It was written by Dickens when he was twenty-four and its publication placed the author on a solid foundation from which he never was removed. It is quite probable that only ShakespeareÃs Works the Bible and perhaps the English Prayer Book exceed "Pickwick Papers" in circulation" Eckel 17. "Never was a book received with more rapturous enthusiasm than that which greeted the Pickwick Papers!" Allibone I:500.

39585London: Published by B. Pollock 73 Hoxton Street Hoxton n. d. 1st printing thus. Cf. Gimbel C35; Suzanette Catalogue E.35 showing this illustration; Suzanette TREASURES 30 also showing this image; VanderPoel B1091 all for the entire publication. Now housed in an archival mylar sleeve. Age-toning to paper. Small loss at two right corners. Very Good. Single sheet printed recto only. Wood engraved printing with 7 characters from Dickens' novel. Oriented horizontally: 6-5/8" x 8-1/4" <br/><br/>Item appears to be a leaftet-type advertiser for Pollock's work initially published by Redington and ostensibly the only juvenile dramatization of Dickens' work cf. Suzanette TREASURES. Estimated date of publication varies from authority to authority. VanderPoel gives c. 1839; Gimbel 1860 and the copy auctioned by Christies for the Self sale was described as "Post - 1876". We subscribe to this last as Redington's theatrical publishing firm was taken over by Benjamin Pollock in 1876 after Pollock married Redington's daughter. Pollock reissued many of Redington's plays with his own imprint as did many of the publishers until his death in 1937. Cf. Speaight G. History of the English Toy Theatre 1969 ed. p. 149 191-192.

Original blind-stamped red cloth.<br/><br/> First Complete American Edition issued as No. LXIII in Wiley & Putnam's "Library of Choice Reading" -- available either in wrappers on its own or bound in red cloth together with Mrs. Jameson's MEMOIRS AND ESSAYS as here. During 1846 seven letters from Dickens in Italy were published in The Daily News in London and in America Wiley & Putnam jumped on them and published them in two wrappered parts titled TRAVELLING LETTERS WRITTEN ON THE ROAD -- the only such book edition on either side of the Atlantic and extremely scarce today. Later that year Dickens polished up the letters and added considerably to their number creating the U.K. volume PICTURES FROM ITALY published on May 18th; Wiley & Putnam quickly issued this corresponding American edition on June 8th followed "a day or two" Smith later by William Colyer's edition. Condition of this copy is very good: the original endpapers are intact but there is some wear along the outer joints though the book is tight. Smith pp 77-80 including photographs of this copy; Podeschi Yale A100 listing only a copy in wrappers; Carr Texas B495 likewise; Wilkins p. 28. Provenance: the front paste-down bears a college bookplate and a number is stamped onto the copyright page; the front free endpaper bears the penciled signature of Dickens bibliographer Walter Smith. unknown books

1846107031846. London: Bradbury & Evans 1846. 2 pp undated ads. Original blind-stamped blue cloth. First Edition of Dickens's account of his 1844 tour of Italy. His description of the coaching trips which took him from place to place for five months is full of wonderful observations of his fellow-men. His account of a public execution in Rome is remarkable -- his emotional reaction is held firmly in control but revulsion at the whole proceeding is implicit in every line CGEL This copy is in the primary fine-diaper cloth binding; copies were also issued in ribbed cloth of the same color. This is a very good copy with little wear but with some soil on the covers; the endpapers are old but not original. The front flyleaf bears the penciled signature of Walter Smith bibliographer of Dickens. Smith II pp 44-58. unknown books
