Eighth (double columns), 1676. Editions of 1728 and 1738, mentioned in Watt’s Bibliotheca Britannica, appear to be imaginary. Ninth edition, 2 vols., 1800. For this reprint see Lamb, C., Detached thoughts on Books and Reading, and Coleridge, S. T., Letters, ed. by Coleridge, E. H., vol. I, 428. The 1800 ed. was reprinted several times, and so was that published in 1845.

The Anatomy of Melancholy. Ed. by Shilleto, A. R., with introduction by Bullen, A. H. 1893. Supplies many references, chiefly for quotations from well known authors. Text, apparently, from seventh ed. Reviewed in Academy, 15 Sept., 1894, by Robert Steele, also Athenæum, 6 Jan., 1894; Saturday Review, 17 Feb., 1894; Spectator, 6 Oct., 1894. Reprinted in 1896, etc.; with some corrections, 1904.

II. BARCLAY

[At the end of P. A. Becker’s article (see below, iv) is a general bibliography of Barclay’s works, translations of his works, and productions that have been attributed to him on dubious grounds. See, also, pp. 34 and 114, 115 of the same essay. Dukas (see below, iv) supplies a bibliography of Euphormio; Collignon, one of Icon Animorum in his Le Portrait des Esprits de Jean Barclay, and one of Argenis in his Notes sur l’Argenis. The fullest and best bibliography of the last work is to be found in John Barclay’s Argenis, by Schmid, K. F. The following select list is necessarily based in great part on these authorities.]
