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. "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. Chapman and Hall unknown books

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.

Octavo modern three-quarter brown morocco raised bands. $1500.First edition in book form of Dickens' picaresque novel of ""farce melodrama and social criticism"" with 40 full-page etchings by Hablôt Knight Browne ""Phiz"" attractively bound.First issued in 20 numbers from January 1843 to July 1844 Martin Chuzzlewit reflects the disillusionment Dickens felt from a recent trip to the United States his first American reading tour. As Fielding had sent his Tom Jones to London Dickens ""adopted the same radical expedient of sending his youthful protagonist not merely to London but to America. The book's picaresque technique provides him with a large canvas and plenty of opportunity for farce melodrama and social criticism"" Philip V. Allingham. ""You know as well as I"" Dickens told John Forster at the time of its publication ""I think Chuzzlewit in a hundred points immeasurably the best of my stories"" Ackroyd 415. The title page vignette was printed from three nearly identical etched plates produced of the same subject no priority established. This version has ""£100"" on the signpost with the ""1"" blurred is signed ""Phiz"" and has six studs on the trunk lid. The vignette title and many of the plates were produced in duplicate and triplicate with minor variations but ""since all of these plates were contemporary and used simultaneously in the printing of the parts there is no first state or priority of the illustration"" Smith 67.
