Abstract
An account of an exchange of letters in 1917 between the bibliographer, Thomas J. Wise, and Bradford's City Librarian, Butler Wood, concerning the compilation of A Bibliography of the Writings in Prose and Verse of the Members of the Brontë Family (1917) edited by Wise. Wood, the Bibliographical Secretary of the Brontë Society, compiled an earlier bibliography in 1895 and carried out research for Wise. Despite Wise's later fall from grace, the two men had a high regard for each other at this time. This exchange of correspondence gives an interesting insight into the process of bibliographical research at that time, the result of which has been of lasting value. A few other letters are also featured.
