The "Selected Works by William Ellery Channing" in Library of the World's Best Literature is attributed to the wrong Channing in the catalog.

In the catalog, the selection is currently attributed to the nephew (William Ellery Channing II (1818-1901): https://librivox.org/author/13469?primary_key=13469&search_category=author&search_page=1&search_form=get_results.

The selected works should be attributed to the older William Ellery Channing (1780-1842): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ellery_Channing. There is currently no entry for the older Channing in the catalog.

I am pointing this out because the Short Nonfiction Collection, Vol. 103 will be adding yet another Channing to the catalog, William Francis Channing (known as William F. Channing), 1820-1901. William Francis Channing was the son of the older William Channing.
