1836. monthly issues in wrappers Family Story-Teller; consisting of Tales Essays and Sketches of Character Original and Selected. London: Chapman and Hall n.d. 1836. Six issues including everything Dickens contributed of the original fourteen in original printed wrappers. First Appearances of two of Dickens's very earliest stories. Dickens contributed only these two sketches by "Boz" to this monthly literary periodical. The first issue undated but April 1836 included his "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate"; also included are two plates by Robert Seymour illustrating this story. The third issue two months later included his "A Little Talk about Spring and the Sweeps"; one of the two plates in this issue by R.W. Buss relates to this story. In mid-1837 all fourteen of the monthly issues would be published as the two-volume anthology titled THE LIBRARY OF FICTION. These were the only two "sketches by Boz" that appeared in this periodical but many others appeared in half a dozen other periodicals. In February 1836 Dickens's first book the two-volume SKETCHES BY BOZ was published by John Macrone -- containing 37 "Sketches" but not of course these two as they had not yet appeared. In December 1836 the "Second Series" of SKETCHES BY BOZ was published in one volume 21 more which included "A Little Talk about Spring and the Sweeps" but re-titled "The First of May." With the book publication of both Series of SKETCHES BY BOZ all of Dickens's periodical appearances had been published -- with the sole exception of "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate." SKETCHES BY BOZ was issued in monthly parts after book publication at which time this oversight was corrected -- as "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" was added in Parts XV-XVI. This is actually a group of six of the fourteen original issues -- the first four plus the sixth and eighth "Boz" is represented in only the first and third; other writers include G.P.R. James Edward Mayhew and Douglas Jerrold. As an aside the monthly issues of THE LIBRARY OF FICTION started up the same month as the serialization of Dickens's next book PICKWICK PAPERS -- so the rear covers of these LIBRARY issues advertise that book with its two initial illustrators Seymour and Buss Seymour would soon be dead and Buss would soon be fired -- opening the door for Hablot K. Browne a.k.a. "Phiz". Speaking of "Phiz" accompanying a Mayhew tale in the sixth monthly issue is his depiction of "that notorious and daring burglar by name John Smith": Phiz's depiction of Smith dressed in a striped waistcoat has been identified as the visual prototype of the character about to join the cast of PICKWICK PAPERS -- Tony Weller -- who overnight would turn that serial from a dismal failure into a huge success see Kitton Dickens and His Illustrators p. 62. Condition is very good to near-fine minor edge-wear spines slightly rolled but the wrappers are clean and whole and the plates -- two per issue -- are sharp and bright. Although the two-volume THE LIBRARY OF FICTION is not overly scarce especially rebound these individual wrappered issues are not just scarce but rare. Podeschi E121; see Smith I p. 15; Eckel pp 137-139 who noted in 1932 "the excessive scarcity of a complete run of the original fourteen parts is well known". This is the Sherwood / Davies / Drizen copy housed in a handsome morocco-backed clamshell case with inner chemise by The Chelsea Bindery. <br/><br/> unknown
1837. Together with Other Tales by Distinguished Writers. Philadelphia: Carey Lea & Blanchard 1837. Original light grey-green boards with red cloth spine and printed label. First American Edition being a volume in the "Library of Fiction" limited to 1000 copies issued in January 1837. The volume consists of the title tale by Dickens followed by nine other tales by other writers. This is the only one of "Boz"'s tales that having appeared in a British periodical did not then appear in one of the two book series of SKETCHES BY BOZ see Smith I p. 15 note 2. Instead it appeared in the British "Library of Fiction" in April 1836 and was not included in SKETCHES BY BOZ until that title was issued in monthly parts Nov 1837 through June 1839. In America Carey Lea & Blanchard published SKETCHES BY BOZ second series a month or two after this -- not including "Tuggs's" -- and then combined "Tuggs's" into a reprint of that volume in June of the same year. This is a good-plus copy general soil and edge-wear notably to the rear joint label rubbed but still legible half of rear free endpaper missing. This is acceptable condition for a book that is so scarce in its original binding -- as these 1830s Philadelphia volumes were bound up using extremely delicate cheap materials. Podeschi Yale B1; Wilkins p. 11 reference to the "Select Library of Fiction". Housed in a clamshell case with leather label. <br/><br/> hardcover

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. <br/><br/> hardcover
