First Edition so collected. In January 1837 Carey Lea & Blanchard published a "Library of Fiction" anthology volume titled THE TUGGS'S AT RAMSGATE "Together with Other Tales by Distinguished Writers" -- the first American appearance of that one Dickens sketch. A month later CL&B published a volume titled SKETCHES BY BOZ which consisted of the Dickens sketches contained in the Second Series of the British SKETCHES BY BOZ neither the UK nor the US edition included "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate". In June of the same year CL&B published this volume which combines "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" into their earlier "Sketches by Boz" plus adds for the first time an additional Dickens sketch "The Pantomime of Life." Only 1000 copies were printed. Attractively rebound in this understated full-calf binding this is a close-to-fine copy damp-mark at the top of some leaves toward the rear.

London: Chapman and Hall 1836/1837. Bound in contemporary half calf with marbled boards. First Edition in book form. Chapman & Hall's monthly fiction periodical "The Library of Fiction" began in April 1836 starting right off in that issue with the sketch "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" by a writer using the pseudonym "Boz." The third June issue included another "A Little Talk about Spring and the Sweeps." When the Second Series of SKETCHES BY BOZ was published in December 1836 the latter tale was included re-titled "The First of May"; "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" was the only one of Dickens's periodical sketches that did not appear in either volume of SKETCHES BY BOZ -- but it was added when SKETCHES BY BOZ was subsequently issued in serial parts from Nov 1837 through June 1839. These two volumes contain the monthly issues of this new periodical with preliminary leaves added for this book form the second volume issued in 1837 did not have any Dickens contributions but is included here. "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" includes two plates by Seymour and "Spring and the Sweeps" has one by Buss; both illustrators would soon be involved with PICKWICK PAPERS. Other contributors include Edward Mayhew G.P.R. James Douglas Jerrold Mary Russell Mitford and the Countess of Blessington.

A near fine set. <br/><br/> "The Library Edition came about largely because of the suggestion of Forster that while Dickens's works were available in volumes in the Cheap Edition and in reprints of the serial parts there was no high-quality edition that would appeal to the wealthy. Dickens eventually came round to the idea that an elegant edition could raise the stature of his writings. He faced a complication in that the rights to the works were divided between Chapman and Hall and Bradbury and Evans. Consequently the volumes contained the imprints of both publishers. With a dedication to Forster the Library Edition appeared in 22 volumes in 1858-9 at 7s 6d per volume. Titles included Pickwick Nickleby Chuzzlewit Old Curiosity Shop Reprinted Pieces Barnaby Rudge Hard Times Sketches by Boz Oliver Twist Dombey Copperfield Pictures from Italy Bleak House Little Dorrit and Christmas Books. The only illustrations were the frontispieces.<br/><br/>Between 1861 and 1874 this edition was reissued in 30 volumes with the addition of Tale of Two Cities Great Expectations Our Mutual Friend The Uncommercial Traveller A Child's History of England Christmas Stories and Drood. The reissue contained illustrations—the frontispieces plus additional illustrations by artists such as Marcus Stone John Leech and Clarkson Stanfield—and came to be known as the Illustrated Library Edition.Recognizing the continuing potential for sales of Dickens's works Chapman and Hall in 1873 published a prospectus for the Second Illustrated Library Edition containing they contended all the works the novelist wished to preserve. Calling it the first well-printed issue with specially cast type and better paper than that used in previous editions this set was published in 30 volumes between 1873 and 1876 and sold at £15 for the set a high price for the time" Oxford Companion to Dickens. <br/><br/>Gimbel D72.
