About this book
The contents list autograph forgeries, fakes, cases of mistaken identity and famous frauds, together with practical methods of detection. A listed chapter on famous autograph finds is described as offering personal reminiscences and experiences. The contents identify unpublished specimens of royal handwriting, covering royal personages both present and past, as the subject of another chapter.
The contents list unpublished letters of celebrated sailors and soldiers under naval and military autographs. The discussion of illustrated letters says one letter would now be worth fully £50 and suggests that some fine illustrated Thackeray letters in Mr. Frank Sabin's possession would probably be cheap at £100 each.
