Dickens Charles
Dealings with the Firm of DOMBEY AND SON
1846. a remarkably fine set Wholesale Retail and for Exportation. With Illustrations by H. K. Browne beginning with the 6th part: With Illustrations engraved on Wood by J. W. Orr from designs by H. K. Browne. New York: Wiley and Putnam beginning with the 18th part: John Wiley 1846-1848. Twenty monthly parts in nineteen in the original brownish-grey wrappers printed in black.<br/><br/> First American Edition in the original parts. The English parts ran from October 1846 through April 1848 and each Wiley & Putnam part was issued immediately after its English counterpart. As Wilkins observes "At the bottom of the first page of each number was printed 'The Illustrations for this Number will be given with the Next' the text probably being set in type as soon as the English number was received and printed at once without waiting for the engraving of the plates for that number so that the plates were always one number behind the text. The Phiz plates were redrawn and engraved on wood by J. W. Orr and it is remarkable how closely the spirit of the original etchings was reproduced in wood engravings." The Wiley & Putnam parts contain a total of 36 plates two in each part except for the first; not included were the four plates that accompanied the English 19/20th part because of the one-month lag in reproducing the engravings . Part I includes a title page and the final part includes the other preliminaries necessary to facilitate the binding of the parts into two volumes 38 plates are listed in these preliminary leaves: the final two were later available upon application to the publisher. Two other American publishers also issued DOMBEY in parts. Bradbury & Guild of Boston issued a very similar set of parts likewise with 36 plates running a month behind in wrappers that were exact facsimiles of the English ones. Priority between this issue and the Wiley & Putnam one is unknown as it probably was measured in hours not days. Lea & Blanchard of Philadelphia also issued parts but not as quickly: they waited for plates to be engraved so that all 40 could be included they advertised it as "the only edition which presents the plates accompanying the text to which they refer." This is A REMARKABLY FINE SET. Most of the parts are virtually flawless other than trifling wear at the very tips of the spine; Part I has a chip in its rear wrapper and Parts XV and XVII have minor wear at the spine but overall the condition of this set is amazing. The rarity of American Dickens in parts can hardly be over-emphasized; it is no exaggeration that one encounters hundreds of English sets in parts for every single American set of parts. Housed in a morocco-backed slipcase bearing the wrong date and inner chemise. Podeschi Yale A104; Wilkins p. 25. unknown books

DICKENS' NEW STORIES first U.S. edition of "The Seven Poor Travellers"
1855. Containing: The Seven Poor Travellers. Nine New Stories by the Christmas Fire. Hard Times. With a Portrait of the Author engraved on steel. Philadelphia: T.B. Peterson n.d. 1855. Original dark brown cloth blind-stamped with spine vignette in gilt. First Edition so collected first issue in the dark brown binding with spine vignette in gilt "T.B. Peterson" at the foot of the spine and 102 Chestnut Street as the title page address. Although the volume consists of six works "by Dickens" the last three are not "Lizzie Leigh" "The Miner's Daughters" and "Fortune Wildred". The first two pieces in the volume which really do involve Dickens are "The Seven Poor Travellers" and "Nine New Stories by the Christmas Fire": these were the "Extra Christmas Numbers" of Dickens's periodical Household Words for 1854 and 1853 respectively. "Nine New Stories" is the American title for "Another Round of Stories": of the stories Dickens himself wrote "The Schoolboy's Story" and "Nobody's Story." For "The Seven Poor Travellers" this constitutes the first American edition published soon after it came out in London for Christmas 1854; Dickens himself wrote "the First Poor Traveller" and "The Road." Finally Dickens's novel HARD TIMES is also included in this volume in its entirety; it had been serialized in Household Words during 1854 and this is a very early but not first American edition of it. This copy is in near-fine condition very light wear at the spine ends. See Podeschi D25. unknown books

Dickens Charles
Dombey and Son Extra-illustrated
London: Bradbury and Evans 1848. First edition. Near Fine. Finely bound by Morrell in three-quarter green morocco all edges gilt spines with intricate details and raised bands marbled end papers. An excellent copy overall with four additional portrait plates bound in depicting characters from the novel.<br/><br/>Dombey and Son tackles a number of key themes that appear throughout Dickens' authorial career -- concerns about family duty class position child welfare and the dangers of arranged marriages in particular. As the titular Dombey builds his shipping company he fantasizes that his son will someday take over the business and continue his legacy. But England is changing rapidly due to the effects of industrialization and its effects ripple throughout Victorian culture. One symbol of industrialization's promise and its perils is the railroad. In chapter six Dickens calls the railroad's impact a "great earthquake." Dombey and Son grapples with the effects of industrialization and the railroad is one of the novel's symbols for this momentous era. Near Fine. Bradbury and Evans unknown books
