1859118558London: Chapman and Hall 1859. First edition first issue of one of Dickens' most enduring works with p. 213 misnumbered "113" the signature mark "b" at the foot of the plate list and the misspelling "affetcionately" on line 12 p. 134. Octavo bound in full morocco gilt titles to the spine raised bands inner dentelles marbled endpapers. Sixteen plates after H.K. Browne including frontispiece and title vignette. In near fine condition. An exceptional presentation. The most famous and possibly the most popular of Dickens's novels A Tale of Two Cities shows a master of dramatic narrative extracting gold from the ore of history. If the bloody tableau of the French Revolution were not in itself sufficient for a dozen novels Dickens added to it a professional resurrectionist an authentic ogress and an antihero as convincingly flawed as any in modern literature. "Dickens had always admired Carlyle's History of the French Revolution and asked him to recommend suitable books from which he could research the period; in reply Carlyle sent him a 'cartload' of volumes. So great was Dickens' enthusiasm for the story that it had indeed 'taken in possession' of him. The force of the novel springs from its exploration of darkness and death but its beauty derives from Dickens' real sense of transcendence from his ability to see the sweep of destiny" Ackroyd 858. The last of Dickens' books to be illustrated by H.K. Browne "Phiz" with 16 engraved plates by him. "Browne for 23 years responsible for all the etchings which had so successfully embellished these Dickens' books produced his last drawings for the present work. Bradbury and Evans the printers of all and publishers of five of Dickens' works as issued in monthly parts had ceased to act in this dual capacity after completion of Little Dorrit. resulting in the return of Chapman and Hall as publishers of this and all succeeding works" Hatton & Cleaver 333.

18591083568vo. London: Chapman & Hall MDCCCLIX 1859. 8vo ix 1-254 16 etched plates including frontis and title vignette. Full olive green fine-diaper cloth entirely stamped in blind with a three line border which encloses a rectangular frame within which is is an ornament of leaves and stems in each corner and a chain-like design with each link enclosing a four-leafed flower. Housed in a green cloth slip-case. The head and tail of the backstrip are very slightly bumped with some sun toning; minor scattered foxing mostly near plates and some off-setting; a good clean copy in a beautifully preserved original cloth binding. § First edition in the rare secondary green cloth binding. Two of the eight internal flaws identified by Smith as necessary for the first issue have been corrected: “l†and “f†are printed on p.116 and 213 is numbered correctly. Of the latter point Eckel observes “The absence of this error does not invalidate a first edition but it fixes the priority of printing†and Smith concludes “this binding is probably of a later state than the red morocco cloth one†i.e. second issue. “When Dickens began the publication of All the Year Round the successor of Household Words he realized the necessity of making a strong start. So he began writing A Tale of Two Cities publishing the first of the serial in the opening number of his new periodical. As a novel of great popularity it probably ranks next to Pickwick and Copperfield†Eckel 87. This was the last novel in which Dickens worked with “Phiz†after a partnership of 23 years and was published on commission through the renewed partnership with Chapman & Hall. Podeschi A143.

Five of the numbers HhW 1854 through 1858 still have unopened leaves; a few appear that they might once have been bound up though not trimmed or anything. They are housed in a modern cloth case with inner chemise. Though the last five numbers the ones in blue wrappers are not uncommon the others have become rather scarce; it is now quite unusual to encounter a complete collection of all eighteen. Eckel pp 193-197 "In good state they a complete set are hard to find" -- this in 1932!. unknown books
