| Abstract: |
The Bruce Garland collection of Thomas Wise material comprises approximately 1.6 linear feet of material pertaining to English
bibliographer, book collector, and forger Thomas J. Wise (1859-1937). Much of the collection's material was compiled by English
bibliographer and book collector John Carter (1905-1975), who co-authored with Graham Pollard (1903-1976) An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets (1934), which effectively outed Wise as a forger. The collection contains correspondence, including original correspondence
of Wise's, manuscripts, page proofs, galley proofs, auction catalogs, clippings, scrapbooks, periodicals and articles, and
ephemera.
