Abstract
When Sir Thomas Phillipps died in 1872, the Athenaeum was fulsome in its obituary for him. Not only was he ‘the greatest book collector of modern times’; he was also a ‘great scholar’ – ‘one of the most learned men of the age.’ All in all, ‘there never was such a collector since the world began.’ This obituary was all the more remarkable for having being written by his son-in-law, J. O. Halliwell, from whom he had been bitterly estranged for almost 30 years.
