‎London: Chapman and Hall 1839. First Edition Early Issue - in the Original Cloth<br /> <br /> DICKENS Charles. The Life And Adventures Of Nicholas Nickleby. With Illustrations by Phiz. London: Chapman and Hall 1839. <br /> <br /> First edition. Early issue with thirty-five of Smith's forty-one first-issue internal flaws including all of the major points and the first-state frontispiece bearing the Chapman and Hall imprint.<br /> <br /> Octavo 8 7/8 x 5 1/4 in; 225 x 133 mm. xvi 624 pp. Forty black and white plates including frontispiece portrait engraved by Finden after Maclise. The publisher's imprint called for in first issue of the first five plates shows only on the Maclise portrait. The parts were issued with and without the imprint on the first four plates.<br /> <br /> Publisher's primary binding in dark olive-green fine-diaper-grain cloth covers stamped in blind spine lettered in gilt. With the bookplate of Joseph Turner on the front pastedown. Inner hinges expertly repaired a few small tears to the joints. A bright copy with only slight fading to the spine. Some light to moderate foxing to the plates but without the dark staining to the plate borders usually encountered in this title. Housed in a felt-lined green cloth slipcase. A very good example.<br /> <br /> Nicholas Nickleby was originally published in twenty numbers bound in nineteen monthly parts the last part as a double number from April 1838 through October 1839. The first edition in book form was made up from these parts. "It was the novelist's intention to expose in this story the terrible abuses practiced in the cheap boarding-schools of Yorkshire and in order that he realize their true character he determined to investigate for himself the real facts as to the condition of those notorious seminaries Accordingly at the end of January 1838 he and 'Phiz' started on this memorable journey in bitterly cold weather and visiting several schools in the locality they came into direct contact with the proprietors. One of these was William Shaw the identical schoolmaster who some years previously had been heavily fined for what was represented at the trial as gross maltreatment of his pupils" Kitton Dickens and His Illustrators p. 75. It was Shaw upon whom Dickens based the infamous Squeers. Having made an enemy of his uncle Ralph Nickolas was sent as an usher to Dotheboys Hall where Wackford Squeers starved and maltreated forty students under the pretense of education. "The character of Mrs. Nickleby was largely founded upon that of Dickens's mother. The title character was founded on Dickens's brother-in-law Hanry Burnett a music teacher at Manchester" Hayward The Dickens Encyclopedia p. 115.<br /> <br /> "H.K. Browne prepared 39 illustrations for this novel as well as the cover for the monthly parts while the portrait frontispiece was engraved by Finden from a painting by Maclise. Because of the the large monthly circulation of the parts Browne etched as many as four plates in some cases of each illustration and all of them were printed in the initial issue of the parts. Many of the plates from 'Miss Nickleby introduced to her uncle's friends' page 175 onward contain Arabic or Roman numerals which indicate the order in which they were etched. Most of the numerals are located in the lower right corner and occasionally in the left. Hatton and Cleaver state that the numeral for Plate 31 'Mysterious appearance of the gentleman in the small-clothes' p. 487 appears on the front of the mantleshelf.The first state of the frontispiece and the first four illustrations contain the imprint of Chapman and Hall. The first state of the frontispiece always appears in the monthly parts; the first four illustrations were issued with and without the imprint in the parts but the plates without imprints did not appear in the earlier issues of the monthly parts and may therefore be termed 'second states''' Smith I 5.<br /> <br /> Smith Part I 5. Eckel p.64. Hatton and Cleaver pp. 131-160; Sadleir 695; Wolff 1806. London: Chapman and Hall, 1839 unknown‎

There are a couple of small tears along the stitching at the inner edge of the title page. There is minor dampstaining to the top inner corner of the first few pages and the last page is slightly soiled. Good. <p>Although no date is listed the inclusion of Dickens' story "Our Mutual Friend" in the list of titles he authored would indicate this work was published after 1865.<p>Charles Dickens edited this autobiographical work on the 18th Century English performer who according to The Guardian "invented the figure of the classic clown we know today". Dickens contributed a 4-page introductory chapter. The Italian immigrant Grimaldi was the first to use white-faced makeup and performed in outrageous colored clothes. He was a friend of Lord Byron and Edmund Kean. Beneath the mask Grimaldi's life was filled with tragedy. The death of his first wife in childbirth and the death of his son to alcoholism led him to struggle with depression. Philadelphia: T.B. Peterson & Brothers, [post-1865]. hardcover‎

‎Lithographic Facsimile Letter to the Rev. Stephen Roose Hughes 10 January 1860 Conveying a Proof for All the Year Round subsequently collected as chapter two The Shipwreck in The Uncommercial Traveller‎

‎N.p. London 1861. Lithographic facsimile printing of the original autograph letter. Two pages printed in blue-black ink on laid paper. 1 vols. Oblong 4to. Old fold. Lithographic facsimile printing of the original autograph letter. Two pages printed in blue-black ink on laid paper. 1 vols. Oblong 4to. Uncommon printed facsimile of this notable letter from Charles Dickens writing as the editor of All the Year Round to Rev. Hughes of St Gallgo's Church whose heroic efforts at the time of the wreck of the Royal Charter off the coast of Anglesey in August 1859 inspired Dickens to write the "little article" mentioned here published in All the Year Round for 28 January and subsequently adapted as the first chapter of The Uncommercial Traveller. The invitation extended by Dickens to the minister and his family is poignant as the strain of the exertions contributed to Hughes' untimely death on 4 February 1862.<br /> <br /> In the British Academy/Pilgrim Edition of Dickens' letters the original letter is recorded as in the collection of Mrs. A.K. Frazer; it is further noted that "facsimiles of this letter were sold by Hughes to provide a monument now in Llanallgo Church to those drowned in the Royal Charter." This allows a narrow dating to 1860 or 1861. No copies of this facsimile are recorded in the Gimbel collection in other major Dickens holdings or in OCLC.<br /> <br /> The facsimile reproduces Dickens' Office of All the Year Round letterhead in monochrome slightly reduced and the text is as follows:<br /> <br /> My Dear Mr Hughes <br /> You will receive from my printer's office by this same post a Proof of the little article I have written on the subject of my late visit. I am under the necessity of asking you to send it back to W. Wills here by return of post. For although a fortnight will elapse before it is published the mechanical necessities of this Journal and its simultaneous publication in England and America render its going to press at once imperative.<br /> I doubt whether I am quite right respecting the number of the drowned buried in your churchyard and the greatest number that lay in the church at one time. Will you do me the favour to correct me on those points And if you should observe any similar inaccuracy will you do me the additional kindness to mark it I trust that there is nothing in the article that you or your household will find displeasing. I have written it out of the honest convictions of my heart and in the hope that it will at least soften the distress of many people from whom you have not yet heard. It says for me all that I should otherwise have attempted to say in this note and merely strives to express what any visitor to you must surely feel. <br /> My daughters have taken a great interest in all I have told them and particularly in Mrs Hughes's idea of coming to London in the summer. They earnestly beg me to assure her and you that they hope to know you both very well and that it will be an uncommon gratification to them if you will come and see us down at my Kentish house on the top of Shakespeare's Gad's Hill which is little more than an hour's railway ride from town. <br /> I beg to present my true regard to the ladies of your house and to your brother and to assure you of the hearty esteem and respect with which I am Very faithfully yours <br /> Charles Dickens. <br /> This same post will also bring you the documents you also lent me returned with thanks. The Letters of Charles Dickens British Academy/Pilgrim Edition Vol. 9: 1859-1861 pp. 196-7 unknown‎
