(Forgery) Rosenblum, Joseph. PRINCE OF FORGERS.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 1998 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 200 pages
First English translation of the 1870 edition. On a cold, damp day in February 1870, the Correctional Tribunal of Paris sentenced Vrain-Denis Lucas to prison for forging and selling over 27,000 historical letters to many of France's leading collectors. The sensational trial exposed the most colossal literary fraud ever perpetrated. The trial revealed that for 19 years Lucas created fake literary masterpieces, mostly letters to and from famous or historical figures, and profited greatly from it.
At first, Lucas used quills, inks, papers, and styles of writing used by historical French authors. As the years passed and his forgeries were accepted into the foremost collections in the nation, his ego got the best of him. The versatility, industry, and knowledge displayed earlier by Lucas was beginning to enter the realm of incongruity. When he produced a host of letters written by Mary Magdelene to Lazarus, Cleopatra to Caesar, Pompey to Cato, in French no less, and boldly sold them to one of France's leading collectors, Lucas's shameless audacity reached new heights.
This edition is the first English translation of the rare French title, UNE FABRIQUE DE FAUX AUTOGRAPHES, OU RECIT DE L'AFFAIRE VRAN LUCAS (Paris 1870) by Henri Bordier and Emile Mabille. With a new introduction by Joseph Rosenblum, this fascinating book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of literary forgeries, manuscripts, autographs, and the drama of fools and scoundrels. This is truly an incredible story of the "Prince of Forgers." Illustrated.

(Wise, Thomas J.) Barker, Nicolas and John Collins A SEQUEL TO AN ENQUIRY INTO THE NATURE OF CERTAIN 19TH CENTURY PAMPHLETS.
New Castle Oak Knoll Press and London: The Scolar Press (1992) 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 394 pages.
Reprint of the first edition. The forgeries of Thomas James Wise, disclosed in 1934 in John Carter and Graham Pollard's AN ENQUIRY INTO THE NATURE OF CERTAIN NINETEENTH CENTURY PAMPHLETS is perhaps the most notorious literary scandal of this century. Wise, a bibliographer and book collector with the highest international reputation, was revealed to be the perpetrator of a stream of forgeries of minor works by major nineteenth century authors. The sensational exposure of Wise led to further discoveries, most notably that he had acted not alone but in collusion with Harry Buxton Forman, the distinguished editor of Keats and Shelley. The extent of the crime was clearly wider and more complicated than had been supposed when the ENQUIRYwas first published. Carter and Pollard were steadily compilling matter for a new edition of the book right up to their deaths in the mid 1970s. Their material passed to Nicolas Barker, who with John Collins undertook to complete the work. They in turn have discovered a mass of new facts.
