The List

Here follows the works included in Dr.Elliots colection.
Titles in green are those of which I already possess a physical copy.  Entries suffixed by a volume number indicate a volume in the Harvard Classics which contains numerous shorter works, papers and essay.  Such volumes will be researched in due course and I will source as many original texts as I can.
