About This Item
Folkestone, Kent: Dawsons of Pall Mall, 1974. With a list of the more important Ruskiniana. Compiled by Thomas J. Wise and James P. Smart. Edited by T. J. Wise. In two volumes. [Facsimile edition]. Pp. xxviii+330(last blank)+xii+264(last blank), frontispiece portrait, 2 decorative headpieces, appendices, additional notes, errata, general index; small cr. 4to; navy cloth, spines lettered in gilt, the boards of Volume I faintly scuffed, a couple of the fore-corners a trifle bruised; dust wrappers, faintly soiled, edges lightly creased and split; a couple of pages slightly creased; Dawsons of Pall Mall, Folkestone, Kent, 1974. Second reprint. *Originally issued in 19 parts from 1889 to 1893, then bound in two volumes for subscribers, in a limited edition of 250, in 1893. The cancel leaves issued to replace the original pages 41 to 44 in Part II are also included here, which is why there are 2 sections paginated 41-44 in the present Volume I. Wise 'legitimized' some of his Ruskin forgeries by including them in this 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'.
