Notes: The first of the Burgeon books, and the only one to actually be published under this pseudonym, in which Barfield draws upon his work as a solicitor, and divides his consciousness into Burgeon and Burden (partners in a firm) in order to discuss various philosophical problems encountered in the profession - including, in Chapter VI, a case involving Lewis.
