Housed in a custom slipcase with matching chemise.A Genuine Dickens Library Book — With Both Provenance Markers PresentEach volume's front pastedown carries:Dickens's personal bookplate: the gold lion couchant holding a Maltese cross adopted from the dormant 1625 coat of arms claimed by his father John Dickens. Though Dickens mocked social pretension in his fiction he embraced this heraldic device in his own life—using it on bookplates letterhead and household items.The 1870 Gadshill Place sales label: "From the Library of Charles Dickens Gadshill Place June 1870." This label was created specifically for the posthumous auction of Dickens's personal effects and is one of the most authoritative indicators of authentic Dickens provenance.Bibliographic & Historical Notes - Dickens's lion‑and‑cross emblem evolved over time as various engravers interpreted it differently. In 1840 Dickens clarified the design in a letter to cabinetmaker John Overs specifying that the lion should hold a Maltese cross not a cross patonce and even supplied a sketch. The bookplate seen here reflects that corrected form—one of the key identifiers used by bibliographers to authenticate volumes from his library.Provenance -This exact copy appears in:Sotheran's Price Current of Literature vols.

Master Humphrey's Clock; In Original Weekly Parts

184089477London: Chapman and Hall April 1840-November 1841. First Edition. First Printing. Large Octavo. 27cm. Complete in 88 parts in original wraps housed in a tailor-made leather Solinger box and bookcloth chemise. Prefaces and preliminary matter present in Parts 26 52 and 88. The vast majority in very good condition with some light soiling creasing or inoffensive wear; Part 7 has a split to the spine Part 17 has an amateur repair Parts 29 & 30 have closed tears to the rear wrap and Parts 12 3237 81 83 85 87 and 88 have visible soiling or shallow chipping to the wraps to some extent. The majority are internally clean and fresh and all pieces present conform to the requirements called for in Hatton & Cleaver "Periodical Works of Charles Dickens" P. 163. A significant number of the parts bear the signature of "H. Evans Esq." discreetly to the upper front wrap. A very good complete set of a very unusual Dickens periodical publication. From a publishing perspective a bit of a botched experiment although sales at points were astronomically higher than expected and from a bibliographical standpoint something of a curiosity. Master Humphrey was available in this format initially each weekly part being 16 pages and priced at threepence; weekly parts were then gathered by Chapman and Hall and combined into the more usual trimmed monthly parts; then three volumes of the weekly parts bound together with yellow endpapers and trimmed edges were followed by a slightly shorter three volume edition with marbled endpapers and edges. Eckel states "Of the four issues the weekly one is difficult to obtain in a clean condition and is therefore the costliest." It's possible the entire concept would have been a costly failure had it not been for the legendary popularity of Little Nell going viral in "The Old Curiosity Shop" which makes up one of the full length stories encased in Master Humphrey's Clock. The concept itself is charming and typically Dickensian; Master Humphrey is an elderly antiquarian who keeps old manuscripts in the belly of a long case clock and invites his friends and confidantes to come read them. The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge make up the bulk of the long form narrative accompanied by numerous short stories sketches and anecdotal digressions. There's something quite unnerving about the Victorian preoccupation with presenting everything as a communal parlour game that probably has something to do with the very things Dickens highlights; Victorian London was haves and have-nots the invited and those who had to watch the feast from the other side of the window you either conformed and joined in the games or you were outside. The cast iron social awareness of your average Victorian must have been something to behold. Complete and presentable sets of either of the parts issues are hard to come by and the tales held in Master Humphrey's Clock are probably best read in this form one slim episode after another accompanied by ads for Mechli's Leadenhall emporium.

The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby

18392259London: Chapman and Hall 1839. First edition. Very Good. Bound in the original publisher's deluxe full green morocco binding gilt titles stamped in gilt and blind yellow end papers all edges gilt. A Very Good copy with creasing and wear to the spine one short tear at the head some foxing to the plates. Armorial bookplate of Henry Gillett on the front paste-down. Bound without the half-title otherwise complete with the engraved frontis and 39 plates by Phiz. Nicholas Nickleby Dickens' third novel was originally serialized in monthly parts then issued as a book in cloth. The publishers also had a small number of copies bound up in the present morocco both for presentation - a census of copies inscribed by Dickens on publication show them all to be in the green morocco binding - and for sale to the public at a higher price. This copy with most of the issue points outlined in Smith but with a few typographical errors corrected. "Dickens' third novel has always been a favourite with the general public. Indeed it was the book's huge sales that enabled Dickens to give up parliamentary reporting and become a full-time writer.The theatricality of the novel attracted new and more appreciative critical attention and it demonstrates the inextricable link between public and private" Bannerjee. A satire tackling the injustices faced by both women and men within the Victorian class system that relied so heavily the social status of the patriarch the novel follows Nicholas Nickleby as he seeks to support his mother and sister after his father's death. When Nicholas' father dies after losing all of the family's money it is up to the young man to emerge as the new and more morally sound patriarch. Dashing and likable Nicholas ultimately prevails dodging shady characters along the way and securing a respectable life in Devonshire for his extended family. A favorite among Dickens' works Nicholas Nickleby has been adapted into a much-loved film. Very Good. Chapman and Hall unknown

THE POSTHUMOUS PAPERS OF THE PICKWICK CLUB

1836145491836. Containing a Faithful Record of the Perambulations Perils Travels Adventures and Sporting Transactions of the Corresponding Members. Edited by "Boz." With Illustrations. 20-in-19 monthly serial parts. London: Chapman & Hall 1836-1837. Original light green pictorial wrappers. First Edition in the original 20-in-19 monthly serial parts issued from April 1836 through November 1837. This was Dickens's first novel and his first book to appear in monthly serial parts; the sketches that would become SKETCHES BY BOZ appeared first in periodicals then in two-plus-one volumes in 1836-1837 and finally once Chapman & Hall took over in serial parts in 1837-1839. PICKWICK in parts is extremely complex bibliographically mainly for two reasons both of which came to a head with the fourth part. Dickens at the time was essentially unknown even as "Boz" because all he had written were the above sketches not yet in book or serial form; in fact C&H decided to publish PICKWICK only because the great illustrator Robert Seymour was involved -- and merely engaged the unknown Dickens to write something to accompany the illustrations. Seymour provided four plates for the first part and had prepared three of four planned for the second part when he died suddenly by his own hand. C&H quickly engaged Robert Buss to take on the illustrating which he did with two plates for the third part; with the great Seymour no longer involved the publisher agreed to scale back the number of plates per part from four to two -- which also meant more writing and money for Dickens. But both Buss and C&H quickly acknowledged that Buss was not the right illustrator for PICKWICK and beginning with the fourth serial part the little-known Hablot K. Browne "Phiz" was engaged for the remainder of the book -- and for many Dickens novels thereafter. Meanwhile PICKWICK was not selling well. Only 1000 copies of the first part were produced and only about half of those sold so only 500 of the second part were produced. As C&H struggled to find an illustrator the third and fourth parts were not big sellers either perhaps dropping to only 300 copies or so. But in the fourth part the first to include "Phiz's" plates Dickens introduced the character of Sam Weller -- and the public loved him. The book's popularity soared with each subsequent part; people who had missed the early parts now wanted copies of them and people as late as 1838 wanted sets of the parts too. As a result the publisher was constantly having to print new copies of the parts especially of the first four for some of which "Phiz" designed new plates to replace the much-maligned two by Buss. Thus there are many issues of most of the parts and a "Prime Pickwick" a set with the first four parts in first state are legendarily scarce. All of that said this set is generally later-issue. Only Parts 9 10 14 15 16 17 18 and 19/20 are in first-state wrappers and only Parts 9 plus 12-through-19/20 have the preliminary "Pickwick Advertiser" ads later issues were generally published without time-sensitive ads. Part 3 has the replacement plates by "Phiz"; in general most of the plates in the second half are first-state while most in the first half are as usual second-state. Of the "Address" slips called for after the plates in seven parts this set has all but the first two -- as usual. Contact us for further details. As for general condition it is remarkably near-fine. There is very little edge-wear and only four parts 11 plus the last three appear to have deftly-repaired spines. The plates in Part 9 are slightly browned around the edges and have very minor foxing but otherwise the plates are unusually clean and sharp. A set of first-issue parts in this condition would easily bring $25000 and a "prime" set few are known to exist would be numerous multiples of that. In all the fact that just over half of the parts are later-issue reduces the price significantly for the collector who wants a good-looking PICKWICK in parts that costs less than a new car.

Armorial bookplate of Adrian Hoffman Joline on front paste-downs bookplate for volume two removed. Housed in a quarter brown morocco clamshell case. An excellent and very attractive set Near Fine. For this novel Dickens's first in the standard three-volume form Bentley divided the printing task between two firms: Volume I was printed in a twelvemo format by Samuel Bentley; Volume II in octavo format by Whiting; and Volume III preliminaries and signatures A-F and probably G by Whiting with the remaining text by Samuel Bentley again in twelvemo format. The three-decker publication date was 9 November 1839 and within a week at Dickens's insistence the title-pages were changed to include his name and the "Church" version of the final plate was substituted for the "Fireside" version. Oliver Twist Dickens' second novel is a dark and biting work but one that is balanced with Oliver's indefatigable innocence and charm. Often cited as the first Victorian novel to feature a child protagonist it was developed as a social commentary and a call for improving the conditions of London's destitute and orphan children. In recent scholarship critics have noted that Dickens also sought to find balance as many of his contemporaries did between Darwin's theories about human nature and those from the Christian tradition; as the characters make their way through a seemingly uncaring world they are ultimately drawn back to reward or retribution based on their individual level of goodness. The story was immensely successful both as a novel filled with memorable characters and also as a work prompting much needed reform. Today it remains high within the pantheon of Victorian literature and is a work that has been successfully adapted to both the stage and screen. Smith I 4. Near Fine. Richard Bentley unknown

The Personal History of David Copperfield

002315London: Chapman and Hall London: Chapman and Hall. Published in the 1860's as part of the "Charles Dickens Edition" or "Original Edition" set this is a printing of David Copperfield from the original plates 1850 in its original brown sandcloth also called "diapercloth" binding with a blindstamped rule around the edges. "David Copperfield". short swollen rule "Dickens" all caps "Illustrated Original Edition" appear on the spine in gilt. Original uncolored endpapers uniform with pages. 9" tall x 5.5" wide. This book is in an early revision state with most of the internal flaws and points listed by Smith pp. 76-77 corrected as follows: title page lists Chapman and Hall while all other references are to Bradbury & Evans in the book including the imprint at the foot of p. 624 and the imprint on iv; the errors on pp. 19 30 34 132 and 237 have been corrected. All other points are present Smith pp. 97-98. The book contains Dickens's errata sheet. This book was composed from the original edition with some errors corrected and then released by Chapman and Hall at a later date along with other matching volumes in a set called the "Original Edition" now called the "Charles Dickens Edition". This book is in very good condition. Boards are chipped top and bottom of spine; there is a small tear at the fold about 1/3 up from the bottom. The spine is lightly faded corners are bumped boards are lightly scuffed with some light foxing. All the structural components are solid. John Carter Taste & Technique in Book Collecting quoted in Smith p. ix said "many of Dickens's cloth-bound novels are hardly ever found in fine condition.Cloth cases provided for his usually ample volumes were poor quality so that the collector may find Martin Chuzzlewit and David Copperfield as difficult and Pickwick more difficult to secure in fine original cloth than in the parts." In the 1860's Dickens revised and edited his books releasing the so-called "Charles Dickens Edition" or "Original Edition" of which this is part. Oxford University Press used the Charles Dickens Edition as the authoritative version of Dickens on which to base their reprint of Dickens's works. This is an exceptional copy of David Copperfield in its original cloth unrepaired un-recased as published from Bradbury & Evans' first edition plates in the authoritative "Charles Dickens" or "Original Edition". Very good condition. Chapman and Hall hardcover

The Mystery of Edwin Drood Extra-Illustrated

18702479London: Chapman and Hall 1870. First Edition. Fine. Bound by Cedric Chivers circa 1911 in full red crushed morocco. With the coat of arms for the city of Rocherster on the front panel and intricate details on the spine. Silk moire end papers all edges gilt extra-illustrated with 17 anonymously executed watercolors depicting localites in Rochester the inspiration for the setting of the novel and Dickens's childhood home. Four of the original watercolors are in full color. Additional hand drawn title page; portrait of Fildes and John Forster tipped in as well as a few leaves from Forster's "Life of Dickens" relating to this work. Book and binding in exceptional Fine condition. Two other extra-illustrated copies in Chivers bindings appeared in the auction record 1991 and 1995 but nothing since then. This binding likely executed at the same time c. 1911. Famed for his lush bindings involving leather gilt and vellum Cedric Chivers often partnered with William Morris' Kelmscott Press. By the turn of the century his work began to be sought out for presentation and exhibition copies of literature by authors including Charles Dickens Dante Gabriel Rossetti Alfred Lord Tennyson and Charles Lamb. Dickens' final novel left unfinished and published posthumously breaks with some of the author's previously established literary tendencies. Present are Dickens' emphasis on the relationship among smaller family units that create a larger social ecosystem; also present are his interests in blood versus conjugal familial duties. Yet the novel takes on an even darker tone than previous works. Drood's uncle John Jasper sits at the book's center; and his roles as an opium addict and philanderer affect all characters in orbit around him. In love with Drood's fiancee Rosa Jasper becomes the main suspect when Drood disappears under suspicious circumstances. Yet because the novel was left unfinished at the time of Dickens' death no final conclusion exists. Thus a part of the book's popularity was and continues to be derived from the ongoing mystery. "Since its publication in 1870 there have been hundreds of theories.trying to argue for how they think the story might end.the existing half of Drood spans just over 200 pages but the non-existent half has been expanded into thousands of pages presented in letters journal articles monographs novels. Dickens' book is open ended albeit unintentionally and that has meant a colossal opportunity for readers to engage with and explore the wide unknown of Drood's conclusion" Orford. Fine.
