Notes
1. His elder brother was William Burton, the Leicestershire antiquary,
born 24th August, 1575, educated at Sutton Coldfield, admitted
commoner, or gentleman commoner, of Brazen Nose College, 1591; at the
Inner Temple, 20th May, 1593; B. A. 22d June, 1594; and afterwards a
barrister and reporter in the Court of Common Pleas. But his natural
genius, says Wood, leading him to the studies of heraldry, genealogies,
and antiquities, he became excellent in those obscure and intricate
matters; and look upon him as a gentleman, was accounted, by all that
knew him, to be the best of his time for those studies, as may appear
by his 'Description of Leicestershire.' His weak constitution not
permitting him to follow business, he retired into the country, and his
greatest work, The Description of Leicestershire, was published in
folio, 1623. He died at Falde, after suffering much in the civil war,
6th April, 1645, and was buried in the parish church belonging thereto,
called Hanbury.
2. This is Wood's account. His will says, Nuneaton; but a passage in
this work [see fol. 304,] mentions Sutton Coldfield; probably he may
have been at both schools.
3. So in the Register.
4. So in the Register.
5. Originating, perhaps, in a note, p. 448, 6th edit. (p. 455 of the
present), in which a book is quoted as having been printed at Paris
1624, _seven_ years after Burton's first edition. As, however, the
editions after that of 1621, are regularly marked in succession to the
eighth, printed in 1676, there seems very little reason to doubt that,
in the note above alluded to, either 1624 has been a misprint for 1628,
or _seven_ years for _three_ years. The numerous typographical errata
in other parts of the work strongly aid this latter supposition.
