DICKENS CHARLES
AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED
1 Devonshire Terrace London 1851. Hand-written letter measuring 4 1/2" x 7". Two horizontal folds to accommodate envelope for mailing. " 1 Devonshire Terrace Eighteenth January 1857. Dear Sir I have been visiting in the country or I should have answered your note sooner. I assure you that I feel under many obligations now and have to thank you for much kindness. I shall be glad to do so in person whenever you find such for time. Give me the opportunity. Faithfully yours Charles Dickens. addressee's name. Signed with Dickens' flourishing paraph. The letter and accompanying portrait were removed from an old frame and restored by a paper conservator.Mold was found on the reverse of the portrait with area of stain at foot of letter. Both were restored to their original conditions and left unframed in conservation papers. The work sheet of the conservator is included. Our research suggests that Dickens was visiting Gad's Hill in Kent when he said he had gone to the country as it was being renovated then retured to Devonshire Terrace for a short time before returning to Gad's Hill . He was also travelling extensively in Europe during this time. He used Gad's Hill as his country house until his death in 1870. I Devonshire Terrace was demolished in 1858-1859. A very nice example of a Dickens letter conserved and ready for framing. Letter of authentification is also included. unknown books

Dickens Charles
Autograph Letter Signed regarding his son Harry to The Rev. John M. Brackenbury
1868. One page on Gads Hill Place stationery dated 21 May 1868. The text of this letter reads: I am deeply gratified by your praises of Harry; and I dearly hope that in his future career he will do us both justice. Nothing will occur I trust to prevent my having the pleasure of giving away the prizes on the day of the Sports. I am sorry to say that my surgeon forms a far less hopeful view of Harry's accident than yours does. Faithfully yours always signed Charles Dickens The Rev. Brackenbury was the headmaster of Wimbledon School which Dickens's 19-year-old son Harry had attended since 1861 and as "Head Censor" was nearing the end of his final year before going up that fall to Trinity Hall Cambridge the only Dickens child to attend university. Henry Fielding Dickens was the eighth of Dickens's ten children -- named of course for one of Dickens's favorite authors Henry Fielding; it is said that CD wanted to name him for another author Oliver Goldsmith but worried that his son would be teased at school as "Oliver asking for more." Earlier that same month Dickens had returned from his "exhausting" five-month tour of North America. Although Dickens here tells Brackenbury that nothing should prevent him from giving away the Sports prizes on May 30th the Wimbledon prizes would in fact be handed out by someone else "in the unavoidable absence" of Charles Dickens; his sister-in-law Georgina Hogarth and his eldest daughter "Mamie" Dickens attended in his absence. As for "Harry's accident" referred to in the letter Dickens wrote about it the very next day in a letter to J.C. Parkinson: My boy is laid up at Wimbledon he is headboy there now and going up to Cambridge with a lamed knee. Having lamed it two years ago he was medically admonished not to jump -- of course therefore did jump -- and probably will never jump again. Dickens's "hope that in Harry's future career he will do us both justice" did come to fruition: Harry is generally considered to have been the most successful of the Dickens children becoming barrister Sir Henry Fielding Dickens K.C. Harry died in December 1933 when as was his custom he crossed a busy London street by raising his walking-stick rather than by looking both ways -- and was run over by a motorcycle. He was the last surviving Dickens child which is why Dickens's last book THE LIFE OF OUR LORD though written in 1846 was not published until early 1934 -- as Dickens had stipulated that it not be published until all his children had died. One final unrelated tidbit: on the very day after Dickens wrote this letter the last public hanging in Britain took place as the Capital Punishment Amendment Act took effect on the 29th; for decades but especially as revealed in his 1849 letters to The London Times Dickens had campaigned against public hangings -- not against the hangings themselves but against the public spectacles they had become. This letter documented in The Letters of Charles Dickens Vol 12 page 115 is in fine condition original fold-marks from mailing. unknown books

Dickens Charles
Autograph Letter Signed to composer "Mr. Francesco Berger.
1855. Two pages 1st and 3rd of conjoined leaves on stationery with a faint blind-stamp at the upper corner. "Tavistock House Wednesday Tenth January 1855."<br/><br/> The text of Dickens's letter following "Dear Sir" is: I hope the opportunity you deserve will present itself naturally before very long. I cannot make an express appointment just now as I am quite uncertain whether I may be called out of town tomorrow or next day with Charles or on the business of placing him in some house of commerce. Besides which I have the Christmas holidays being over a fortnight's arrear of appointments to clear off. Your letter required no apology and is very agreeably done. Faithfully yours signed Charles Dickens. Francesco Berger 1834-1933 born in London of Italian and German parentage as a teen in 1848 traveled to Trieste his father's home city returning to England in 1855. He was trained as a pianist and composer and would go on to be a professor at the Royal Academy of Music and the 27-year Secretary of the Philharmonic Society. But look at the year he returned to England: 1855! -- the year of this letter January 10th. Although Berger would become a great friend of Charles Dickens and a frequent visitor at Tavistock House we believe that this letter might be Dickens's first to him with its formal "Dear Sir". Upon arriving in England Berger probably sent out "feelers" for musical commissions and this letter appears to be Dickens's polite declination. But this declination appears to have been temporary: look at what happened later in 1855 according to Berger's 1913 REMINISCENCES IMPRESSIONS & ANECDOTES: Everybody knows that Dickens was a fine Actor and that at one time he very nearly "took to the stage" as a vocation. He had "private theatricals" each Christmas-time in which he himself his family and intimate friends acted. In this circle he was spoken of as "the Manager" and his eldest son was known as "young Charles." In 1855 Wilkie Collins wrote a Play for one of these occasions called "The Lighthouse" and Dickens asked me to compose for it an original Overture and arrange the Incidental Music which I gladly undertook to do. For these performances Dickens had a theatre specially constructed in the rear of his house with proper footlights proper scenery proper curtain -- in fact no expense or trouble was spared to make the whole thing complete. I had a small but efficient Orchestra to conduct and presided at a Piano. The scenery was painted by Clarkson Stanfield R.A. The actors were Dickens Wilkie Collins Mark Lemon Augustus Egg Edward Hogarth Miss Hogarth and Mamie Dickens Dickens' elder daughter. There is indeed a famous photograph of about 25 members of the cast and crew either of "The Lighthouse" or of the next Dickens-Collins-Berger collaboration "The Frozen Deep" in 1857 showing all of the above-mentioned people including Berger but also including "young Charles" and his sister Kate who was married to Collins's brother -- with the elder Dickens lounging in the foreground. The letter is in fine condition blue ink slightly faded as is often the case. Provenance: from the renowned three-generation Dodge Family Autograph Collection. unknown books

BARNABY RUDGE;
1841. A Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty. With Illustrations by George Cattermole and Hablot K. Browne. Complete in One Volume. London: Chapman and Hall 1841. Original blind-stamped olive green cloth. First Separate Edition. After NICHOLAS NICKLEBY was published in monthly serial parts with separate plates in 1838-1839 Dickens decided that his future novels would be published in weekly serial parts that included the illustrations within the text -- loosely connected under the title of MASTER HUMPHREY'S CLOCK. He began this project in April 1840 with his tale THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP; after forty-plus parts he completed that tale and swung into the beginning of BARNABY RUDGE. In November 1841 after a total of 88 weekly parts BARNABY RUDGE was complete. During this serialization MASTER HUMPHREY'S CLOCK containing both novels was also published in three volumes one at a time; after serialization in December 1841 each novel was also published separately in one volume as with BARNABY RUDGE here. This is why the pagination of BARNABY RUDGE is odd -- with the text running from page 229 to page 306 second half of Vol II of MH'sC then from page 1 to page 420 Vol III. At the conclusion of BARNABY RUDGE Dickens abandoned this weekly method of plate-less serialization and reverted to his prior method with MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT. This copy is in the binding variant noted by Smith of olive green fine-diaper cloth blind-stamped with a chain-like design running around the border's inner surface as was later used on DOMBEY AND SON. The original endpapers are peach-coated -- one of several colors to be found without known priority. The volume is in very good condition with a bit of wear at the extremities of the spine and along the lower edges. The delicate original endpapers are only slightly cracked. Tough to find in better condition. Smith I pp 61-2. <br/><br/> hardcover books

First edition of this compilation and the first magazine appearance of Oliver Twist with all of the plates many oxidized. Five octavo volumes. Measures 220 x 137 mm. Early brown cloth blindstamped on covers and gilt-stamped on spines. All edges gilt. Spines stained with what looks like to be a sticker remnants that turned black. Otherwise a very good set of this scarce compilation. "Preface. There is much in Bentley's Miscellany that is good. The "Contributions by Boz" presented here "Oliver Twist" "Jack Sheppard" "Guy Fawkes" "Ingoldsby Legends" "Nights at Sea" and other stories Illustrated by George Cruikshank and John Leech are undoubtedly the best. To collect such into separate books direct from the Miscellany appeared to me desirable inasmuch as in any other form they are but re-issues of these now famous combinations of literature and art.

BLEAK HOUSE
1853. in the primary cloth binding With Illustrations by Hablot. K. Browne. London: Bradbury and Evans 1853. Original blind-stamped olive green cloth all page edges gilt.<br/><br/> First Edition in book form following issuance in 20-in-19 monthly parts of Dickens's famous novel that attacks Chancery the London legal system. Included are forty plates by "Phiz" of which ten are "dark plates" made possible by a new procedure. This copy is still in the original cloth binding -- the primary one with blind-stamping that includes 16 little beads around each cover's outer margin. An ad in the final serial part urged customers to either a buy the book in this binding for one guinea £1/1s/0d or b take their serial parts to "their Booksellers" to arrange for the parts to be bound up in this binding for 1s/6d. This copy -- bound without the half-title and of course without all the ads -- is from the latter option as one can see the parts' stab-holes; the owner of these parts paid extra though to have gilding added to the page edges. Condition is good-to-very good -- actually near-fine except for the rear joint where there is wear along the rear joint and a little at the spine ends though no cloth is missing and nothing new other than glue has been added. The pale-yellow endpapers are original though substantially cracked at the gutter again glued in place so all is tight. Lastly all forty plates are present but as is often the case they are browned at the outer margin and some have moderate foxing; as always the spine is sunned to a honey brown -- unavoidable with olive green cloth. These hefty octavo Dickens volumes this one is 624 pages not including the plates were much too heavy for their delicate cloth and endpapers -- which is why the vast majority of copies have been rebound; in our experience BLEAK HOUSE is considerably more difficult to find in original cloth than in serial parts. With Inspector Bucket investigating BLEAK HOUSE is a Haycraft-Queen "Cornerstone" of Detective Crime & Mystery Fiction; the book first appeared on the screen as a silent film in 1920 and more recently 2005 as a British TV mini-series.
