Printed wrappers, a little chipped. A very good copy Scarce. The Huntington Library is the fortunate possessor of fifty-four of the fifty-five questioned books. The word "fortunate" is used designedly, for it now appears that what these books have lost in status as rarities is compensated for, at least in part, by their added interest as documentary evidence of a great bibliographical hoax. An important contribution to the forgeries affair in general: Tennyson's 'Bechet' (1873) is discovered to be in the forger's favourite type, and proves that Wise had sold copies of his type-facsimile of Matthew Arnold's 'Alaric at Rome' (1843) as originals.
