Additional Comments:
Additional editor Arthur Pollard. Letter to W.S. Williams- out of the date sequence of the rest of the volume as found at a late stage in the publication process. Work could also have been 'English Women of Letters', also published 1862; Gaskell had expressed an interest in Kavanagh's volume on French writers because she (Gaskell) was writing on Madame de Sevigne.
