Extract

The St. Andrews University Library manuscript 36326, containing correspondence addressed to W. M. Lindsay, chiefly on the subjects of Latin palaeography and textual criticism, preserves two communications from Housman, previously unpublished. The first (no. 202, ii) was written in 1901 in the form of a postcard, the second is a letter of 1903 (202, i). I present them as an addendum to The letters of A. E. Housman, ed. H. Maas (London, 1971) and his ‘Additions and Corrections to The letters of A.E. Housman’, Housman Society Journal 2 (1975) 33-5.
