1854143931854. in Two Volumes. Boston: Jenks Hickling & Swan 1854. Original blind-stamped dark brown cloth with gilt-decorated spines. Early American edition just possibly the first complete one. Since Harper published the two volumes of its edition separately in March 1853 and in March 1854 so dated on the title pages it is considered to be the first American edition. The date in 1854 when these two Boston volumes were published is unknown so it is possible that this two-volume Boston edition came out earlier in 1854 than Harper's second volume. Jenks Hickling & Swan was a very "fluid" enterprise at the time such that their 1856 and 1857 two-volumes-in-one printings would be by Hickling Swan & Brown and their 1861 two-in-one printing would be by Swan Brewer & Tileston. This set is in very good-plus condition a few small holes in the cloth mainly at extremities or at joints; the gilt on the spines is unusually bright. Smith pp 116-119; Carr UTexas B500 in blue cloth; not cited by Podeschi. Provenance: both front free endpapers bear not only a contemporary signature but also the penciled signature of Dickens bibliographer Walter Smith; in fact this very copy is the one pictured on pages 117 and 118 of his book. unknown books

Internally clean and unmarked. Housed in a custom quarter morocco slipcase with chemise. A superior copy accompanied by an early James F. Drake description.<br/><br/>As the only book Dickens wrote specifically for children it occupies a unique place in his' oeuvre. "Dickens' intention for the book was made manifest in the dedication at the beginning of the first volume to his 'own dear children: Whom I hope it may help bye-and-bye to read with interest larger and better books on the same subject.' This makes the purpose clear. Dickens did not intend the book to supplant or rival those books by Keightley or Macaulay that preceded it. The book rather is intended by Dickens as an exciting or interesting study of the subject which will whet his children's -- and other children's -- appetites for English history and is designed to act as a springboard to discovery" Tearle. Thus while Dickens doesn't break new ground in uncovering or analyzing history he uses his novelistic abilities to make past figures feel more real more exciting and more present and to cast long-ago events as relevant to life in his own time.
