1934 An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

Written by John Carter and Graham Pollard, the work is noted as uncovering the vast amounts of forged privately printed and "pre-first" books and pamphlets that were held in the then-reputable library of Thomas J. Wise, including works by Dickens, Tennyson and the Brownings. A fascinating volume, the work is considerably involved, and brought about revisions in bibliographies the world over. Direct from the library of the late Hugh Selbourne MD (1906-1973), a noted book collector and diarist. Complete with original price-clipped dustwrapper.
