NOTE
The Knutsford edition of Mrs. Gaskell's works (Smith, Elder and Co., 1906, 8 vols.), edited by A. W. Ward, contained in Vols. I., III., VI., and VII. material not previously issued in book form. Further additional matter (notably a chapter of Cranford) was published by Clement Shorter in the edition of Mrs. Gaskell's works edited by him for The World's Classics. The same authority published an edition of The Life of Charlotte Brontë in 1900 (Smith, Elder) with many valuable notes. He has also issued a privately printed edition of Mrs. Gaskell's Letters on Charlotte Brontë, but this booklet, in accordance with the plan of the present volume, is not herein specifically listed. Full details of the various appearances of Gaskell miscellanea (with the exception of that last mentioned above) will be found in J. A. Green's Bibliographical Guide to the Gaskell Collection, referred to on p. 203.
