Evidence:

George Grote to G. C. Lewis, 21 October 1858 'The day before yesterday I got Donaldson's book, the completion of Muller's "Greek Literature." I have only had time to turn over the pages; but, as far as I can judge from this cursory view, it appears a truly learned and comprehensive work. I think it will be a great addition to every classical library.'
