  Chatterton, Thomas POEMS, SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN AT BRISTOL, BY THOMAS ROWLEY AND OTHERS, IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY; THE GREATEST PART NOW FIRST PUBLISHED FROM THE MOST AUTHENTIC COPIES, WITH AN ENGRAVED SPECIMEN OF ONE OF THE MSS.. To Which are Added, a Preface, an Introductory Account of the Several Pieces, and a Glossary.
London (The Scolar Press 1973) 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. (iv), xxvii, 307 pages.
Facsimile reprint of the 1777 first edition, second printing. (Rothschild 589; Ashley Library Catalogue Volume 10, p.75 where Wise reproduces the title page facing page 75). With a two page introductory note unique to this printing. Chatterton was born in Bristol in 1752 and died by suicide in his 17th year. Considered to be insane, he nevertheless created a series of forged poems attributed to Thomas Rowley that he claimed to have found in the muniment room of Saint Mary Redcliffe. The poems were so well executed that a great controversy arose in English literary circles as to their authenticity. This book exposes the literary fraud but, by no means, stopped the controversy.

One of 57 copies

Collins, John THE TWO FORGERS, A BIOGRAPHY OF HARRY BUXTON FORMAN & THOMAS JAMES WISE.
(New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Books) and (Aldershot): Scolar Press (1992) 8vo. quarter morocco. xiv, 317, x, (iv), followed by a 7 page pamphlet and a 2 page colophon.
First edition, one of 57 special numbered and signed copies (50 for sale) bound thus and containing additional material and available exclusively from Oak Knoll and Maggs. In an introductory note John Collins describes the additional material in this special edition as follows: (1)The life of Alfred Forman by his brother, written in 1926 but hitherto unpublished. In 1973 (Quartich Catalogue 926) Graham Pollard christened Alfred Forman the `third conspirator'. This was on the basis of his initials on the proofs of two chimerical wrappers for Morris pamphlets. Later that year, staying at Waddesdon with Graham, I upbraided him and suggested that initials on two proofs of a wrapper were an uncommonly slender thread on which to convict. Graham agreed and I think we must remove Alfred from his position as third man. (2)Alfred's previously printed sonnet AT BROWNING'S GRAVE 1899. This is without imprint: who printed it? There was a copy in the Forman sale (Sotheby's 10 April 1972, lot 200: £35) described as printed on John Dickinson paper while the B.M. copy was cited as one of five on Whatman. Our copies have only the watermark and seem therefore to be a third variant. Sold with the 1972 lot was a letter from Alfred to his nephew Maurice stating of the leaflet, `It is very scarce indeed and I have only 2 copies that I know of...'. The present bundle comprised 66 copies, and each one is meticulously costed in pencil by Maggs. (3)A colophon claiming a limitation of 50 copies, perhaps from the Browning bibliography of 1897. The fact that 64 copies were in the bundle may be thought to throw some doubt on the limitation.
