B4/14 was once in an envelope (C4/25) with C4/15–16 and probably other items in B4 and C4. The MS of pages for a ‘Reader’s Guide to Shakespeare’ (B4/18) were found at the back of those for ‘The Elements of Bibliography’ (B5/4), and B4/9 was found with the offprints of articles, etc. (B6–8).

The compositions grouped under this head are somewhat miscellaneous. Some of them were probably written for publication, but none appears in the list of McKerrow’s published works, and there is no reason to think that any found their way into print, except the contribution to the Encyclopedia Britannica (B4/9). The essays are handwritten unless stated otherwise.
