The article initially said that the library was St. James Library, but not which Library it was. It turns out that St. James Library was in fact the King's Library, housed in St. James's Palace at the time of the writing. I also added some informations about the King's Library various relocations in its associated article. Hervegirod 13:37, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- That's great. I confess that I had never investigated. Swift himself said that it was "St. James Library," and I never even considered tracking the reference. It's always good to have this kind of information. What would also be good is to find out if Le Lutrin had a similar "location" for its battle. If it does (my French is weak, but Swift was excellent at French), then the 'translation' would be a critical comment from Swift. Geogre 14:11, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
