 On Defending John Payne Collier
Collier was then "acclaimed as the foremost literary scholar of his generation, the author of more than forty books, the first historian of English drama, and a preeminent editor of Shakespeare." (1)
The case against Collier, which proves to have been fabricated by Sir Frederic Madden of the British Library, depended on some pencil marks claimed to have underlain a few of the inked annotations.
Ok, this aside, the case against Collier fails because it can be proven that the 20,000 or so emendations, revisions and annotations in the Perkins folio were there when Collier purchased the volume.

 GN Online: Men who faked the Bard's tales
Ireland's work, along with 19th-century fakes by the troubled English scholar John Payne Collier and a small orgy of other guilty pleasures — paintings that have been retouched and books that have been added to, emended or "repaired,'' — form the core of the Folger Shakespeare Library's delightful exhibition Fakes, Forgeries and Facsimiles.
Collier was a respected literary scholar and historian, but with a bad habit of inserting his own material into books like The History of English Dramatic Poetry, which he published in 1831.
The full extent of Collier's literary chicanery — which included tampering with and adding to historical documents — is still not known.

Collier goes on to record the variants among the three versions of the poem--two manuscript and one printed.
As Collier notes, when he showed the Salisbury copy to Coleridge, Coleridge recognized the hand of the copyist--although Collier does not record Coleridge's comments on the copyist.

 The Stratfordian Libel of John Payne Collier
Not surprisingly because it was Collier who found evidence that suggested that the Author of Shakespeare's plays had survived until at least 1634 or eighteen years after William Shakespeare, the actor from Stratford died.
It concludes---contrary to the judgment of the last century---that Collier was probably innocent of the charges against him and that his accusers knew he was innocent.
During the century and a half since that time, the ink that Collier mixed would have aged at its own rate and an easily discernable difference between the original emendations or Perkins signature and Collier's alleged forgeries would now be easy to spot.

 Shakespearean Scholars
Certainly the most infamous of all Shakespearean scholars, Collier published books on his theories between 1835 and 1850.
There are those who believe that Collier forged even more documents than were discovered at the time, and that they still might be in circulation, and regarded as authentic.
[According to John Aubrey] "William Shakespeare's father was a butcher, and I have been told heretofore by some of the neighbours, that when he was a boy, he exercised his father's trade; but when he killed a calfe, he would do it in a high style, and make a speech.

Under this last proprietor John Payne Collier was librarian, and the present description of the collection is somewhat abbreviated because of his printed volumes: (1) A Catalogue, Bibliographical and Critical, of Early English Literature; a Portion of the Library at Bridgewater House (1837); and (2) Egerton Papers, edited for the Camden Society in 1840.
The founder and his wife were both patrons of letters, and so from the latter part of the sixteenth century a considerable flow of presentation copies, dedications, and complimentary verses began to make the family collections of high significance.
This was formed by John Larpent (1741-1824), who was in November, 1778, appointed [PAGE 50] inspector of plays by the Marquis of Hertford, then Lord Chamberlain.
