Talk:John Aubrey

Categories and links

I'm not totally hep to the categorization system, but I wonder if it might not be better to add Aubrey to the categories "antiquarian" and "biographer" as well as "archaeologist". Although Aubrey was a pioneering archaeologist, I think a good case could be made for "biographer" being the most apt category for Aubrey, if a single category had to be chosen. --12.64.6.12 04:49, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Also, the link for Brief Lives seems to go to a modern comic book series of the same name, instead of Aubrey's Brief Lives

Stonehenge

I find it odd that there is no mention of Stonehenge in this article. The Britiannica cites him as the discoverer of the 'Aubrey Holes.'

Brief Lives

The link to this work gives an error. Google only has volume 2 of the work as a full view and not even snippets of anything else. 4.249.3.242 (talk) 13:54, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

The Google link completely broke. I fixed it (but only found a snippet view), and added a link to a scan of Volume 1 by the Internet Archive made in 2007. [1]. I wonder if the IA or Cornell mistakenly omitted volume 2. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 09:36, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
