Just a sidenote.. thanks for the reminder, Bryan..
Classification Web is a paid subscription site.. (small sigh)..
Here's the subscription information.. http://www.loc.gov/cds/classweb/
Not awful pricing, but beyond the reach of most solo classification
researchers or users..
I do wish it were open (source) to all..
Best,
DrWeb

He who is of calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age,
but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a
burden.
