LETTERS OF THOMAS J. WISE TO JOHN HENRY WRENN, 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.
