Willcock link

I removed this link: (Book at Internet Archive) -- although it's a good source, and one of the few works on Urquhart, this is an uncorrected OCR, so full of errors that it's unreadable and almost unintelligible. I hope someday they get around to redoing it. PRiis 23:32, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Then ignore the OCR; the DjVu files are copies of the images and are just fine.--Prosfilaes 19:54, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The linked lecture is superb. Thanks to whoever linked it. 76.27.232.185 (talk) 19:55, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Appearance in historical fiction

There's another appearance I am a little dubious about mentioning, because it involves a spoiler... the character is introduced only as "Sir Thomas", and it is only after he names his ancestors back to Adam, talks about his scheme for a universal language, and makes some other extravagant claims that the sufficiently knowlegable (or Google-skillful) reader will figure out who he is. Do y'all reckon said novel should be mentioned here? --Jim Henry 00:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
