One of just 100 copies on fine paper. Uncut in original printed boards, lightly worn. Fine. London 1886. 8vo. viii + xii + 62 pp. + 8 pp. (advertisments). Thomas James Wise (1859-1937) was a bibliophile who collected the Ashley Library, now housed by the British Library, and later became known for the literary forgeries and stolen documents that were resold or authenticated by him. He parlayed his international reputation as a collector of books and an exposer of forgers and forgeries into a career in creating and selling forgeries himself. Wise privately printed nearly 300 works of English authors, some of which were debunked as forgeries by Carter and Pollard ("An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets", 1934). This proved that a large number of rare first edition pamphlets from 19th century authors which depended solely on Wise's published works for their authenticity were fakes. Wise and fellow bibliophile Harry Buxton Forman had been involved in the fabrication and sale of many of the same pamphlets to collectors; their crimes are generally regarded as one of the most notorious literary scandals of the twentieth century. Shortly after Wise's death his Library was sold to the British Museum by his widow for £66,000. The works were compared with the British Museum's former collection at which point it was discovered that over 200 book leaves were missing and 89 of these matching leaves were found in the Wise volumes.
