‎1869. Volume 1. New York / Cambridge Hurd and Houghton / Riverside Press 1869. 12 cm x 17 cm. VIII 338 pages. Original hardcover. Very good condition with some clear signs of wear. Contains inscription and plate by pre-owner. Includes for example the following essays: The Beadle. The Parish Engine. The Schoolmaster / The Curate. The Old Lady. The Half-pay Captain / The Election for Beadles / The Ladies' Societies / The Streets - Night / Scotland Yard / Seven Dials / Monmouth Street / Doctors' Commons / London Recreations / Astleys / Vauxhall Gardens by Day / Public Dinners / Brokers' and Marine-Store Shops / Gin Ships / The Pawnbroker's Shop / Criminal Courts / A Visit to Newgate etc. "Published under the pen-name 'Boz' Charles Dickens's first book Sketches by Boz 1836 heralded an exciting new voice in English literature. This richly varied collection of observation fancy and fiction shows the London he knew so intimately at its best and worst - its streets theatres inns pawnshops law courts prisons omnibuses and the river Thames - in honest and visionary descriptions of everyday life and people. Through pen portraits that often anticipate characters from his great novels we see the condemned man in his prison cell garrulous matrons vulgar young clerks and Scrooge-like bachelors while Dickens's powers for social critique are never far from the surface in unflinching depictions of the vast metropolis's forgotten citizens from child workers to prostitutes. A startling mixture of humour and pathos these Sketches reveal London as wonderful terrain for an extraordinary young writer." Amazon hardcover‎

‎London: John Macrone from 1836 1837. First Edition. Decorative Cloth. Near Fine. Second series" of this collection of short pieces of literary journalism that marked the launch of the young author’s meteoric career. Crown 8vo 194 x 120mm: 4viii3771pp with 10 steel-engraved plates including frontispiece and vignette title page dated 1836 by George Cruikshank. Complete with catalogue of Macrone's publications dated December 1836. Page vi is misnumbered "viii;" list of illustrations gives "Vauxhall Gardens by Day" twice in error and omits final plate "Mr. Minns and his Cousin." All required first edition points present per Smith who notes: "it does not appear possible to associate definitely early or late copies totally with states of the spine endpapers pale yellow or blue location of the plates and whether or not they contain the volume number the absence or presence of the list of illustrations and internal flaws." Publisher's original moderate red morocco-grain cloth covers bordered and decorated in blind with wreath centerpieces black pigmented panels on spine lettered in gilt yellow coated end papers. Blind-embossed in tiny type centered at foot of front cover: "Remnant & Edmonds London" see Ramsden p. 121 and Jamieson p. 11. Housed in made-to-order folding box. Excellent original cloth barely any lightening plates moderately foxed but mostly marginally so pages generally clean bright and virtually free of foxing. Original spines very expertly relaid retaining "dark pigments" for both lettering pieces. The fragile cloth makes this second series devilishly difficult to obtain in such collectible condition. Smith I: 2. Sadleir 700 Eckel pp. 12-13. First Edition of Dickens's rare first work second series in original cloth introducing a major literary talent to Victorian England. In February 1836 John Macrone published Sketches by Boz illustrative of Every-day Life and Every-day People which came to be known as the “first series." This “second series†appeared in December. Sadleir ranked both series on his list of Dickens raities although in our experience the second series is now the more elusive. "Dickens originally published most of the pieces collected under Sketches in a wide variety of newspapers and periodicals between December 1833 and December 1836 at the beginning struggling just to appear in print. . . . The appearance of 'Boz' as Dickens’s pen-name a corruption of a family nickname Moses via Dickens’s younger brother’s mispronunciation in one of these seven pieces “The Boarding House†marked to a certain degree the young writer coming into his own. . . .
