The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club - 20 Parts in 19 - A NEAR PRIME SET HAVING 8 OF 11 POINTS REQUIRED AND ANNOTATED BY BIBLIOGRAPHER THOMAS HATTON
London 1837 i.e. April 1836 - November 1837: Chapman & Hall. First Edition. First edition in the original monthly parts 20 parts in 19 original green printed wrappers "With forty-three illustrations by Seymour and Phiz" and Buss. A NEAR PRIME COPY lacking just 3 of the 11 points required in Eckel's bibliography "The First Editions of the Writings of Charles Dickens 1932." Eckel enumerates 16 known Prime Copies in his book; one other Prime Pickwick has come to market since then making a total of 17 known Prime Copies. In 2014 Charles Parkhurst owned Prime Pickwick number 17 which was sold that year in a private sale. These 11 points are enumerated below. Octavo i-vviviiviii-ixx-xixii-xivxv-xvi 12-609610. This outstanding set has the supressed Buss plates in part III. Parts with first state original plates are II III Buss V VII VIII IX X XI XIII XIV XV XVII XVIII XIX/XX; the remaining plates are 2nd state. ALL plates are before letters i.e. without captions. As called for in Hatton & Cleaver plates in parts I through XII have page numbers; plates in parts XIII through XIX/XX have no page numbers It should be noted that plates 26 and 27 in part XII are 1st issue and therefore have no page number as explained in Hatton & Cleaver p. 63 and in Miller & Strange p. 45. All plates are very good to fine. Plates in part XIV are browned at edges. All front wrappers are dated MDCCCXXXVI 1836. Parts having correct or first issue wrappers are: VI VII X XI XII XIII XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII and XIX/XX; part VIII wrappers are second issue as usual first issue wrappers for part VIII are the rarest things in all of Pickwick re: Hatton & Cleaver all others are "early" state wrappers "early" here means "not first issue". Spines are expertly renewed on most parts. Owner name or initials are in margin of front wrapper of parts VII and XIX/XX. The Addresses are present in parts X XV XVII XVIII and XIX/XX. The Advertiser not issued in the first three parts is present and complete in parts XI XII XIII XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII and XIX/XX. Parts having the first issue text and in accord with Miller & Strange are parts VII X XI XII XIII XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII and XIX/XX; parts having mixed issue text are V. Parts which are complete or having all the ads and slips called for by Hatton & Cleaver are parts XI XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII; parts XII XIII and XIX/XX are lacking only one ad. Let us enumerate the 11 points required by Eckel for a Prime Pickwick: #1. All covers must bear the date 1836. #2. Parts I and II must carry the words on the front wrapper "With Four Illustrations By Seymour." #3. Part III the words "With Illustrations by R. Buss" on the front wrapper. #4. Part I must have four plates by Seymour signed and not re-etched by Phiz. #5. Part II must have 3 plates by Seymour signed. #6. Part III must have the two plates signed "Drawn and etched by R. W. Buss" and the page numbers. #7. Part IV has the two plates indistinctly signed "Nemo" and not "Phiz." #8. Parts II III X and XV must have the addresses by the Author. #9. Parts XVII XVIII and XIX/XX must have the Addresses by the publishers. #10. Plates in parts I to XII must have no captions only references to the pages where they were inserted; parts XIII to XIX/XX must have neither titles nor numerical guides. #11. On the vignette title page the name "Weller" on the signboard over the door must appear with a "V" and the signature "Phiz fecit" must surround the tablet at the bottom of the frontispiece. The present Pickwick lacks only numbers 2 3 and 8 above i.e. the illustrators names on the front wraps of parts I II and III and the Addresses in parts II and III. Descriptions of each individual part follow: Part I. Wraps are early plate 1 1st state of 1st Seymour plate; plate 2 2nd state of 1st Seymour plate; plate 3 2nd state of 1st Seymour plate; plate 4 1st state of 2nd Seymour plate VG Text is early front ad by Chapman & Hall is lacking.

Philadelphia: Carey Lea & Blanchard 1837. Four volumes of five. Original linen and boards paper spine labels. Some modest spotting edgewear and soiling to boards backstrips modestly soiled and sunned fifth label eroded some occasional foxing or staining more noticeable in the fifth but all things considered for this work a good to very good set. Wanting the first volume. Second printing of the second volume with 'sporting' not split at end of line first American editions of volumes three through five. As with most extant sets assembled by a previous owner with differing pencil ownership signatures in a couple volumes. The first edition i.e. printing of the first volume is quite scarce having been issued in a printing of only 1500 copies. As the following volumes were published serially the first and second volumes were reprinted and one often finds mixed sets. As these volumes were set up and printed as the parts were received from London the text of four parts per volume a very sound case has been made most recently by Richard Loomis in his admirable catalogue of the McGuire collection that "it is.quite certain that four of the five Philadelphia volumes preceded the issuance of" the first British edition in book form.

1837. By Boz. To which is added The Pantomime of Life by the same author. Philadelphia: Carey Lea & Blanchard 1837. Bound in full mottled calf with raised bands on the spine. First Edition so collected. In January 1837 Carey Lea & Blanchard published a "Library of Fiction" anthology volume titled THE TUGGS'S AT RAMSGATE "Together with Other Tales by Distinguished Writers" -- the first American appearance of that one Dickens sketch. A month later CL&B published a volume titled SKETCHES BY BOZ which consisted of the Dickens sketches contained in the Second Series of the British SKETCHES BY BOZ neither the UK nor the US edition included "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate". In June of the same year CL&B published this volume which combines "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" into their earlier "Sketches by Boz" plus adds for the first time an additional Dickens sketch "The Pantomime of Life." Only 1000 copies were printed. Attractively rebound in this understated full-calf binding this is a close-to-fine copy damp-mark at the top of some leaves toward the rear.

The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" and "A Little Talk about Spring and the Sweeps.
1836. In: THE LIBRARY OF FICTION or Family Story Teller; consisting of Original Tales Essays and Sketches of Character. With Fourteen Illustrations in each volume. Vol. I & II. London: Chapman and Hall 1836/1837. Bound in contemporary half calf with marbled boards. First Edition in book form. Chapman & Hall's monthly fiction periodical "The Library of Fiction" began in April 1836 starting right off in that issue with the sketch "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" by a writer using the pseudonym "Boz." The third June issue included another "A Little Talk about Spring and the Sweeps." When the Second Series of SKETCHES BY BOZ was published in December 1836 the latter tale was included re-titled "The First of May"; "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" was the only one of Dickens's periodical sketches that did not appear in either volume of SKETCHES BY BOZ -- but it was added when SKETCHES BY BOZ was subsequently issued in serial parts from Nov 1837 through June 1839. These two volumes contain the monthly issues of this new periodical with preliminary leaves added for this book form the second volume issued in 1837 did not have any Dickens contributions but is included here. "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" includes two plates by Seymour and "Spring and the Sweeps" has one by Buss; both illustrators would soon be involved with PICKWICK PAPERS. Other contributors include Edward Mayhew G.P.R. James Douglas Jerrold Mary Russell Mitford and the Countess of Blessington. This set is bound in contemporary half calf with gilt-paneled spine and black leather spine label and marbled paper-covered boards. Condition is very good minor edgewear of the marbled boards small worm-hole in the first few leaves of Vol II dampmark in the margfin of some plates. See Podeschi E121. unknown books

It is identifiable by the "A Facsimile Reprint" on the title verso but also by the width of "Richard Bentley" reduced to 2-3/8 inches. Spine deftly restored but this is otherwise a fine copy with unopened leaves. Podeschi Yale B39; see Carr UTexas B526; Eckel pp 157-158. <br/><br/> unknown books
