Grosart

Sir: Let no printer's errors mar Grosart's memory now that P. J. Kavanagh and I have laboured to restore it (Letters, 13 September). Grosart edited and published not 30 but over 300 volumes of English poetry and prose. And he was praised as 'Prince of Editors' not by the Electric Review but, more appropriately, by the Eclectic Review.
