"There have been as great Souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous."  —Benjamin Franklin (as quoted in an article on his sister Jane by Jill Lepore in the latest New Yorker)

Hey Lal: Is there supposed to be a "many" between "as" and "great" in the Franklin quote?

Not as it's printed in this week's New Yorker. I think that's just the way those old feckers spoke and wrote.
