18510145821 Devonshire Terrace London 1851. Hand-written letter measuring 4 1/2" x 7". Two horizontal folds to accommodate envelope for mailing. " 1 Devonshire Terrace Eighteenth January 1857. Dear Sir I have been visiting in the country or I should have answered your note sooner. I assure you that I feel under many obligations now and have to thank you for much kindness. I shall be glad to do so in person whenever you find such for time. Give me the opportunity. Faithfully yours Charles Dickens. addressee's name. Signed with Dickens' flourishing paraph. The letter and accompanying portrait were removed from an old frame and restored by a paper conservator.Mold was found on the reverse of the portrait with area of stain at foot of letter. Both were restored to their original conditions and left unframed in conservation papers. The work sheet of the conservator is included. Our research suggests that Dickens was visiting Gad's Hill in Kent when he said he had gone to the country as it was being renovated then retured to Devonshire Terrace for a short time before returning to Gad's Hill . He was also travelling extensively in Europe during this time. He used Gad's Hill as his country house until his death in 1870. I Devonshire Terrace was demolished in 1858-1859. A very nice example of a Dickens letter conserved and ready for framing. Letter of authentification is also included. unknown books

184212588JBoston: 3 1/4 pages 9 3/4 by 7 3/4 inches January 31 1842. Original Autograph Letter Signed “Richd. H. Dana Jr.†written to Dana’s English publisher Edward Moxon describing the amazingly warm response of Americans to Charles Dickens visiting Boston. An absorbing letter showing Dana’s wonderful narrative abilities of which more than half is devoted to Dana’s account of Dickens’s stay in Boston during the English author’s celebrated first trip to America in 1842. Moxon was the British publisher of Dana’s Two Years Before the Mast and the recently issued The Seaman’s Friend. “. We have Dickens here with us & the whole town is crazy the author and his wife arrived in Boston from England on 22 January. I doubt if a literary man ever made such a ‘progress’ through a country as he is making through ours. Indeed I am certain it will be an era in literary history . From the moment the steamer was sighted up to this hour. The whole community has been in a high fever . he is obliged to refuse all visitors except at certain hours & then he holds a regular levee. The other day when he went to sit for his portrait on coming out he found the ante room staircase etc. lined with people young & old. One old lady asked him to stand still & let the ladies form a ring round so that all could see him. This was too much for his risibles & he laughed out & told her eager ladyship that he was sorry etc. but was in a hurry — & was going off; when the ladies called out to the artist ‘Do Mr. A. stop him! Don’t let him go!’ In the meanwhile the standard men of literature & wealth are paying him every attention & like him exceedingly . I have met him several times & like him very much. How full of life he is! . He told me much in the way of answering questions about yourself ‘ our friend’ as you call him Capt. Ives & others of whom I was curious to inquire . Dickens has told us many anecdotes of Charles Lamb some of which are not yet published & which interested us very much. You don’t know what a feeling there is here about Lamb .†Boston’s adulatory reception of the English writer reached its climax the next day 1 February with a great banquet held in his honor which Dana also attended. Dickens’s visit to the United States he returned to England in June resulted in his American Notes for General Circulation 1842. Written in brown ink on a bifolium of gray paper with small embossed stamp of T. Groom Boston; address panel postmark and remnants of red sealing wax.

1868146611868. One page on Gads Hill Place stationery dated 21 May 1868. The text of this letter reads: I am deeply gratified by your praises of Harry; and I dearly hope that in his future career he will do us both justice. Nothing will occur I trust to prevent my having the pleasure of giving away the prizes on the day of the Sports. I am sorry to say that my surgeon forms a far less hopeful view of Harry's accident than yours does. Faithfully yours always signed Charles Dickens The Rev. Brackenbury was the headmaster of Wimbledon School which Dickens's 19-year-old son Harry had attended since 1861 and as "Head Censor" was nearing the end of his final year before going up that fall to Trinity Hall Cambridge the only Dickens child to attend university. Henry Fielding Dickens was the eighth of Dickens's ten children -- named of course for one of Dickens's favorite authors Henry Fielding; it is said that CD wanted to name him for another author Oliver Goldsmith but worried that his son would be teased at school as "Oliver asking for more." Earlier that same month Dickens had returned from his "exhausting" five-month tour of North America. Although Dickens here tells Brackenbury that nothing should prevent him from giving away the Sports prizes on May 30th the Wimbledon prizes would in fact be handed out by someone else "in the unavoidable absence" of Charles Dickens; his sister-in-law Georgina Hogarth and his eldest daughter "Mamie" Dickens attended in his absence. As for "Harry's accident" referred to in the letter Dickens wrote about it the very next day in a letter to J.C. Parkinson: My boy is laid up at Wimbledon he is headboy there now and going up to Cambridge with a lamed knee. Having lamed it two years ago he was medically admonished not to jump -- of course therefore did jump -- and probably will never jump again. Dickens's "hope that in Harry's future career he will do us both justice" did come to fruition: Harry is generally considered to have been the most successful of the Dickens children becoming barrister Sir Henry Fielding Dickens K.C. Harry died in December 1933 when as was his custom he crossed a busy London street by raising his walking-stick rather than by looking both ways -- and was run over by a motorcycle. He was the last surviving Dickens child which is why Dickens's last book THE LIFE OF OUR LORD though written in 1846 was not published until early 1934 -- as Dickens had stipulated that it not be published until all his children had died. One final unrelated tidbit: on the very day after Dickens wrote this letter the last public hanging in Britain took place as the Capital Punishment Amendment Act took effect on the 29th; for decades but especially as revealed in his 1849 letters to The London Times Dickens had campaigned against public hangings -- not against the hangings themselves but against the public spectacles they had become.

1855144511855. Two pages 1st and 3rd of conjoined leaves on stationery with a faint blind-stamp at the upper corner. "Tavistock House Wednesday Tenth January 1855."<br/><br/> The text of Dickens's letter following "Dear Sir" is: I hope the opportunity you deserve will present itself naturally before very long. I cannot make an express appointment just now as I am quite uncertain whether I may be called out of town tomorrow or next day with Charles or on the business of placing him in some house of commerce. Besides which I have the Christmas holidays being over a fortnight's arrear of appointments to clear off. Your letter required no apology and is very agreeably done. Faithfully yours signed Charles Dickens. Francesco Berger 1834-1933 born in London of Italian and German parentage as a teen in 1848 traveled to Trieste his father's home city returning to England in 1855. He was trained as a pianist and composer and would go on to be a professor at the Royal Academy of Music and the 27-year Secretary of the Philharmonic Society. But look at the year he returned to England: 1855! -- the year of this letter January 10th. Although Berger would become a great friend of Charles Dickens and a frequent visitor at Tavistock House we believe that this letter might be Dickens's first to him with its formal "Dear Sir". Upon arriving in England Berger probably sent out "feelers" for musical commissions and this letter appears to be Dickens's polite declination. But this declination appears to have been temporary: look at what happened later in 1855 according to Berger's 1913 REMINISCENCES IMPRESSIONS & ANECDOTES: Everybody knows that Dickens was a fine Actor and that at one time he very nearly "took to the stage" as a vocation. He had "private theatricals" each Christmas-time in which he himself his family and intimate friends acted. In this circle he was spoken of as "the Manager" and his eldest son was known as "young Charles." In 1855 Wilkie Collins wrote a Play for one of these occasions called "The Lighthouse" and Dickens asked me to compose for it an original Overture and arrange the Incidental Music which I gladly undertook to do. For these performances Dickens had a theatre specially constructed in the rear of his house with proper footlights proper scenery proper curtain -- in fact no expense or trouble was spared to make the whole thing complete. I had a small but efficient Orchestra to conduct and presided at a Piano. The scenery was painted by Clarkson Stanfield R.A. The actors were Dickens Wilkie Collins Mark Lemon Augustus Egg Edward Hogarth Miss Hogarth and Mamie Dickens Dickens' elder daughter. There is indeed a famous photograph of about 25 members of the cast and crew either of "The Lighthouse" or of the next Dickens-Collins-Berger collaboration "The Frozen Deep" in 1857 showing all of the above-mentioned people including Berger but also including "young Charles" and his sister Kate who was married to Collins's brother -- with the elder Dickens lounging in the foreground. The letter is in fine condition blue ink slightly faded as is often the case. Provenance: from the renowned three-generation Dodge Family Autograph Collection. unknown books
1843429031843. Self-wrappers. Some age-toning. Writing clear & sharp. Very Good. Single sheet of light grey stationery folded once vertically to form 4 pages 24 lines ~ 85 words. 7-1/8" x 4-3/8" <br/><br/>D'Oyly writes Harley who was fairly close to Dickens at the time & for whom Dickens wrote The Strange Gentleman asking for an introduction to the rising star of the British literary world. "if you would be so kind as to give me a letter of introduction to Mr. Charles Dickens Boz that is to say provided you can so so without impropriety inserted above trouble for I have long wished to know him both from reading his inimitable works & also what I have heard of him personally." Evidently Harley did so for Dickens writes Harley on 6 April "Thank you very for consulting me in the matter of our friend's note. unidentified by Pilgrim letters editors He must be a rum customer I take it for he had written me before forwarding a book of Poems of his writing: the which I graciously acknowledged. Therefore I should thought he needed no other Introduction. Whatever you desire to do in the matter - do - and be assured it will please me." Pilgrim Letters v. 3 p. 468. Apparently the two did not meet at least in the early 1840s for according to Dickens' Letters 1840 - 1846 there is no correspondence with D'Oyly. unknown books
