Her aspirations toward literature resulted in this modest volume of poetry which she decicated to "Charles Dickens" a gesture the Inimitable accepted with 'great pleasure'. <br /> <br />This particular copy comes from a prominent Detroit businessman's collection gathered in the 1920s and only now 100 years later coming onto the market. hardcover books

She was best known for her performance in the hippodrama Mazeppa with a climax that featured her apparently nude and riding a horse on stage. After great success for a few years with the play in New York and San Francisco she appeared in a production in London and Paris from 1864 to 1866. After a brief trip back to the United States she returned to Europe. However she became ill within two years and died in Paris at the age of 33." Wiki. This minor literary effort by the famous actress was dedicated to Charles Dickens. The frontispiece is facsimile of letter from Dickens to Menken thanking her for the honor. J. B.

1877144221877. or Something Singular. A Comic Burletta in One Act. Boston: James R. Osgood and Company 1877. Original green cloth decorated in black. First "Collectible" Edition being a volume in Osgood's diminutive "Vest-Pocket Series." We say first "collectible" edition of this play first performed in 1837 because the only known copy of the first edition from which Osgood printed this edition was destroyed in the Boston fire of 1879 and there are only five known copies three of which are in institutions of the wrappered second edition London circa 1869-1871. This copy is in bright green cloth; others are in terra-cotta cloth without priority. It is a fine bright copy -- the only flaw being a short closed tear in the edge of the front free endpaper the front paste-down bears the armorial bookplate of Courtenay F. Wilson 1841-1915. Podeschi Yale B62; Eckel pp 159-161. Housed in a magnificent full-morocco clamshell case lined in velvet and silk moiré that bears the gilt monogram S&S the binder Sangorski & Sutcliffe. <br/><br/> hardcover books
23118Dickens Charles. IS SHE HIS WIFE Boston: James R. Osgood 1877. First American edition first state of binding with correct monogram. Original terra cotta cloth gilt. Mild rubbing at spine ends a couple of stray marks but a very good bright copy of this scarce "comic burletta." In 1876 James T. Fields acquired the only known copy of the original 1837 edition and used it to produce this edition; his unique copy was destroyed when his library burned in December 1879. A British reprint itself rarely seen appeared in 1883. This volume was part of Osgood's 102 volume vest-pocket series which included Twain's rare A TRUE STORY and several Hawthorne Emerson and Lowell titles that are also seldom seen. Books in this series were published only in terra cotta or green cloth with no priority between the two colors and the print runs ran from 500 to 1250 copies per title.

187766292First Obtainable Printing of "Is She His Wife or Something Singular" DICKENS Charles. Is She His Wife or Something Singular. A Comic Burletta in One Act. Boston: James R. Osgood and Company 1877. First obtainable printing. Sixteenmo. 80pp. Original brown cloth decoratively blocked in black and blind lettered in gilt and black. Off-white endpapers printed in red. A fine bright copy. Housed in a custom maroon cloth slipcase black morocco label on spine gilt-stamped. Apparently no copy exists of the first 1837 edition of this play Dickensà third published play first performed 6 March 1837; this is the only published work by Dickens to which this situation applies. The Gimbel collection has playbills for performances on 13 March and 6 April 1837. Eckel mentions that the only known copy of this edition was at Osgood for their 1877 reprint and was subsequently destroyed in a fire there in 1879. A census in Eckel finds only three extant copies of the 1873 British reprint. Thus the Osgood reprint of 1877 is the first obtainable printing of this piece. The Gimbel collection does have a copy of the 1873 English probably the one mentioned by Eckel as lacking the back wrapper; the extensive McQuire collection of American Dickens did not have a copy; Vander Poel had both green and brick cloth variants of the 1877 as did Gimbel.

18775498.2Boston: James R. Osgood & Co 1877. Green decorative cloth w/ gilt lettering on front board/decorations stamped inblack. 'Vest Pocket Series' red advert eps. 3rd edition Eckel p. 159; Gimbel B62; VanderPoel B5301. Not in Welsh though see #2371 MR NIGHTINGALE'S DIARY also published in this 'Vest Pocket' series. VG modest extremity wear. 80 pp. 2 prefatory woodcut vignettes. 16mo. <br/><br/>According to Eckel the only known copy of the first edition perished in an 1879 fire; the second edition published in the early 1870s is known by only a few extant copies so if one in one's lifetime is to have this title represented in one's Dickens' collection this will be the edition most likely to be found.
