Original self-wrappers first four and blue printed wrappers last five -- as issued.<br/> <br/> First Editions of all nine "Extra Christmas Numbers" of this periodical that Charles Dickens founded and edited for its nine years of existence. Previously he had likewise founded Household Words which likewise lasted nine years -- and which has nine Extra Christmas Numbers as well. In addition to editing these tales Dickens also wrote a portion of them -- specifically per Eckel: Christmas 1859: THE HAUNTED HOUSE. Dickens wrote "The Mortals in the House" "The Ghost in Master B's Room" and "The Ghost in the Corner Room" as well as most of the other opening paragraphs. Christmas 1860: A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA. Dickens wrote Chapters I II and V plus passages in the others; the rest is by Wilkie Collins. Christmas 1861: TOM TIDDLER'S GROUND. Dickens wrote Chapters I VI and VII. Christmas 1862: SOMEBODY'S LUGGAGE. Dickens wrote "His Leaving It Til Called For" "His Boots" "His Brown-Paper Parcel" "His Wonderful End" plus part of "His Umbrella." Christmas 1863: MRS. LIRRIPER'S LODGINGS. Dickens wrote Chapters I and VII. Christmas 1864: MRS. LIRRIPER'S LEGACY. Dickens again wrote Chapters I and VII. Christmas 1865: DR. MARIGOLD'S PRESCRIPTIONS. Dickens wrote Chapters I VI and VIII. Christmas 1866: MUGBY JUNCTION. Dickens wrote "Barbox Brothers" "Barbox Brothers and Co." "Main Line" and "No. 1 Branch Line." Christmas 1867: NO THOROUGHFARE. Dickens wrote the Overture Act III plus parts of Act I and Act IV; Wilkie Collins wrote the rest. As for condition all nine issues are near-fine just some very minor wear to the edges the last with a damp-mark at the top of the front wrapper; the fourth eighth and ninth annual issues still have unopened leaves. The last one includes the loosely-inserted ad leaf for the Grand Christmas Number of the periodical "London Society." It is very tough to assemble all nine of these in this condition.

1860ST20687London 1860. FIRST EDITION; one copy First Issue the other second issue. 188 x 130 mm. 7 3/8 x 5". Two copies. <br/> Original purple and pink paper wrappers respectively. Laid into an attractive emerald green morocco chemise covers framed with a French fillet elaborate volute cornerpieces accented with pomegranate and floral tools with a floral spray extending from the center its three flowers inlaid in maroon and gold morocco cornerpieces vertically connected with a dotted roll and lozenge tool front cover with gilt title flat spine lettered in gilt with floral sprays at head and tail turn-ins elaborately gilt with lilac floral jacquard doublures. In the apparently original rather worn green silk slipcase with gilt titling on both covers. The second issue with the fabric-backed first publication in "Household Words" tipped in at the rear. With a typed description from Alwin J. Scheuer laid in. Eckel pp. 188-91. Both copies with the wrappers slightly soiled but the delicate bindings holding firm; the first issue with a vertical crease through the center; the second issue with a three-inch closed tear to the front cover and a three-quarter inch closed tear to the rear cover otherwise very fine copies entirely clean and fresh internally.<br/> <br/> This is a complete little grouping that comprises the three versions of a short Dickens piece written about and then later used on behalf of St. Luke's Hospital a mental institution with a focus on serving the poor--with the three pieces offered here in a highly ornamental chemise. Dickens composed "Curious Dance" following a Christmastime visit to St. Luke's with his account of that visit released in his weekly journal "Household Words" on January 17 1852. Largely sympathetic to the hospital itself Dickens noted how far treatment had come since the previous century's approach to mental health care a time when "nothing was too monstrously cruel to be prescribed." Despite that progress Dickens was moved by the sorry state of the patients and the present account is used as a plea for greater public awareness for the suffering of the insane. Eight years later the hospital management with Dickens' permission published "Curious Dance" as a pamphlet in a fundraising effort. There are two distinct issues to the edition: the first in purple wrappers has a period after "Tree" in the title and no variation to the type in the text; the second in pink wrappers has a comma after "Tree" and the final seven lines of page 19 are in bold type. These final lines were the hospital's exhortation for donations apparently the plain type in the first issue had not had the desired financial return. Our offering includes both of these as well as the original "Household Words" article tipped into the latter issue. Given the fragility of the three items the condition here is extremely appealing--not to mention the attractive chemise that provides their protective presentation context. unknown
1860150841860. London: St. Luke's Hospital 1860. Original pale pink wrappers with original narrow "one penny" envelope.<br/> <br/> First Edition second and usual issue. Dickens describes the wretched conditions inside St. Luke's Hospital "established in 1751 for the treatment and care of lunatics" and in particular the "very sad and touching spectacle" of the annual Christmas Ball there dancing around the Christmas tree. He actually wrote the original piece in 1852 at which time it appeared in his Household Words Dickens's authorship was questioned until 1913 when the original manuscript -- in his hand -- turned up. It is here published in book form for the first time eight years later when Dickens gave permission for the hospital to use it as a fundraising appeal. The hospital added two items to update the piece: an article about the 1860 Ball from the "Times" plus a brief article "Contrast between 1852 and 1860" in which the hospital asserts that many of the deficiencies cited by Dickens have since been addressed. The results of the initial mailing were not good -- which is why for this second issue the final paragraph the actual appeal was highlighted in bold. This second issue not only has the final paragraph in bold it also has a pink wrapper not mauve -- though all are today faded it has the front cover title followed by a comma not by a period and it has a front cover border decorative only at the corners not all 'round. This is a fine copy of this very fragile item with scarcely any wear soil or foxing; as usual the pink wrappers have faded. As with almost all copies there is a vertical crease because the booklet was folded vertically when the fundraising appeal was mailed out in narrow envelopes. Included with this copy is the original unaddressed narrow envelope with "Postage One Penny" in the corner. Since it is exactly the size to fit within the folded booklet and a little too small to fit around the folded booklet it is our belief that this was the envelope for the hoped-for postage-paid contribution. It is extremely uncommon. Podeschi Yale B216 second copy; Carr U of Texas B465; Eckel pp 188-191. Housed in a morocco-backed clamshell case with inner chemise. unknown
1860162424London: St Luke's Hospital 1860. The Suzannet copy First edition first issue the superlative Suzannet copy with his bookplate to chemise and sold in his 1971 sale lot 123. The Dickens collection of Comte Alain de Suzannet 1882-1950 ranks as one of if not the finest Dickens libraries ever assembled. His books are renowned for their quality and much sought after. The sketch was first published in Household Words 17 January 1852 and is here published as a pamphlet by the management of St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics as a means of soliciting donations. The first issue is distinguished by a period after "tree" on the front wrapper and the final text paragraph being in regular type; for the second issue the period was replaced by a comma and the final paragraph was printed in bold. It has long been a desirable element of any comprehensive Dickens collection though is very elusive in collectable condition and few surviving copies can be as fine as this copy. Octavo 20 pp. Original pale purple wrappers printed in black. Housed in red cloth chemise within red half morocco box. Central crease else a fine copy. Eckel p. 188; Gimbel B216. hardcover
186096189London: St. Lukes Hospital 1860. First edition first issue of Charles Dickens' article on Saint Luke's Hospital "for the gratuitous treatment of the insane poor." Octavo loosely bound in wrappers. In near fine condition. Housed in a custom full morocco and chemise pull-off box. Rare. Dickens' A Curious Dance Round a Curious Tree was published by St. Luke's Hospital in 1860 to raise funds for their Hospital for Lunatics. The volume contains a sketch about a visit to St. Luke's at Christmas by Dickens along with another piece he wrote about the hospital from an unsigned article in the London Times. St. Lukes Hospital unknown
1860144211860. London: St. Luke's Hospital 1860. Original pale pink wrappers.<br/> <br/> First Edition second and usual issue -- with the final paragraph in bold not like the rest of the text with the wrapper pink not mauve -- though all are today faded with the front cover title followed by a comma not by a period and with the front cover border decorative only at the corners not all 'round. Dickens describes the wretched conditions inside St. Luke's Hospital "established in 1751 for the treatment and care of lunatics" and in particular the "very sad and touching spectacle" of the annual Christmas Ball there dancing around the Christmas tree. He actually wrote the original piece in 1852 at which time it appeared in his Household Words Dickens's authorship was questioned until 1913 when the original manuscript -- in his hand -- turned up. It is here published in book form for the first time eight years later when Dickens gave permission for the hospital to use it as a fundraising appeal.

The results of the initial mailing were not good -- which is why for this second issue the final paragraph the actual appeal was highlighted in bold. This is a fine copy of this very fragile item with scarcely any wear soil or foxing; as usual the pink wrappers have faded. Tipped to a corner of the inside front wrapper is an old but hyperbolic catalogue description. As with almost all copies there is a vertical crease because the booklet was folded vertically when the fundraising appeal was mailed out in narrow envelopes. Uncommon in this condition. Podeschi Yale B216 second copy; Carr U of Texas B465; Eckel pp 188-191. Housed in a cloth clamshell case lined with felt. unknown

Together with the original stamped and addressed envelope for the return of donations tipped-in at the end. In this second issue the appeal for funds was emphasized by placing the final paragraph in bold text and it included a stamped and addressed envelope for the return of donations. The sketch was first published in Household Words 17 January 1852 and here published as a pamphlet by the management of St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics as a means of soliciting donations. Octavo 20 pp. Original pink wrappers printed in black expertly rebacked. Housed in a custom black solander cloth box printed paper label to spine. Traces of vertical fold otherwise a particularly fine copy. Eckel p. 188; Gimbel B216. hardcover
