Limited edition of 525 copies. Cloth, gilt cover device, top edge gilt, 8vo, xii, 38, [1] pp, 25 plates, some folding, some in red and black. In 1934 Carter & Pollard's 'An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets" had sensationally shown the involvement of Thomas James Wise in a slew of forged or pirated works by leading 19th century authors, but they had lacked evidence to establish the involvement of any co-forger. That finally appeared in Ratchford's 'Between the Lines', which published the now famous 'Pforzheimer document' - an exchange of correspondence between Wise and Harry Buxton Forman conclusively demoinstrating their guilt. From the introductory section, 'The packet Opened' : "The present bundle of papers bought by Mr. Carl H. Pforzheimer at the sale of the library of H. Buxton Forman, Part III, changes somewhat and considerably enlarges Carter and Pollard's 1934 pattern of "Certain Nineteenth Century Forgeries." Reciting the life history of "The Building of the Idylls," from research notes to published essay, the papers establish Forman's authorship of this peculiarly interesting "study in Tennyson." At the same time they add documentary proof to earlier circumstantial accusation of Wise as forger and bring into startling relief Forman's complicity in the crime." An attractive volume, designed by Bruce Rogers. Pinhead hole to spine, otherwise Very Good in a slipcase which is a little torn at the edges.
