DICKENS, Charles
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby.
London: Chapman and Hall 1839. In publisher's deluxe binding bound from the parts First edition in the publisher's deluxe binding of half morocco bound from the original monthly parts with the stab-holes visible. Nicholas Nickleby followed the phenomenal success which Dickens reached with the Pickwick Papers. To secure Nickleby Chapman and Hall offered Dickens £150 a part a sum ten times greater than that which he had received for Pickwick. As with its predecessor the novel met with great public enthusiasm which has continued unabated: Dickens's biographer Peter Ackroyd stated that the novel "has some title to being the funniest novel Dickens ever wrote; it is perhaps the funniest novel in the English language" Ackroyd Dickens pp. 262. Upon the completion of the novel in monthly parts the novel was issued by the publishers in book form in three binding choices: in cloth in half morocco with marble edges and in full morocco with gilt edges. They also made available and advertised as such with an inset included with the final instalment of the part issue their binding services for the same three bindings for owners of the parts: cloth at 1s. 6d. half morocco at 4s. 6d. and full morocco at 6s. 6d. Kremers pp. 286-7. It is worth noting that for an owner of the parts to have their parts bound was much cheaper than to buy a copy of the new book-form issue - to purchase a book-form copy in half morocco would cost the purchaser £1 4s. 6d. four times as much as to bind up their parts. Copies bound from the parts as opposed to book-form copies can be distinguished by the presence of stab-holes in the gutter as here from the unstitching of the parts from their wrappers. For the book form clean sheets were printed without bearing these holes. The binding services continued to be offered long after publication both as the publisher bound up remaining first edition sheets for new issues apparently as late as 1857 for Nickleby and for private individuals to continue to make use of the binding services. The publishers offered the same binding services for future Dickens novels and so the individual who had the parts issues of earlier Dickens novels could commission bindings for multiple novels simultaneously. Minor variation in tooling cloth and morocco occurred over time for these bindings which can indicate earlier and later bindings though the full sequence and firm dates have never been established. The presence of morocco-grain cloth on this copy indicates that it was bound around the 1850s when Chapman and Hall begun to use morocco-grain cloth - they had until then predominantly used fine-diaper cloth. Octavo 209 x 134 mm. Engraved portrait frontispiece 39 engraved plates by Hablot Knight Browne Phiz. Original purple half morocco spine lettered in gilt spine bands with gilt floral roll and bordered with blind rules green morocco-grain cloth sides marbled endpapers and edges. Complete with half-title. Spine sunned and a little rubbed minor wear at tips binding firm and intact some light soiling to contents and minor browning to plates as usual short closed tear at fore edge of plate facing p. 238. A very good copy.

DICKENS, Charles
The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit.
London: Chapman and Hall 1844. Publisher's deluxe binding First edition in book form in the publisher's full morocco binding the most deluxe of the three original binding options offered by the publisher and very scarce. Martin Chuzzlewit was initially issued in monthly parts from December 1842 to July 1844 and in book form on completion. In an advertisement in the final monthly part the publishers announced that it could be purchased in three formats: in cloth for £1 1s. in half morocco with marbled edges for £1 4s. 6d. and in full morocco with gilt edges for £1 6s. 6d. This full morocco binding is much scarcer than copies in the original cloth which are themselves by no means common. This is the first copy of this novel in the full morocco binding that we have handled. The early owner of this copy Howell Blood whose signature dated 1862 appears on a preliminary blank was typical of the customer Chapman and Hall was targeting with their offer of deluxe full morocco binding - the upwardly-mobile middle class with pretensions to have the "best looking" copies of Britain's newest literary sensation. "The sons of small farmers retail traders and small masters. were now benefiting from the reformed grammar schools and recently founded academies. A first generation Witham solicitor Joseph Howell Blood was clerk to the powerful attorney Jacob Howell Pattisson related through his mother's side. By the 1840s Blood had become clerk of the workhouse clerk of the JP's bench and chairman of the Board of Guardians the kind of post that would not have existed in the eighteenth century. By the 1850s he had set up his own legal practice in the town later joined by his eldest son" Davidoff & Hall p. 265. The ownership signature may be that of either Joseph Howell 1806-1876 or his son Howell 1837-1911 who was educated at Rugby and became a clergyman. Chapman and Hall continued to issue first edition sheets for many years after publication binding up copies from their stock as required including in this deluxe format. There are many variations between the morocco bindings of Dickens's novels variations which have not yet been subject to a sustained bibliographical study identifying priority - the marbled endpapers and gilt turn-ins here are indicative of binding in the 1850s. Martin Chuzzlewit is placed by Dickens's biographer Peter Ackroyd as marking "a great change in Dickens's conception of moral characteristics. For the first time Dickens begins to explore the contradictions and difficulties of the contemporary human world; these are no longer figures defined by a single characteristic or animated by the wilful principle of a 'humour' but ones who are seen to change with the changing world to live and grow" Ackroyd p. 392. Dickens wrote to John Forster on 2 November 1843 that "I think Chuzzlewit is a hundred points immeasurably the best of my stories" Pilgrim Letters III pp. 590. Octavo 211 x 132 mm. Engraved frontispiece and vignette title page £ sign not transposed no priority 38 plates by Hablot Knight Browne Phiz. Bound without half-title. Original purple pebble-grain morocco spine lettered in gilt spine bands and covers ruled in blind gilt floral turn-ins marbled endpapers gilt edges. With ink ownership signature of "Howell Blood Witham 1862" to initial binder's blank and his pencil ownership signature to facing binder's blank see note. Slight splits and wear at head of joints but holding firm offsetting to preliminaries plates browned as often early gatherings and first plate somewhat soiled with a few peripheral nicks and chips letterpress leaves afterwards clean small patch of tape repair in gutter of p. 32 6 cm closed tear affecting text without loss to pp. 461/2 3 cm closed tear not affecting text to pp. 603/4.

According to Hatton and Cleaver p.86 the vignette title page was etched in triplicate two of the etchings reading "£ 100" and one "100£". Since all these plates were contemporary and used simultaneously in the printing of the parts there is no first state or priority of the illustration as has been often cited in catalogs.

Octavo bound in full pebbled morocco with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands elaborate gilt ruling to the front and rear panels all edges gilt inner dentelles marbled endpapers illustrated with by "Phiz" with 40 plates. With a clipped signature of the dedicatee Angela Burdett-Coutts laid in. The dedicatee Angela Burdett-Coutts became one of the wealthiest women in England in 1837 when she inherited her grandfather's fortune of around £1.8 million following the death of her step grandmother Harriot Beauclerk Duchess of St Albans. She spent the majority of her wealth on scholarships endowments and a wide range of philanthropic causes. One of her earliest philanthropic acts was to co-found with Charles Dickens a home for young women who had "turned to a life of immorality" including theft and prostitution. The home was known as Urania Cottage. In near condition. The last of Dickens picaresque novels The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit was originally serialized between 1843 and 1844. Dickens thought it to be his best work and William Boyd proclaimed it "Dickens' funniest novel." Like nearly all of Dickens's novels Martin Chuzzlewit was first published in monthly instalments. Early sales of the monthly parts were lower than those of previous works so Dickens changed the plot to send the title character to the United States. He satirized the country as a place filled with self-promoting hucksters eager to sell land sight unseen. The novels main characters include two of Dickens's great villains Seth Pecksniff and Jonas Chuzzlewit. London: Chapman and Hall unknown
