A Further Inquiry into the Guilt of Certain Nineteenth-Century Forgers
by Fannie E. Ratchford.
Alfred A. Knopf, New York: 1944, first edition
591 pages plus index
Very good condition, overall
Ratchford's book proved beyond doubt the guilt
of Thomas J. Wise as a
literary forger and implicated the distinguished men of letters, H.
Buxton Forman and Sir Edmund Gosse and thus becomes a necessary
supplement to Carter and Pollard's "An Enquiry Into the Nature of
Certain 19th Century Pamphlets." It is a stated First Edition, 1944.
