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.

Household words. A weekly journal

185028170New York: G. P. Putnam and others see below 1850. First American edition 19 volumes 8vo text in double column within ruled borders; a fine set in contemporary half blue polished calf over marbled boards red morocco labels on gilt-decorated spines. Household Words was considerably more popular in England than America and its publishing history in America is "almost absolutely dark as is the whole subject of periodical printing and 'arrangements' . The 1850's were years of copyright agitation in America and certainly no legally protective arrangements were possible to the English publishers before the journal was discontinued in 1859. And it is not surprising that the course of Household Words was not so brilliant in America as was that of its successor All the Year Round.It was partially a local work and not quite so interesting to an America as to an English reader; it had changed publishers too often; there was no legitimate arrangement between the English proprietors and the American publishers; it was sold at too high a price; it had been published by inexperienced people and therefore had not received proper publicity and promotion; and its lack of pictorial illustration made it unpopular with the masses" Buckler William E. "'Household Words' in America" in Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America vol. 45 pp. 160-66. While the first volume was published by Putnam volumes 2 and 3 were printed from English plates and have a London imprint; those publishing the remaining volumes included in order McElrath & Lord; Angell Engel & Hewitt McElrath & Barker; T. C. McElrath & Co.; J. A. Dix; Dix & Edwards; Dix Edwards & Co.; Miller & Curtis; James Miller; Jansen & Co.; and Frederick A. Brady. Complete sets of this American piracy in a matching contemporary binding are uncommon. G. P. Putnam [and others, see below] unknown

Small ink gift inscription dated 1913 to volume one and a small sticker from a bookseller or previous owner to preliminary blank of volume two. An excellent copy of one of Dickens' most famous works. 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 social 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. For this novel Dickens's first in the standard three-volume form Bentley divided the printing task between two firms: volume one was printed by Samuel Bentley; volume two format by Whiting; and volume three in part by both Whiting and Bentley. The triple-decker publication date was November 9 1839; within a week at Dickens's insistence the title-pages were changed to include his name and the "Fireside" plate was replaced with the "Church" version. The present set is from the first issue with the original "Boz" titles and the "Fireside" plate. Smith I 4. Near Fine. Richard Bentley unknown
