The story is told partly by the novel's heroine Esther Summerson and partly by an omniscient narrator. Memorable characters include the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn the friendly but depressive John Jarndyce and the childish Harold Skimpole as well as the likable but imprudent Richard Carstone.<br /> <br /> The set has 68 of the 82 back ads called for; "Advertiser" complete in all parts except parts IX and eleven with one leaf each torn out.

1840132470London: Chapman and Hall 1840-1841. First edition of this collection of short stories. Large octavo 3 volumes bound in three quarter morocco over marbled boards by Sangorski and Sutcliffe with gilt tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands morocco spine labels lettered in gilt top edge gilt marbled endpapers tissue-guarded engraved frontispiece to each volume illustrated by George Cattermole and Hablot Browne. In very good condition. Housed in a custom marbled slipcase. Master Humphrey's Clock was a weekly serial that contained both short stories and two novels The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge. Some of the short stories act as frame stories to the novels so the ordering of publication is important. 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.

1844023005London: Chapman and Hall 1844. First Edition. Octavo. First issue with "all" the issue points of Smith and Hatton and Cleaver. Although the present copy does have the pound sign before the £100. According to Hatton and Cleaver p.86 the vignette title page was etched in triplicate two of the etchings reading "£ 100" and one "100£". Since all these plates were contemporary and used simultaneously in the printing of the parts there is no first state or priority of the illustration as has been often cited in catalogs. A very handsome copy bound by Morrell in full tan polished calf triple ruled in gilt raised bands with compartments fully gilt decorated red and brown morocco spine labels gilt all edges gilt. Frontispiece does have some scattered foxing but the other plates are clean with an occasional spot or spots of foxing. An exceptionally nice copy. Chapman and Hall unknown

A very attractive example housed together in a felt-lined fitted marbled board slipcase.<br /> <br /> The Mystery of Edwin Drood was Dickens's final work left unfinished at the time of his death. "When Dickens died on June 9 1870 he had completed only enough of his manuscript to make up six instalments leaving unfinished a work which had commanded the widest attention for its opening numbers and which promised to be one of his most effective and popular books. Although only three parts had been issued prior to his death publication of the work continued and on completion with Part 6 of all available material the vast army of readers was left high and dry as to 'The Mystery.' The Author during the writing of the story never disclosed the ultimate development of his plot" Hatton and Cleaver. John Jasper's Secret-written by New York journalist Henry Morford 1823-1881 and his wife-was the first of many literary attempts to solve The Mystery of Edwin Drood.<br /> <br /> Smith 16; Gimbel H330; Sadleir 705a; Not in Sadleir.

18432158<p>It is bound as one book which makes me uncertain however. <br />I think that this is the tauhe actual first rare state of A christmas carol published 1843 by Tauchnitz from 1846 actually since all are bound together rare regardless. <br />The book is very good. Free from writing inside and stains. The original binding is beautiful. <br />It is also bound with the haunted man and the chimes later though.<br />The book has all of the following first edition identifiers as seen in my further description</p><p>There is a later Tauchnitz edition with 1843 as the printing year but it does not have the 78 pages of the genuine first edition nor the text "Edition sanctioned by the Author" on the title page or the shortened version of the title page publisher where the correct one is "Leipzig Bernh. jun.
