I've just added a new entry on a late eighteenth-century pamphlet based on its original publication details. However, as Cornell University has made a scanned version of this pamphlet available online is it enough to mention this fact in the description, with a link to the scanned version, or should the latter be treated as a new edition?

The book concerned is Report of the trial of Richard Maher, of the City of Waterford, Esq. M.D. for high treason and disaffection to the king and constitution, before a general court-martial, held at Waterford, in June, 1798.

Mod

It doesn't belong in the description field, actually. Among other issues, external links don't belong there.

OK, and I note you've changed the description as a result. I had put the link into the URL box originally but then thought it should only apply in the case of an electronic edition.
