A number of minor errata have been noted in The World Rejoicing by Edward Gregson. Although great care is always taken in typesetting, editing and proofing, in a work of this length and complexity a few will inevitably slip through the net! Fortunately these are all minor, mostly changes of accidental or articulation. Nonetheless we are of course always disappointed when ANY get through, and apologise for any inconvenience caused.
