With some Observations and a Bibliographical Note by William Andrews Clark, Jr. Frontispiece by William Wilke. Together with a facsimile of the "Reading" sonnets. 250 copies for private distribution. A very fine copy (the box is usually broken) of this handsome book printed by John Henry Nash. The story of the "Reading" sonnets and Mr. Wise is too well known to be documented here, but it is ironic to think that William Andrews Clark paid good money to produce a facsimile of a forgery.
