Item description from seller

from The Times Literary Supplement, Friday October 19, 1956. One, possibly an editorial, titled T. J. Wise again, notes the British Museum's disclosure that week of the purchase price of the Ashley Library ('a3 66,000), and comments on Foxon's preliminary findings of Wise's vandalisation of copies of pre-Restoration plays held by the British Museum. In the larger article, Another skeleton in Thomas J. Wise's cupboard, Foxon reveals what was known of the vandalism at that date and ends with an appeal for information: 'I would therefore be most grateful to hear of made-up copies which may have come from Wise, especially of plays in the list below . . . leaves are only said to be stolen in cases where the evidence for this is clear'. Foxon later revealed more about Wise's appropriation of leaves from various 18th century poems from the British Museum in an article in the Times Literary Supplement for 24 January, 1958.
