Every Saturday /Vol VII No. 162 February 6 1869 / original Wraps not hardbound. Probably the First American Publication of Dickens' "Mr. Barlow" Chapter 34 from The Uncommercial Traveller.

1869000962Boston: Fields Osgood & Co. 1869. First Edition . Wrappers. Very Good Plus. 10 1/2" x 7. Engravings. Boston: Fields Osgood & Co. 1869. First and only edition of the February 6th issue Vol. VII No. 162 of Every Saturday. 10 1/2" x 7" newsprint wraps 32 pp. 8 pp. ads. A couple of small corner folds 2 small holes through which an early owner apparently tried to bind this issue with others some discoloration at one edge of rear cover small chips at bottom edge. Almost no age toning or foxing. Supple. A very solid Very Good Plus. An extraordinarily scarce original wraps copy of Every Saturday which is found when it is found almost exclusively as six-monthly hardbound aggregations. Every Saturday was the weekly offering of Fields & Osgood after Ticknor & Fields which offered in the publisher's words "choice reading selected from current foreign literature" - i.e. usually reprints from similar overseas journals generally English ones. This particular issue interestingly includes as a "New Uncommercial Sample" Charles Dickens' "Mr. Barlow" which was Chapter 34 from his "The Uncommercial Traveller". As the original-wraps version of Every Saturday rather than the later hardbound accumulation this piece is almost certainly the first American publication of that chapter. That title was originally published in England in 1860 by Chapman and Hall but the first American edition was that of - yes Fields & Osgood in 1869. F & O published chapters from the work here in Every Saturday one in an issue described as from "advance sheets" most Every Saturday entries were reprinted from foreign journals. Herein is Chapter 34 the story of that difficult tutor Mr. Barlow who was "the vulture that gorges itself upon the liver of my uninstructed mind". Also included: "Handsome is That Handsome Does" Blanchard Jerrold reprinted from 'The London'; Nelly's New Year Hesba Stretton reprinted from 'The Argosy'; and a variety of pieces unattributed as to author. Those include "Victor Hugo at Home" Once A Week; "The Man With Two Memories" The Spectator; "Mature Sirens" The Saturday Review; "The Fifteen Louis D'Or of Beaumarchais concluded" Blackwood's Magazine; "Diary of Prince Salm-Salm" London Times; "Conjugal Tiffs" The London review; "Foreign Notes" Our Exchanges; and "Hippolytus to Artemis" Frazer's Magazine. Eight pages of the usual funky - and historically highly educational - Every Saturday ads separately numbered are also quite entertaining. A piece of history. L-ES1 Fields, Osgood & Co. unknown

Expertly rebacked with the original spine panel laid down. Housed in the binder's original fleece-lined red cloth slipcase. A unique copy. With Amy Dorrit as his case study Dickens reveals how a parents' financial shortcomings can detrimentally affect their daughters' lives -- forcing women into unsafe or unsavory employment and preventing them from finding husbands or forming families of their own. And he suggests that only through goodness and self sacrifice can women rise up from these conditions. "On any other terms than those of allegory angelic Amy Dorrit would be squirmingly hard to swallow. As it is her goodness is indispensable to the story. Born in the Marshals debtor's prison she is the only character whose wishes are wholly unselfish and whose unbreakable will to love and be loved frees her metaphorically from every prison literal and social. All the other major characters are imprisoned by discontent by poverty by ignorance by personal ambition even by ill-judged kindness; but most conspicuously by an insatiable desire for money power and status" Stevenson. No other Dickens novel tackles more overtly the burdens women bear in the face of economic hardship nor so highly glorifies its female characters for their endurance. "Little Dorrit originally appeared in twenty numbers bound in nineteen monthly parts the last part forming a double number from December 1855 - June 1857. It was published in book form on May 30 1857" Smith. Helen Riviere Haywood 1908-1995 was an English painter children's book illustrator and writer best known for her foredge paintings. She came from a book-binding family: Haywood was the granddaughter Robert Riviere founder of the great bindery which executed this lovely binding and her uncle who also worked for the firm introduced her to foredge and double foredge painting. Between the 1930s-1970s she completed multiple commissions for Inman's Books a New York City based antiquarian book dealer. From her intertest in science anthropology and naturalism Haywood developed a keen attention to the world's natural elements; this talent for observation and specificity found its way into her artwork. "The Riviere Bindery was one of the most notable and prolific shops in London's West End from about 1840 through 1939" Princeton. Bath-based Bayntun Bindery acquired the firm in 1939 transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery" which is still in existence and family owned. Provenance: Louise Dalton Kirk 1936; Purchased by David Brass Rare Books from a private California collection 2007; sold to Randal Moscovitz 2008. Smith I 12. Eckel pp. 82-85. Near Fine.

Spines very slightly darkened otherwise very fine. Housed in the original fleece-lined green cloth slipcase. A spectacular example of a pair of early Bayntun bindings typical of the firm's first-rate work and use of the best materials. Joseph Grimaldi 1779-1837 was considered "the most celebrated of English clowns" famous for his pantomime skills Britannica. Purportedly an autobiography edited by Dickens scholars have debated the extent of his authorial role: Forster claims he wrote the introductory chapter Eckel says the last and Bentley argues a significant portion of the book. It is for a discerning reader to parse Grimaldi from Dickens nevertheless it makes for an entertaining read. George Bayntun 1873-1940 was the founder of Bayntun Bindery. Trained by apprenticeship with the Taylor family Bayntun opened his own book bindery in 1894 dedicated to using traditional hand-crafted techniques and high-quality materials. The Bath-based firm acquired the Rivière Bindery also based in Bath in 1939 transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery" which is still in existence and family owned. Gimbel B64. Eckel pp. 140-2.

Spine with five raised bands elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments. Decorative gilt board-edges wide elaborate gilt turn-ins marbled liners and endleaves all edges gilt. Housed in the original felt-lined red cloth slipcase spine with two black morocco labels lettered in gilt. "This collection of short pieces contains the earliest of Dickens's work. It is undoubtedly the most valuable from the antiquarian's point of view containing references and descriptions of life in the 30's to be found nowhere else" Hayward. Sketches by Boz contains stories and vignettes about daily life in London that Dickens first published in various newspapers and other periodicals between 1833 and 1836. The book is divided into four sections: "Our Parish" "Scenes" "Characters" and "Tales." A classic example of Dickensian observation. A total of forty plates were drawn and etched by George Cruikshank for this octavo edition of which twenty-seven are the original designs as they appeared in the First and Second Series of the Sketches published in volume form 1836-37; these however were enlarged in size to match an additional thirteen etchings. "When Chapman and Hall obtained the copyright of Sketches in 1837 they published all of them in twenty monthly parts from November 1837 through June 1839. Cruikshank designed a cover enlarged the plates except 'The Free and Easy' which was discarded and created 13 new illustrations for these monthly parts. In may 1839 Chapman and Hall published these parts complete in one volume with all 40 of Cruikshank's illustrations" Smith. George Bayntun 1873-1940 was the founder of Bayntun Bindery 1894 dedicated to using traditional hand-crafted techniques and high-quality materials. "The Riviere Bindery was one of the most notable and prolific shops in London's West End from about 1840 through 1939" Princeton. Bath-based Bayntun Bindery acquired the firm in 1939 transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery" which is still in existence and family owned. Although named after the English miniaturist Richard Cosway 1742-1821 the desirable "Cosway Binding" with its jewel-like portrait miniature set into a fine binding was first developed at the turn of the century by J.H. Stonehouse director of London's Henry Sotheran Booksellers. Their miniatures were painstakingly crafted by the talented painter Miss C. B. Currie 1849-1940. As the style grew in popularity other publishing houses quickly began to reproduce this technique-each developing their own desirable take on the aesthetic-referred to as "Cosway style." Smith I: 2 note 4; Gimbel A7; Hatton and Cleaver cf. pp. 91-128. Fine. Chapman and Hall unknown
