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.

First edition. Todd 186a. *Carter & Pollard stressed the importance of these volumes: 'Books with which we are dealing figure fairly prominently in every one of these bibliographical studies, as may be seen by the frequent references throughout the present work, and the authoritative acceptance and description of them in a publication of this kind undoubtedly played a large part in establishing them in the eyes of the literary and collecting world' [Carter & Pollard (Enquiry), pp. 135/6]. For example, 20 pages in Volume II are devoted to Elizabeth Barrett Browning and her Scarcer Books, with the so-called 'Reading' edition of the Sonnets featured prominently, including a plate showing the title page of 'a copy of the rare original in the Library of Mr. Clement K.

Condizione: 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 edition. 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).…
