100p. + Facsimiles. Original full paper covered boards binding. Slipcase. Soiled. First edition. One of only 100 copies, without the Bibliophile insignias, privately printed for Charles E. Goodspeed, as a part of the purchase price of the manuscript material contained in the book. In 1847 Charles Dickens published a pamphlet calling on ''fallen women'' to enter a Home established by his friend Bar oness Burdett-Coutts. For many years this pamphlet was unseen by Dickens collectors and some doubt was expressed as to its very existence. Then, in 1928, Charles E. Goodspeed purchased from the last secretary of the Baroness a copy of the pamphlet together with several letters from a correspondence relating to the home and, in particular, to the efforts of Charles Dickens on behalf of a Miss Caroline Maynard Thompson. These items were purchased from Mr. Goodspeed by the Bibliophile Society. The text of the pamphlet is reprinted here, along with that of the letters. VERY SCARCE **PRICE JUST REDUCED! JUN 1 W34
