With 40 engraved plates including frontispiece and engraved title by H. K. Browne. In fine condition. An exceptional presentation. Dombey and Son "was well received by its readers and is considered to be the first novel that reflects Dickens's artistic maturity. Dickens told his first biographer 'It was to do with Pride what its predecessor Martin Chuzzlewit has done with Selfishness" Schlicke 280. The work "has a sense of the numinous is more profoundly touched by the sense of last things than any of Dickens' previous novels. It is larger in conception so that human life is seen in terms of its beginning and its end so that grief and forgiveness become more powerful forces within it. Dickens is aware of its status as art and provides here a simulacrum of human life touched by majesty and purpose" Ackroyd 526. The original serials contain the first of Browne's "dark plates" "On the dark Road" in part 18 created by the engraver's lining machine and roulettes that tint the etched plate creating heightened contrast Johannsen Phiz 309.

184619908London: Bradbury and Evans 1846-48 1846. First edition parts issue. Hatton & Cleaver pages 227-250. This set agrees with H&C's description except that in part 11 there is no ad for Letts & Son and the ad for Kaye's Pills in part 12 varies slightly from the one they described. Two of the three misprints noted by H&C are present: part 11 page 324 "Capitan" for "Captain"; part 14 page 426 "if" is not present; on page 431 the page number is present in H&C's earliest issue the number is omitted. Plates foxed - as seems inevitable - some minor paper repairs to the corners of a few spines; a few wrappers slightly soiled and smudged; overall in very nice condition as issued enclosed in a chemise and cloth slipcase. 20 parts in 19 as issued 8vo original pictorial blue wrappers. 40 plates. A fine set of Dombey and Son in original parts completely unsophisticated as evidenced by the ink signature on each front wrapper of a contemporary reader Stephen Blair. Dickens novels in parts with the evidence of the contemporary ownership on each wrapper are scarce and such provenance is virtually the only way to establish that a set has not been sophisticated "married" or "made up.". <br/><br/> London: Bradbury and Evans, 1846-48 hardcover books

18671002625London 1867. Admission ticket #70 for the public banquet given in honor of Charles Dickens as he embarked on his final American reading tour. In 1867 Dickens was at the height of his literary fame and the grand farewell dinner at London's Freemason's Hall was attended by almost five hundred guests including Matthew Arnold Wilkie Collins Alfred Tennyson and Anthony Trollope. In his response to the toasts Dickens outlined his reasons for returning to America: " I am inspired . . . by a natural desire to see for myself the astonishing change and progress of a quarter of a century over there to grasp the hands of many faithful friends whom I left upon those shores to see the faces of a multitude of new friends upon whom I have never looked and last not least to use my best endeavor to lay down a third cable of intercommunication and alliance between the old world and the new." Dickens was overwhelmed by the occasion writing to his friend Harry Wills the following day: "When I got up to speak but for taking a desperate hold of myself I should have lost my sight and voice and sat down again." A near-fine artifact of the Victorian literary scene. Pale green coated card measuring 3 x 4.5 inches printed recto only: "Dinner given to Mr. Charles Dickens / on the occasion of / His Departure for the United States / Freemason's Hall Great Queen St. / Saturday November 2nd 1867 Seven o'clock."

1861144231861. Works of Charles Dickens. Household Edition. In Two Volumes. Illustrated from Drawings by F.O.C. Darley and John Gilbert. New York: James G. Gregory 1861. Original dark green cloth. Very early American Edition -- the first to deposit copies at the Library of Congress -- of one of Dickens's most-loved novels being volumes of the "Household Edition". There has been much controversy over which is the first American edition -- this edition by Gregory or Peterson's edition. This Gregory edition was long regarded as the first American edition but Walter Smith's 2012 bibliography of Dickens's American editions gives the nod to Peterson's with considerable information on this controversy. In the meantime here is the brief known history. On November 15 1860 Harper entered a copyright for the book and then serialized the tale in Harper's Weekly beginning on November 24 and ending on August 3 1861 however there is no book edition published by Harper in 1861 as they sold the book rights to Peterson. On August 26 barely three weeks later and about seven weeks after the English three-decker was published James Gregory of New York entered a two volume set for copyright having undoubtedly set the type from the Harper serialization. Peterson of Philadelphia did not enter his one-volume edition at the LofC until November 8th almost three months later. But according to Smith Peterson's edition was actually out in the public's hand by the month of July while Gregory's did not actually hit the streets until September. So although Gregory's was the first edition to deposit copies at the Library of Congress Peterson's was the first "published" -- put into the hands of the public. The earliest Gregory volumes as here bear only his name as publisher on the title pages; on later copies this was replaced by the imprint of Sheldon and Company. Each volume includes a frontispiece plate by F.O.C. Darley with protective tissue the UK edition was not illustrated. These volumes are bright and in close-to-fine condition scarcely any of the usual mottling and bubbling of the cloth frequently a problem with these Household Edition volumes and virtually no wear.

Smith describes printings two through five as indistinguishable except for their title pages which may have been printed at the same time to give the impression of brisk sales.

Internally Very Good with some light corner creasing stray light stains and foxing. A very nice set of the classic novel. Chapman & Hall hardcover books
