"This catalogue of the Sumner Collection, a work involving much laborious research, was entirely made by me, with the assistance of Miss Anne Eliza Hutchins and Miss K.V. Smith, in 1876 and the early part of 1877, before Mr. Winsor came to Harvard College Library. Mr. Winsor had nothing whatever to do with it."
