200 items (dispersed).

To complement the Library's important holdings of Elizabeth Gaskell manuscripts, there is available a significant collection of printed items which includes all of Sadleir's comparative scarcities, and all of the items for which he gives full bibliographical descriptions, save for the 1850 New York edition of Lizzie Leigh¹ and the 1850 Manchester pamphlet The Sexton's Hero.

Not recorded by Sadleir but available in Manchester are the 1840 Clopton Hall, the 1858 New York edition of My Lady Ludlow and the 1860 edition of Right at Last. Many of the volumes contain the author's own inscriptions and notes.
