Three separately published works. <br/> Oliver Twist in publisher's purple-brown cloth smooth spine with gilt title and depiction of Oliver; "Nicholas Nickleby" in original tan paper boards backed with dark brown buckram smooth spine with paper label; "American Notes" in original brown paper wrappers printed in black in modern green buckram chemise and slipcase red morocco label.

Miller/ Dickensiana to the front pastedown additionally with the pencilled ownership inscription "J. B. Finlay Esq. Woodlea Saratoga Springs New York 1864" and an additional ink ownership inscription "Beekman Finlay" to the front flyleaf. "Nicholas Nickleby" with illegible early ink inscription to the front flyleaf. "American Notes" with the early ink ownership inscription of Marshall Whittemore and the pencilled inscription of M. A. Lebbette to the title. Oliver Twist: Wilkins p. 15; Podeschi A31. "Nicholas Nickelby": Podeschi A43; Wilkins p. 17. "American Notes": Podeschi A67; Wilkins p. 24. Bindings rather sunned; "Notes" with the wrappers a bit chipped and soiled "Notes" also rather foxed internally because of poor paper quality though the other two works generally quite clean scattered light stains plates with overall mild toning other trivial defects but all still perfectly acceptable in their solid unrestored original bindings.<br/> <br/> This is a pleasing group of three early American Dickens printings all in their original publisher's bindings and well preserved when considering the poor state of bookmaking in the United States at the time. Of "Oliver" one of the author's most famous works Day says "the novel's lasting achievement is the symbolic power of the dark underwolrd of the poor. The pitiful figure of Oliver holding out his little bowl and asking for more is an ineradicable symbol of all the needy children in the world pleading for sustenance. In such universalizing lies the magic of Dickens." The work first appeared in America in two volumes published by Lea & Blanchard previously Carey Lea and Blanchard in 1838-39. Our single volume edition followed shortly in 1839 initially in a state containing only two frontispiece etchings and shortly after with the full 24 as here. This copy which retains the original ads before and after the text is from the library of an important Dickens scholar: William Miller was a founding member of the Dickens Fellowship and helped create their journal "Dickensiana." He published a Dickens bibliography "The Dickens Student and Collector" in 1946 and had a large collection of Dickens' works and related ephemera particularly focusing on musical adaptations of Dickens' works. Our copy also belonged to John Beekman Finlay 1810-69 an early president of the First National Bank of Saratoga Springs and a justice of the peace. "Nicholas Nickleby" written during the same period as "Oliver" follows the eponymous character's attempts to get by and to protect his virtuous sister Kate from poverty suitors with evil motives and the pair's cartoonishly cruel uncle Ralph. Day writes that while the plot is "rather hopeless" in this novel "Dickens creates some of the most extraordinary scenes in English literature" with deliciously comic and highly theatrical juxtapositions of character and scene. Originally released in 20 parts by Lea & Blanchard from 1838-39 the present version is the first complete edition released in the United States. Apparently two concurrent states were released one with all 39 of the Phiz illustrations and the second as in our copy with two frontispiece illustrations only. The third work here is probably the most unfavorably received of all of Dickens' books particularly in the States. "Notes" reflects the hearty dislike the author developed for America during his tour there in the winter and spring of 1842. He was disgusted with the Americans' rough-hewn lack of sophistication and especially with the toleration of slavery and the book clearly shows his antipathy. Ours was one of three editions released in November of 1842; there is some disagreement about which of these is truly the first American edition but they all were issued within a few days of each other.

18563459n.p.: n.p. 1856. Hardcover. Fair. This quarto-sized scrapbook in green cloth over boards was manufactured c. 1850 by Eayrs & Fairbanks No. 133 Washington St. Boston. It is about half full of contemporary news clippings affixed with paste. The scrapbooker did not comment on them with the exception of one instruction to "See the loose piece."The first 40 pages are from 1856-1857. The majority of articles deal with slavery especially political events in the Kansas Territory "Bleeding Kansas" the Dred Scott Case and President James Buchanan. The first clipping is from Feb. 9 1856 and details a pro-slavery meeting in Missouri addressed by David Atchison. The last clipping in this section is from April 24 1857 and reports on Stanton's speech at Lawrence Kansas.After a break of three blank pages the scrapbook resumes with news of Reconstruction from June 30 1868. There are 6 more pages of eclectica: political news clippings interspersed with a poem by Whittier and advice on How to Keep the Feet Dry.While the scrapbook is unsigned it can be tentatively identified with the Orton family since the last page contains an 1868 20th reunion announcement from the Hamilton College class of 1848 along with 1868 clippings from southwestern Ohio newspapers including the Springfield Ohio Republic. The only surviving member of that class residing near the Dayton-Springfield area is Prof. Edward Orton Sr. Yellow Springs OH where he was president of Antioch College. The 1850s clippings come mostly from New York newspapers particularly the Tribune and the Orton family was living in Chester Orange County NY at that time.Orton went on to become the first President of the Ohio State University from 1873 to 1881.The scrapbook is in fair condition; the pages and paper have held up remarkably well. However the spine is mostly detached and the binding is weak at several signatures. 003477 n.p. hardcover
