Our Mutual Friend In the Original Monthly Parts and with the Rare Misprint in Part 10 Advertiser Page 13
London May 1864-November 1865: Chapman & Hall. First Edition. Original Wraps. In the original monthly parts 20 parts in 19. Original green printed wrappers; ALL wrappers are correct. ALL the ads called for by Hatton & Cleaver are present except for the rare ad "The Economic Life Assurance Society" following the plates in part 14. FIRST ISSUE of the wrappers without the imprint at the foot of front wrapper of part 1. In the Advertiser of part 10 Hatton & Cleaver states "In a few copies seen p. 13 was misprinted "31." The present copy has this misprint. The plates are very good to fine; the text and wrappers are clean and bright and without repair. Part 15 with text unopened. Most spines are expertly and invisibly renewed. Our Mutual Friend has more of the Advertiser ads than any of Dickens' other works having 320 pages and 89 insets and slips in the rear of the parts. Altogether a brilliant set lacking just one rare ad and having the first issue points in the wrappers and a rare misprint in the Advertiser of part 10. This fine set is the best we are likely to find and it has a pedigree - it is from the famed Thomas Hatton & Cleaver collection. Housed in a handsome green 3/4 leather solander pull-off-top slipcase with chemise. <br/><br/> Chapman & Hall paperback books

PICTURES FROM ITALY
1846. New-York: Wiley & Putnam 1846. 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

"Never was a book received with more rapturous enthusiasm than that which greeted the Pickwick Papers!" Allibone I:500.

SKETCHES BY BOZ
1837. illustrative of Every-Day Life and Every-Day People. Being a Continuation of "Watkins Tottle and Other Sketches." Philadelphia: Carey Lea & Blanchard 1837. Original drab boards with rose cloth spine and printed label. First American Edition consisting of 1250 copies issued in February 1837. These are the twelve pieces that had been published in England two months earlier as "The Second Series" of SKETCHES BY BOZ. As is evident from this book's sub-title this Philadelphia firm had published the "First Series" of SKETCHES BY BOZ as WATKINS TOTTLE and Other Sketches nine months earlier. Later in 1837 Carey Lea & Blanchard reprinted this volume with the addition of "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" and "The Pantomime of Life" under the title THE TUGGS'S AT RAMSGATE AND OTHER SKETCHES. This is a very good copy there is wear along the edges of the spine and the spine label is rubbed but wholly legible -- but this extremely fragile volume has held up very well for the past 180 years; the faint remnants of a shelf label are visible at the top of the spine and there is an old ink-stamped name at the top of the title page. Podeschi Yale A9; Wilkins had seen only the later reprint but noted "there had evidently been an earlier issue. unknown books

Sketches by Boz
London: Chapman and Hall 1839 New edition. Illustrated with 40 engraved plates by George Cruikshank. Finely bound in contemporary three-quarter dark green calf marbled boards and page edges spine titled and elaborately stamped in gilt. Very good with wear and rubbing to spine ends edges and boards frontispiece with repaired tear some foxing to frontis and plates. Overall a very attractive bright and very clean copy. This collection of fiction first published as a series of short pieces in The Monthly Magazine and other periodicals was re-issued in book form in 1836 and stands as Dickens's first foray into authorship. The pieces were penned under Dickens's pseudonym "Boz" and offer insight into his observations of the streets of Victorian London and its inhabitants. The humorous and unforgiving social critique includes chapters such as "Thoughts about People" a grim take on the life of a working man in London as one that "cannot be said to be forgotten when he dies for no one remembered him when he was alive" and "The Broker's Man" a long lament by a character called Mr. Bung on the trials he faces working for a broker. The original two-volume set and its later-published third volume were illustrated by notable political cartoonist and illustrator of the time George Cruikshank who worked closely with Dickens to portray each character and scene exactly as he envisioned them. Sketches marked the beginning of many of Dickens's professional relationships which ultimately led to his rise to the prominence he holds today. Hard Cover. Very Good. Illus. by Cruikshank George. London: Chapman and Hall hardcover books

SKETCHES BY BOZ Near Fine Example of the First "Cheap" Edition in Original Cloth
London: Chapman & Hall 1850. Dickens Charles. SKETCHES BY BOZ. Frontispiece by George Cruikshank. London: Chapman & Hall 1850. Original blind-stamped green publisher's cloth with spines elaborately decorated in gilt. First "Cheap" Edition actually volume 8 of the first and most important collected works of Dickens with a new 1pp introduction by Dickens and a specially commissioned new frontispiece. Begun in 1847 with writings already published Dickens added further titles to his "works" as he went along. Despite being called "cheap" -- these volumes are just as high quality in texture and ornamentation as his first editions; there are 18 titles in total we've never seen a complete set in fine original condition and individual volumes in collector's condition are scarce. NEAR FINE spine a trifle browned as almost always with this olive-green cloth slightly foxed minor wear to the extremities bright gilt and excellent eye appeal. It would hard to find a better example of this traditionally yet inexplicably undervalued volume from Dickens's carefully-designed newly prefaced and illustrated first collection of his works. First Edition Thus. Decorative Cloth. Near Fine. Illus. by George Cruikshank. Chapman & Hall Hardcover books
