<head1>H. Buxton Forman (1842-1917)

Forman is now recognized as the equally active, if more shadowy partner of the most notorious of late nineteenth-century forgers, <Thomas J. Wise>. Their activities are largely discussed in the main note on <forgery> and, in greater detail, in the publication histories for <Leoni> and<Scythian Guest>. In the present note, some biographical details relevant to Ruskin scholarship is discussed; for more extensive biography, readers should consult Collins, <Two Forgers>.
