Edit…ion limited to 250 copies on Dutch hand-made paper, printed by Richard Clay and Sons, Limited. See Todd 220b [for the complete set] and 221b [for the illustrations, 100 copies of which were issued separately in 1893 to supplement the bibliography]. *Two parts only of a set of 19 parts which were issued from 1889 to 1890. The work is primarily by James P. Smart, 'Wise's function being limited to the editing of commentary and the interpolating of 'new' material' [Todd]. Wise 'legitimized' some of his Ruskin forgeries by including them in his Ruskin bibliography. Barker & Collins, in A Sequel to an Inquiry [p. 135] describe this as 'the first sign of a new development: "dressing-up" a forgery by announcing its existence in print'.

Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Preface by Thomas J. Wise. With two unnumbered facsimile plates (Note: this edition seems to call for two plates replicating the first two pages of the manuscript, but the two plates in this copy both replicate the first page of the manuscript, possibly due to a publisher error). First editio…n. One of 30 copies. 47 pp. Unbound sheets, printed in black. Near fine, with a few small closed tears to pages, and occasional light soiling. Overall, a very scarce publication, with WorldCat locating only three copies. Housed in a green custom clamshell box. "Self-Communion" is a profound and soul-searching poem by Anne Brontë (Jan. 20, 1820 - May 28, 1849). In Thomas J. Wise's preface, he writes, "Self-Communion is not one of those juvenile efforts, written in a microscopic hand, which were produced in considerable numbers by Brontë children . . . The poem is, on the contrary, a mature effort. . ." Notably, a section of the poem is believed to make reference to the growing distance between Anne and her sister, Emily. Anne completed the poem in April of 1848, the same year that she finished writing her second and final novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Just one year later, at the age of 29, she passed away from tuberculosis. Thomas J. Wise (1859 - 1937) was a renowned bibliographer and book collector, whose Ashley Library was an important repository of English printed books and manuscripts. He was also a notorious forger, whose illegal activities were first exposed by John W. Carter and Henry Graham Pollard in An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets (1937).
