Dear McKerrow

The Introduction to Bibliography has just arrived and I have to thank you very much for it. It makes a larger volume than I had anticipated. Of course it will be of immense value, & the only drawback I see is that one will no longer have any excuse for ignorance respecting what I once named the Elements of Bibliography.

Ever yours
W. W. Greg
