Having disposed of these, we come to a great name, that of Heppelwhite, though the spelling varies. Him and his connection with Thomas Shearer and others, responsible for the Cabinetmakers' London Book of Prices, produced in 1788, we shall have to discuss at greater length. It is sufficient here to note that Heppelwhite's book is The Cabinetmaker and Upholsterer's Guide or Repository of Designs for every Article of Household Furniture, and was published in 1788-1789, with another edition in 1794.

Last is Thomas Sheraton, the most cultivated of all the genuine furniture makers and designers. His Cabinetmaker and Upholsterer's Drawing-book dates 1791, 1793, and 1794. The Cabinet Dictionary was published 1803, and The Cabinetmaker, Upholsterer, and General Artist's Encyclopedia from 1804 to 1807.

Mr. R. S. Clouston, writing in The Connoisseur Magazine, September 1903, has drawn attention to the fact that in the Art Library of the Victoria and Albert Museum there is a collection of plates labelled ' Chippendale's Designs for Sconces, Chimney and Looking-glass frames, In the Old French Style, Adapted for Carvers and Gilders, Fashionable and Ornamental Cabinetmakers, Modellers, etc. 11 Plates. Price 7s.' There is no publisher's name, no frontispiece or letterpress, nor name of designer or engraver. These it appears were published by one J. Weale at some date before 1834, and encouraged him to a bolder venture in supposed Chippendale designs. The latter are apparently from the old copperplates of T. Johnson's book, from which he erased the name, and substituted that of T. Chippendale. He has had the audacity to alter the frontispiece, substituting for Johnson's original title an entirely new one, with Chippendale's name, and introducing himself as publisher instead of the original Robert Sayer. He published another, but different, edition in 1858-59. Students of furniture are indebted to Mr. R. S. Clouston for these instances of literary forgery. 'As far as my knowledge goes,' he writes, 'no one has ever before taken an important book, published only about eighty years previously, and reissued it as by another.' Not the least curious part of the business is that none of the writers on furniture seem to have noticed the last two publications, and only Mr. J. A. Heaton the first, and he, as Mr. Clouston points out, was deceived.
