JOHN WILLIAMZ. APPENDIX XIV LIST OF BOOKS AT BURTON ABBEY (_British Museum. Addit. MS. 23,944. See p. 200._) The following list shows what books the Abbey of Burton possessed in the early part of the thirteenth century: it is not probable that many of them had disappeared by the sixteenth century. If we had a list of the books in the Abbey Library at the time of its Dissolution we should be able to form some idea as to the extent to which the Revival of Learning had influenced the monks there. Failing this we may notice with interest the number and character of English books at the end of this Catalogue, including _Apollonius Anglicus_ (see note _infra_), which appears to be the only “pagan” book in the collection.
