Three-quarter tan calf & marbled boards with gilt elaborate decorations in gilt and raised bands on the spine as well as a gilt titled red leather label.

Browne "Phiz" including a frontispiece and an additional pictorial title page. A couple of signatures i.e. group of pages are lightly pulled. There is scattered foxing particularly in the margins of the plates. Good. <p>"First edition with all but one of the first issue points. The first issue points present in this copy of the book are as follows: a The errata leaf following page xvi has 2 lines; an inserted errata slip has 12 lins. b The title vignette and the illustration following page 238 erroneously have Capt. Cuttle's hook on his left arm; c On the "List of Plates" on page xv the frontis and the title vignette have no page entry; d Further on page xv line 2 there are no quotation marks around the words "the party"; e Ten lines up from the bottom on page 14 there is no apostrophe in the word "aint"; f On page 26 line 11 the word "fidgety" is mis-spelled "fidgetty"; g On page 40 lines 16-17 the words "shewed' and "shew" are printed for "showed" and "show"; h On page 284 five and six lines up from the bottom the word "Delight" replaces the word "Joy"; i On page 324 in the last line the word "Captain" is mis-spelled "Capatin"; j On page 426 line 9 the word "if" is not present; k On page 582 the last line lacks a period. The only later issue point we have been able to determine is that the page number "431" is present on that page.<p>The "dark plate" by Phiz "On the Dark Road" is in superb condition with minor foxing in the margins. "According to Valerie Lester Browne this was Phiz's first attempt at a classic 'dark plate' in this case to show the futility of the villainous Carker's trying to cheat death as he makes his way through France to Paris and thence to England. If he cannot escape Dombey on the Continent where he fears Dombey can easily hire assassins he rationalizes that it would be better to confront Dombey in a country less lawless. The March 1848 illustration moreover engages the viewer with the sharpness and vivacity of the figures and the prancing horses horses having been from his earliest compositions one of Phiz's strengths." - quoted from The Victorian Web.

Near Fine. ″The Household Narrative of Current Events was a twopenny monthly retrospect of national international news and other information published from April 1850 to December 1855 including numbers for January †March 1850 … It aimed to extend the scope of the main journal in new directions making the suite of publications a complete cheap and widely available compendium to the life of the times<br /> An advertisement for the Narrative called it 'a complete and carefullyâ€digested ANNUAL REGISTER′ indicating Dickens′s hope that in its bound volume form it would emulate Burke and Dodsley′s famous Annual Register … of History Politicks and Literature which he himself found so useful as a reference work for his journalism and historical fiction Dickens′s frontâ€page announcement of the new venture reminded readers of 'the intimate connexion between the facts and realities of the time and the means by which we aim in Household Words to soften what is hard in them to exalt what is held in little consideration and to show the latent hope there is in what may seem unpromising′ The Narrative would thereby be another means 'to bear the world′s rough cast events to the anvil of courageous duty and there beat them into shape′ If the Victorian reporter is often figured as Asmodeus the strange compound metaphor here casts the Victorian editor as Vulcan<br /> The Narrative′s nine subdivisional headings †'Parliament and Politics′ 'Law and Crime′ 'Accident and Disaster′ 'Social Sanitary and Municipal Progress′ 'Obituaries Colonies and Dependencies′ 'Foreign Events′ 'Commercial Record′ 'Stocks and Shares′ and 'Emigration Figures′ †clearly signalled a continuation of the special interest shown by Household Words in all these topics presented in a more regimented heavily factual and statistical format To the extent that it provided the kind of corroborative detail and data on which the parent magazine based its arguments and reform campaigns the Narrative acted as a guarantor of the integrity of opinion in Household Words″ Courtesy Dickens Journals Online<br /> <br /> This set contains the entire publication run from January 1850 to December 1855<br /> <br /> The books are one of several of our Dickens-related listings all originally from a private estate library All are uniformly bound in fancy threeâ€quarter crimson leather with deep red marbled paper for endpapers and over the balance of the boards Gilt all around The materials used for the bindings date the binding to around 1890 and the bookplate of Julius Franke 1868â€1936 is present on the front pastedown Franke was a prominent New York City architect whose work included designing the Wurlitzer Building and it seems likely that he commissioned the bindings <br /> This volumes shows only slight shelfwear The bindings and text block are sound The pages are age toned but clean The ink name "Baker" is at the top of a flyleaf in each volume but there are no other marks or damage.

1844ST11462a-098London: Smith Elder and Co 1844. FIRST EDITION. 200 x 124 mm. 7 7/8 x 4 7/8". Two volumes. <br/> Very attractive contemporary cadet blue three-quarter morocco over pale blue watered silk raised bands spines handsomely gilt in compartments with floral sprig centerpiece and volute cornerpieces marbled endpapers top edges gilt. With 10 engraved portraits. ◆Top inch of silk on one board faded by sun one plate with closed one-inch fore-edge tear not affecting image other minor internal imperfections but A VERY PRETTY SET especially fresh and clean inside and out and with bindings that are remarkably bright.<br/> <br/> Poet Richard Hengist Horne 1802-84 patterned this collection of critical essays about contemporary writers after the acclaimed collection of essays "Spirit of the Age; or Contemporary Portraits" published by his idol William Hazlitt in 1825. Among the writers included in the work were Dickens the Brownings Mrs. Browning is given credit for contributing at least one of the chapters Mrs. Shelley Wordsworth Mrs. Trollope Tennyson and Hunt there are 25 essays in all in the work some of them dealing with more than one figure. Few were pleased by what they read; according to DNB the book "elicited a deluge of abuse from its victims and Horne naïvely surprised decamped hastily on a tour of Germany." Dickens however was either more forgiving or more flattered and subsequently employed Horne as a reporter for the "Daily News" for which he covered the Irish famine in 1846 and later as a sub-editor of "Household Words." In any case the work provides a useful survey of the period's literary scene and our copy is in uncommonly handsome bindings. Smith, Elder and Co unknown
