Plates facing pp. 387 and 386 transposed as per Michael Sadleir's copy at UCLA and all of the other thirty-four first issue points.

Octavo 8 11/16 x 5 7/16 inches; 220 x 139 mm. xiv errata with 14 lines verso blank 624 pp. Forty etched plates including frontispiece and title-page vignette by Hablot K. Browne aka "Phiz."

The original cloth is near fine with no fading and just the bare minimum of strengthening at the spine ends and slight wear to the lower corners. The gilt lettering is bright and fresh. The plates have light to moderate foxing which is mainly confined to the blank margins. There is a 3/8 inch diameter stain on the margin of the plate facing page 160 and a light marginal stain on the facing leaves. Closed tear on margin of O2 pp. 195/6 corner 3/8 x 1/2 inch torn away from FF4. Light foxing to end-papers and first and last leaves only. The text block remarkably clean and fresh. Overall this is an exceptional copy of a title rarely found in better condition. Housed in an early fleece-lined green cloth clamshell case. Martin Chuzzlewit is listed as number five in Michael Sadleir's list of Charles Dickens comparative scarcities. The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit originally appeared in twenty numbers bound in nineteen monthly parts January 1843 - July 1844. This the first edition in book form appeared on July 16 1844 at 21s. and was the last of Dickens's picaresque novels. Dickens thought it to be his best work - but his readers disagreed. In fact Martin Chuzzlewit was the first of his novels to lose readers during serialization and the publisher Chapman and Hall suggested that Dickens's fees should be reduced. This never happened but it caused a rift that was not bridged until Chapman and Hall published A Tale of Two Cities in 1859. Dombey and Son 1848 David Copperfield 1850 Bleak House 1853 Hard Times 1854 and Little Dorrit 1857 were all published by Bradbury and Evans. <br/><br/> London: Chapman and Hall, 1844 hardcover‎

With an ALs with original autograph envelope by Dickens to one Thomas Ellis Bramale Esq. dated August 5 1839: "Sir I have very great pleasure in complying with your request and beg to thank you cordially for the obliging expressions with which it is accompanied. I am Sir Your very obedient servant Charles Dickens." 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. "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.

‎Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co 1872-74. 3 volumes. First Edition American Issue. Illustrated throughout with pictorial engravings on steel and facsimiles of Dickens’ notes letters and manuscripts and including three wonderful engraved portrait frontispieces representing Dickens at various stages of his life. 8vo original purple cloth lettered in gilt on the spines and with gilt portraits of Dickens in the center of each upper cover. xvii 418 pp 2 ads; xix 494 10; xiv 600 pp. A very handsome and proper set with the expected fading to the spines and overall mellowing of the purple cloth and minor wear to the front exterior hinges. The interiors are tight and clean. A lovely set. A HANDSOME AND VERY WELL PRESERVED SET OF THIS IMPORTANT BIOGRAPHY. Written by Dickens' long time friend and executor John Forster. Forster was a writer and journalist and a notable figure in mid 19th century literary London. Through his friendship with the influential editor Leigh Hunt he became adviser agent and proofreader not only to Dickens but to many leading writers of the day. Forster was not merely the friend of the great man; he was a highly experienced journalist by the time he began to write the biography and his experience as a writer as well as his breadth of familiarity and knowledge of the subject and the writing shows absolutely throughout this prodigious work. Forster’s great biography is all at once an epic an illustrated history and a eulogy. J. B. Lippincott & Co hardcover‎
