1927GEN16-D-7London: Halton and Truscott Smith Ltd 1927. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 10" by 7.5". None. A limited edition copy of this volume containing the letters of Charles Dickens to Mark Lemon playwright and founder of Punch magazine from 1847 to 1870. Mark Lemon's friendship with Charles Dickens was a close and long-lasting one. Although he contributed to Bentley's Miscellany while Dickens was editor it is unlikely that the two men met until after the first issue of Punch appeared. In April 1843 Lemon was formally invited to dinner by Dickens and their friendship grew. Lemon and Punch stalwart Gilbert à Beckett adapted Dickens's Chimes for the Adelphi in February 1844. The Haunted Man followed in 1848. A shared passion for amateur theatricals cemented their friendship. Lemon appeared as Brainworm and Dickens as Bobadil in Jonson's Every Man in his Humour which played at the Royalty and at the St James Theatre in the autumn of 1845. The production was transferred to Manchester and Liverpool in the summer of 1847 and in the following year the play was revived in London alternating with The Merry Wives of Windsor in which Lemon appeared as Falstaff alongside Dickens. During the more lengthy provincial tour that followed Lemon and Dickens supplemented their Shakespearian repertoire with roles in various farces. In a campaign to raise funds for the Guild of Literature and Art Lemon and Dickens appeared again in Jonson's play at Lytton's Knebworth in November 1850 and in the following May after a performance in Lytton's Not So Bad As We Seem Lemon joined Dickens in Mr Nightingale's Diary a piece that they had co-written. Further provincial tours followed late in 1851 and in 1852. Lemon also took part in productions at Dickens's small private theatre in Tavistock House notably in Wilkie Collins's melodramas The Lighthouse and The Frozen Deep. Lemon and his family had become frequent visitors to Dickens's home since the latter had moved to Tavistock House in November 1851 though the new neighbours were already fellow members of a weekly walking club had taken nocturnal strolls around London together and had been on excursions such as a tour of Salisbury Plain in 1848. In the following year Dickens submitted his one and only contribution to Punch an attack on the suburban water supply but Lemon deemed it unsuitable. The end of Lemon's long friendship with Dickens came in 1858 when Lemon neglected to publish in Punch his friend's proclamation outlining the reasons for a separation from his wife Catherine who had been advised by Lemon. The two men were eventually reconciled in 1867. Including four folded facsimiles of the letters. This edition was printed in a limited quantity of five hundred and twenty-five so this is a very rare edition. In a cloth binding with marbled boards. Externally very smart with just some minor shelfwear only. Internally firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with virtually no spotting at all.

Tinsley Brothers of 8 Catherine Street Strand were Ainsworth's publishers during this period. The letter begins: 'Dear Mr. Tinsley You are quite incorrigible.' Ainsworth complains that Tinsley has sent him a letter 'delayed since Novr. 11th. last' and that he has 'been obliged to write a long letter of explanation and apology'. He hopes that 'the lady – for the writer is a lady – will be satisfied'. In a postscript he complains that the printers Savile & Edwards 'seem to have come to a stop. No proofs reach me.'

25657'Kensal Manor House / Harrow Road. / May 19th. 1846.'. The subject of this article is discussed by William M. Johnston in his article ‘William Kinglake’s “A Summer in Russiaâ€: A Neglected Memoir of Saint Petersburgh in 1845’ TSLL Spring 1967. The memoir was published anonymously by Ainsworth in the New Monthly Magazine of which he was editor and proprietor in three parts but a German translation in the same year revealed Kinglake’s identity. See the entries for Ainsworth and Kinglake in the Oxford DNB. An interesting letter casting light on Victorian journalistic practices. 4pp 12mo. Forty lines of text. On a bifolium. In fair condition aged and worn with strips of paper adhering to blank areas at head and foot of the reverse of the second leaf. Folded for postage. The recipient is not named. Signed ‘W. Harrison Ainsworth.’ Begins: ‘My dear Sir. I received your Russian Tour at breakfast this morning and since then I have read it with great interest - an unusual instance for me for extensive familiarity with manuscripts has not tended to increase my partiality for them. But your paper is not only well written but very lively and amusing and I have got through it with great satisfaction to myself. Under these circumstances you will not wonder that I gladly accept it for the New Monthly; and I only regret that I cannot owing to the Magazine. being already made up commence in next No.’ He will however ‘send the paper incontinently to the Printer with directions to him to forward proofs’ to the writer’s address. He suggests dividing the paper ‘into chapters with separate headings’. He asks how he proposes to ‘entitle it’ and whether he wishes to attach his name to it. He would be pleased to make his acquaintance and suggests that they dine at the Parthenon Club in Regent Street the following Friday ‘when we can talk matters over’. If that is not possible he suggests that they dine ‘here en famille on Sunday next at six likewise’. See Image. 'Kensal Manor House / Harrow Road. / May 19th. 1846.' unknown
