Carter, John and Graham Pollard - The Firm of Charles Ottley, Landon & Co. : Footnote to an Enquiry
London / New York, Rupert Hart-Davis / Charles Scribner, 1948. First Edition. Softcover. Size: 12mo 7" - 7. Part of this monograph was to be read as a paper contributed to the Bibliographic Society, it being a piercing, engrossing chapter in the bibliography of forgery, being focused on several forgeries of pamphlets alleged to have been written and published by Swinburne but that were proved, in "An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphelts," to have been forged. Two bibliographers at the top of their game, here, and the footnotes are just as fascinating to read as the text. Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) was an influential English author. Charles Ottley, Landon and Co. was an imaginary organization. Sturdy, still tightly bound softcover copy, bound in printed blue softpaper wraps, minor wear of covers, less to text-block, but with neither underlining nor highlighting. Perfectly readable, usable copy. Introduction and a Preface and then essays on "The Four Pamphlets," "The Official Story Examined," "The Redway Editions of A Word For the Navy," "Wise and the Redway Editions," plus conclusions and chronology. Three plates in black-and-white. 95 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Very Good
