- Talbot: Notebook ('L')
- Scope & Content:
-
The notebook is part of a larger series and probably continues Notebook 'K' (Add MS 88942/1/35). Talbot starts with thoughts about Greek mythology, but then moves on to the etymology of words, names and places, mainly in English and Greek, but also in other languages, mainly German, later also in ancient Mesopotamian languages. The notes are not systematical. There are also notes on Assyrian history and a short section on Macbeth. The British diplomat and archaeologist Austen Henry Layard is mentioned. Many references to contemporary publications e.g. in the Literary Gazette up to 1852 ('Lit. Gaz.'). It continues with Add MS 88942/1/37.
Notebook started: Feb 1848.
