New Castle Oak Knoll Press 2007 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover, dust jacket 362 pages
First edition. Long before the establishment of public libraries in America, during the Colonial period and the early decades of the new Republic, thousands of "social" or membership libraries served as the primary venues for the circulation of books. This collection of sixteen essays represents the first attempt to provide, through individual histories of the largest surviving membership libraries, a composite portrait of this important movement in American library history. Although they sport different names - society library, library society, mercantile library, mechanics' institute, athenaeum - all of the institutions have played a significant role in the intellectual and cultural lives of their communities, which range from Boston, New York, and Charleston to Cincinnati, San Francisco, and La Jolla. Some continue to serve as the central library in their city, whereas others resemble large, independent research institutions. Each chapter in this book is intended to stand alone, and yet collectively these essays should suggest the evolution of a particular kind of American library during the past three centuries. Each chapter contains multiple full-color illustrations of the library it describes. Richard Wendorf is the Stanford Calderwood Director and Librarian of the Boston Athenaeum. Among his recent books are The Scholar-Librarian (Oak Knoll Press, 2005), After Sir Joshua (Yale University Press, 2005), and Sir Joshua Reynolds: The Painter in Society (Harvard University Press and the National Portrait Gallery, London, 1996). He is currently completing a study of printing conventions in England and America during the eighteenth century.

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.
