Thackeray as might be expected was a bit affronted at what he viewed as a slanderous insult by this fellow member of the Garrick Club; believing much of Yates' information came from club meetings he took his grievance to the club committee. The committee sided with Thackeray and instructed Yates to apologize; Yates refused & was forcibly barred from club premises subsequently bringing charges against the club Secretary. Dickens absent from London as this brouhaha was brewing returned to find all in full force. He offered to mediate though primarily siding with Yates which Thackeray viewed as treachery. The ill feelings between the two did not abate for years until shortly before Thackeray's death in 1863. Herein Yates recounts the history & evidence of the disagreement with not unexpectedly a bias to his own case. This copy presented to Edward Bradley presumed to be the Victorian novelist who wrote under the pen name Cuthbert M. Bede.

A dark force from which the real people must escape in order to create another society of their own Dickens had been preparing for this novel all his life and despite the calamities which had helped to provoke it in the first place was even happy while he was writing it It might even be said that Bleak House cured the very malaise which was responsible for its composition" Ackroyd 649-50.

In Little Dorrit Dickens mounts his single most ferocious onslaught against England and English society; against its government against its financiers against its artists and even against its ordinary citizens who at least in Bleeding Heart Yard believed that .foreigners were always immoral. that foreigners had no independent spirit." Ackroyd 758. Perhaps unsurprisingly many reviewers reviled the book upon its publication. Dickens' friend Hans Christian Andersen advised the author to ignore the critics: "They are forgotten in a week and your book stands and lives" Ackroyd 780. And indeed Little Dorrit does: not only a commercial success in its day poor press notwithstanding but also esteemed now as a "wonderfully rich novel-- rich in ideas rich in characterization rich in incident and written in a richly imaginative prose. Many modern critics regard it as Dickens' masterpiece" Watts 108. Bradbury and Evans unknown books
184096034London: Chapman and Hall 1840. First edition of this collection of short stories which originally appeared as a weekly periodical of the same name. Large octavo 3 volumes bound into one in three quarters morocco by Riviere & Son with gilt titles and tooling to the spine raised gilt bands red morocco spine label double gilt ruled gilt turn ins all edges gilt marbled endpapers three engraved frontispieces illustrated by George Cattermole and Hablot Browne. From the library of legendary aviator Steve Fossett with his bookplate to the pastedown. In near fine condition with light rubbing to the extremities. Master Humphrey's Clock originally appeared in the form of a weekly periodical published between April of 1840 and December of 1841. Entirely written and edited by Dickens the magazine included both short stories and two novels The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge. Many of the short stories acted as frame stories to the novels and although Dickens' original artistic intent was to keep the short stories and the novels together he himself cancelled Master Humphrey's Clock before 1848 and described in a preface to The Old Curiosity Shop that he wished the story to not be tied down to the miscellany it began within. Most later anthologies published the short stories and the novels separately. However the short stories and the novels were published in 1840 in three bound volumes under the title Master Humphrey's Clock which retains the full and correct ordering of texts as they originally appeared.
