Smith "John Overs to Charles Dickens: A Working-Man's Letter and Its Implications" Victorian Studies 18 no. 2 1974: 195–217. Spine just slightly sunned though hard to tell because of the heavy gilt a few trivial spots internally but A VERY FINE COPY in quite a pretty binding.<br/> <br/> This attractively bound volume of a working class poet's verse and prose represents one of Dickens' charitable efforts in the spirit of social reform. A carpenter by trade John Overs 1808-44 had become acquainted with Dickens in 1839 when he submitted poetry for publication in "Bentley's Miscellany" then under Dickens' editorship. Over the next several years Dickens became a literary mentor and something of a friend to Overs providing writing advice lending books and helping Overs to secure a position at Drury Lane Theatre when his tuberculosis became too severe to continue his work as a carpenter. Literary scholar Sheila M. Smith has suggested that Overs may have served as an influence for "The Chimes" Dickens' penultimate Christmas book; she writes that Overs "was neither a political agitator nor a trade unionist. . . yet he was bitter and exulting in the idea of social revolution. A working man of this kind goaded to such feelings would have aroused Dickens's sympathy at a period when the novelist was experiencing his most violent indignation about his country's poor." To whatever degree that sympathy proved a literary inspiration for Dickens it directly led to the publication of the present work. When it was clear by the spring of 1844 that Overs would not survive his illness Dickens suggested to him that he publish a collection of his writings to help provide for his family after his passing. And so the present anthology was published only months before Overs' death on September 28 1844 with the proceeds from the book along with an additional charitable collection taken up by the publisher allowing his widow to make a living by opening a small milliner's shop.

1870ST18330London: Chapman and Hall 1870. FIRST EDITION in book form. 215 x 140 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 1/2. vii 1 blank 190 pp. Without the leaf of publisher's ads. <br/> VERY ATTRACTIVE SCARLET CRUSHED MOROCCO BY CEDRIC CHIVERS stamp-signed on rear turn-in ca. 1911 covers framed by one blind and two gilt fillets upper cover with INLAID PAINTED VELLUCENT ESCUTCHEON with the arms of the city of Rochester within a "tiled" gilt frame the inlay enclosed by Art Nouveau floral design incorporating a heart motif an onlaid citron morocco heart at the foot of the design three raised bands dividing the spine into two small compartments slightly larger compartment with gilt titling and an elongated compartment with inlaid vellucent and gilt escutcheon displaying the arms of the county of Kent within similar Art Nouveau tooling featuring an onlaid citron heart turn-ins ruled in gilt with dot cornerpieces leather hinges red watered silk endleaves all edges gilt.

Fildes EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED with reproductions of a black & white portrait of Fildes and an engraved portrait of John Forster both taken from contemporary publications a reduced reproduction of the original green paper wrapper cover all three of these mounted in heavy stock frames additional calligraphed title page noting extra-illustrations 16 ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS FOUR OF THESE WATERCOLORS 13 dry-point all but one mounted in heavy stock frames one drawn directly on heavy stock all captioned and all with tissue guards. Front flyleaf with embossed ex-libris of Dana C. Bradford. With "The Last Book" a seven-page excerpt from Forster's "Life of Dickens" mounted in frames at rear following a handwritten section title page. ◆Slight rippling of some of the inserted leaves text faintly yellowed because of paper stock as no doubt in all copies perhaps a whisper of wear to the binding but still and easily a very fine copy.<br/> <br/> In terms of content illustration binding and condition this item is obviously of very considerable appeal. Dickens' final unfinished novel "Edwin Drood" is a murder mystery that remains unsolved to this day. Set in a lightly fictionalized version of Rochester near which Dickens was living the plot involves a marriage engagement between the two orphans Drood and Rosa Budd made by their parents and distasteful to both of them. When Drood disappears suspicion falls heavily on Neville another orphaned young man who is in love with Rosa. Neville has the reader's sympathy and we can only hope that Drood's sinister and scheming uncle Jasper is the culprit. A distinguished artist who did many famous portraits in his later years Samuel Luke Fildes 1844-1927 began as an illustrator known especially for powerful black and white images of social realism; his career was measurably advanced by his selection as the artist to execute the plates in "Edwin Drood." Cedric Chivers opened his Bath bindery in the 1880s producing various kinds of fine decorative bindings but specializing in a "vellucent" binding based on the 18th century painted vellum work of Edwards of Halifax. Here he has used the vellucent technique to create the shields with the arms of Rochester and Kent inlaid on the cover and spine. The anonymous watercolors here are extremely attractive being skillfully done in pleasing colors. They are mostly depictions of the novel's localities generally in Rochester. Chapman and Hall unknown

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.

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
