[DCRM-L] Authority abbreviated in Halkett & Lang

[Shiner, Elaine P.]

I looked up a title in Halkett & Lang,, and found it, and the author is recorded as “J. Castley, of Jesus College, Cambridge.”  Unfortunately, I can’t find evidence of a J. Castley; however, there is evidence of a T.  (Thomas) Castley, who looks likely to be the author, although I can’t prove it.

H. and L. cites their authority for the attribution as “Brit. Crit. ii 255”  There is a list of authorities at the beginning of v.1, but no list of abbreviations, so I looked at every item on the list, and can’t find a likely candidate.  Does anyone know what”Brit. Crit.” refers to?

Thanks for any help,

Elaine Shiner
