Carter, John, and Graham Pollard, AN ENQUIRY INTO THE NATURE OF CERTAIN NINETEENTH CENTURY PAMPHLETS, London: Constable Co. Ltd., 1934. 1st ed. red cloth hardcover, 8vo (8.625 x 5.375?), t.e.g., very good / n.a, xii, 400pp. Sans the dust-jacket, erased previous owner?s signature on front paste-down, a stain of some sort on the back board. This is the one. The book that exposed Thomas J. Wise (7 October 1859 ? 13 May 1937): author, bibliophile, bookseller and thief - and his prolific forgery scheme. A very successful scheme one must add - in that despite this expose, he was never prosecuted; despite having stolen immense amounts of capital from unsuspecting clients who saw his credentials and integrity as unimpeachable.
