Publisher's advertisement for the works of Louisa Muhlbach printed on purple stock tipped to title page. American Notes first published in 1842 is largely based on Dickens's letters to John Forster Daniel Maclise and others. He sailed from Liverpool on January 3 1842 and visited numerous cities in the United States and Canada including Boston New York Philadelphia Richmond St. Louis Montreal and Quebec before returning to England from New York City on June 7. It was an exhausting trip and Dickens was especially tired of the often virulent reactions to his support of international copyright laws. This edition not listed in Gimbel.

1842141581842. New-York: Harper & Brothers 1842. 4 pp ads dated Nov 2 1842. Original brown printed wrappers. Third American Edition just one day after the first! of this book that resulted from Dickens's 1842 tour of America. As first put forth in a 1975 article by Peter Bracher and soon to be confirmed in Walter Smith's upcoming bibliography this edition was published on November 8th 1842 the day after Winchester's "New World" edition and Wilson's "Brother Jonathan" edition -- but the day before Lea & Blanchard's fourth American edition. Dickens was so upset by the lack of an international copyright law he forewent any negotiations with American publishers -- which is why none of these publishers had advance sheets and all simply had to wait in the harbor for the first boat to arrive with copies of the UK edition published October 19th and then rush to press. This Harper edition bears the date November 2nd on the ads and on the inside rear wrapper but as the above bibliographers have researched such a date is not necessarily the publication date when the book is actually available to the public. A curiosity of this edition is that although prices on the rear and inside covers are in cents the front cover twice states "price one shilling." This is a very good-plus copy with minor wear at the extremities rear wrapper a bit darkened minor foxing throughout as usual. Podeschi Yale A67; Carr UTexas B479; Wilkins p. 24. unknown books
1842141591842. Boz' Works -- No. 21. Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard 1842. Original self-wrapper serving as title page; lacking the rear wrapper. Fourth American Edition just two days after the first! -- second issue. As first put forth in a 1975 article by Peter Bracher and soon to be confirmed in Walter Smith's upcoming bibliography this edition was published on November 9th 1842 two days after Winchester's "New World" edition and Wilson's "Brother Jonathan" edition -- and one day after Harper's edition. Dickens was so upset by the lack of an international copyright law he forewent any negotiations with American publishers -- which is why none of these publishers had advance sheets and all simply had to wait in the harbor for the first boat to arrive with copies of the UK edition published October 19th and then rush to press. This Lea and Blanchard edition has 103 pages of double-column text -- actually 107 pages because inserted between pages 88 and 89 are the two leaves containing pages 85 through 89 a portion of text that the printers in their rush had omitted. It was initially published on November 9th with a frontispiece portrait of Dickens and with "With a Portrait of the Author" on the title page/front wrapper; it was priced at 25 cents double the "New World" and "Brother Jonathan" prices -- i.e. doomed. Thus on the very next day the 10th L&B announced a "new edition" but really just altered copies priced at 12-1/2 cents withOUT the portrait and with the pertinent line on the title page heavily inked out. This is such a second-issue copy the heavy swath of ink gradually ate away that part of the title leaf leaving a long narrow hole that has since been backed by archival paper. This copy was apparently once bound up in something more substantial and now lacks its rear wrapper; the front leaf and final leaf have significant edge-wear. In our experience this is the scarcest and the most fragile of the four earliest American editions. Not in Podeschi Yale; not in Carr UTexas B479; not noted by Wilkins. unknown books

American Notes is largely based on Dickens's letters to John Forster Daniel Maclise Beard Mitton and Fontblanque. He sailed from Liverpool on 3 January 1842 and visited numerous cities in the United States and Canada including Boston New York Philadelphia Richmond St. Louis Montreal and Quebec before leaving for England from New York City on June 7.
