Publication of Septem. Knows little about the comic writers. Abuse of Mr (Edmund?) Barker and Dr (Samuel) Parr. Mild criticism of Gaisford. Hostile remarks re Butler.

Thomas Gaisford to Peter Elmsley
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.
