Lachmann and some early Tischendorf were likely, but definitely not
Tregelles, which came later, during the 1870s as I recall.

I did not mention the point, but certainly I would also concur that Hort
had studied few if any MSS by age 23, but then, most seasoned
textual critics of that era also had not worked with actual MSS in any
great quantity, since there were no MSS and few reliable complete
collations.  Tischendorf was the first to really begin presentation of
diplomatic evidence, followed by the massive labors of Scrivener in the
1850s.
