2. Letter from R. B. McKerrow to W. Bang, July 6, 1914
Brook Green,
Hammersmith, W.
6 July 1914
I am sending you a little sermon on the importance of bibliography to editors of Eliz. lit (reprinted from the Bibliographical Soc.'s Transactions), which may perhaps interest you. Strictly speaking I ought not to send it out yet [next parenthetical phrase interlined] (though it was printed months ago) as the vol. from which it is "reprinted" has not been issued yet, but I do so because if I delay any longer you will be on your holiday. If you have time to look at it, I should be very much obliged if you could give me the names of any people—say 6 or 8—whom you think it might interest. I have a number of free copies to give away, & am anxious to send them where they might be useful. I am sending one to De Vocht, and shall later send copies to all those of your "Materialists" who have edited texts. You may, however, know some students of this side of the subject whose names I have not come across.
If the book seems likely to be of any use I hope later to do something more elaborate on the same subject.
