"The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit commonly known as Martin Chuzzlewit is a novel by Charles Dickens considered the last of his picaresque novels. It was originally serialised between 1842 and 1844. While he was writing it Dickens told a friend that he thought it was his best work1 but it was one of his least popular novels.2 The late nineteenth century English novelist George Gissing read the novel in February 1888 "for refreshment" but felt that it showed "incomprehensible weakness of story".3 Like nearly all of Dickens's novels Martin Chuzzlewit was first published in monthly instalments. Early sales of the monthly parts were disappointing compared to previous works so Dickens changed the plot to send the title character to the United States.4 This allowed the author to portray the United States which he had visited in 1842 satirically as a near-wilderness with pockets of civilisation filled with deceitful and self-promoting hucksters. The main theme of the novel according to Dickens's preface is selfishness portrayed in a satirical fashion using all the members of the Chuzzlewit family. The novel is also notable for two of Dickens's great villains Seth Pecksniff and Jonas Chuzzlewit. It is dedicated to Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts a friend of Dickens's.

Housed in a felt-lined quarter black morocco clamshell case smooth curved spine lettered in gilt.<br/>  <br/>Following the overwhelming success of A Christmas Carol in 1843 Dickens embarked upon the Christmas Books project seeking to marshal "the Carol philosophy . in order to strike a sledgehammer blow" for England's lower classes. He continued publishing the Christmas Books throughout the 40s and the stories became mainstays of Dickens's public reading tours of the 1850s and 1860s.<br/><br/>A Christmas Carol was an instant success reportedly selling all 6000 copies of the first edition on the first day of publication and Dickens went on to write four more small festive books for each successive Christmas.<br/><br/>The London bindery of W. Root & Son consistently turned-out excellent work both on fine bindings as here and on trade bindings and sets. Packer lists the firm in business in Red Lion Square in 1899-1901 and the December 1942 issue of The Rotarian notes with regret that W. Root had been bombed out uprooted of their premises on Paternaster Row during the 1941 Blitz. There is a record in the June 10 1905 issue of The Academy "Esteemed Editions of various Authors some scarce all in new extra leather bindings. W. Root & Son 29-30 Eagle Street Red Lion Street Holborn W.C." Root & Son are also recorded at the same address in The Literary Year-Book 1909 thirteenth annual volume.
