Forgeries by Thomas J. Wise
Among the forgeries by T. J. Wise and H. B. Forman are the following
Stevenson items. Except for the genuine offprint of On the thermal influence
of forests (the genuine version differs from the forgery in stating ‘From the
Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh . . .’ on the cover), Scribner’s
sheets of Ticonderoga by F. Warne & Co (London 1887 for English copyright,
Harvard), and a reprint of Ticonderoga that RLS had made for King Kalakaua
of Hawaii in 1889 (printer’s duplicate, Harvard), none of these items was ever
issued separately during Stevenson’s lifetime. See J. Carter and G. Pollard, An
enquiry into the nature of certain nineteenth-century pamphlets,
1934, 2nd edn 1983, and N. Barker and J. Collins, A sequel to an enquiry . . .,
1983.
