Usage

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections and on talk pages to format quotations from Alexander Mansfield Burrill's work The New Law Dictionary (1st edition, 1850–1851, 2 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

• Volume I (A–GUI; pages 1–552; archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume II (GUI–ZYG and glossaries; pages 553–1099; archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1=, |part=, or |volume= – mandatory: the volume or part number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |part=I or |part=II.
• |chapter= – if quoting from the preface, specify |chapter=Preface.
• |2= or |entry= – the entry or headword in the work to be quoted from. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry. By default, the template capitalizes the value assigned to the parameter. To turn off the default formatting for the purpose of specifying a different formatting using wikitext markup and templates, specify |noformat=1 or |noformat=yes.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.

• |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) to be quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. When referring to a passage that spans both columns, either omit this parameter or use an en dash like this: |columns=1–2.
• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
• |nodot= – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use |nodot=1 or |nodot=yes.

Examples

  • {{R:Burrill Law Dictionary|volume=II|page=787|column=2|passage=A limited amount of money or property which a son or servant was allowed to have, separate from the accounts or stocks of his father or master;{{nb...}}|nodot=yes}} (when used in the entry peculium); or
