Talk:The Anatomy of Melancholy

First publication date -- from NYTimes Book Review article

The article states, without a footnote, that The Anatomy of Melancholy was first published in 1621. I found a mention of this in one of the quotes listed on the complete-review.com entry linked from the page. The quote, "... Upon completing the first folio in 1621, Burton ..." is cited as coming from a book review by "Arthur Krystal" in "The New York Times Book Review" on July 20, 1986. The title is not given. The only mention I've been able to find of this book review is an abstract in the ProQuest National Newspapers Core database(Document ID: 8906542), available (with a library card) via the LAPL. It agrees with the above citation data, and provides the title as: "Fretting, chafing, sighing, weeping — A toast to the melancholic writer", and the page number as 3. I haven't been able to find any mentions of the review in Google or the NY Times' archive. I haven't been able to find a copy of the full text anywhere, yet.
