An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets

Carter (John) and Graham Pollard.   Four plates Constable & Co Ltd, London; Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York,  1934 First Edition     Very nice copy in dust-wrapper which is a little frayed and discoloured at the spine panel; with an obituary of Wise from The Times mounted on the front pastedown  Loosely inserted are a number of relevant press cuttings, including a contemporary review by John Hayward, and D.F. Foxon’s 1956 article on the previously undetected mutilation of books in the British [Museum] Library in order to enhance those in Wise’s Ashley Library. Some of these cuttings bear manuscript dates in a hand very like that of Michael Sadleir.
