ROBERT BURTON, JOHN BARCLAY AND JOHN OWEN
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 me-
moranda, 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 Aº 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

poems had appeared in Academiae Oxoniensis Pietas erga Jacobum

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1612); Death Repealed, Verses on Lord Bayning, Oxford, 1638; and similar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.
