Luke-warm on question of reprinting Tyrwhitt's minor works - many of his conjectures have found their way into other editions, though it is true that many have not. On his own edition of Minor Poets. On PE's Heracleidae - criticises Wyttenbach. On Samuel Musgrave's collations - not at the Clarendon or in the Bodleian - perhaps in the margins of a book in his library (sold at auction in 1780). Loss of a Euripides ms. in Paris.
