DICKENS Charles 1812 1870
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby . . . With Illustrations by 'Phiz' Original Cloth
London: Chapman & Hall 193 Piccadilly from 1839 1865. First Edition. Decorative Cloth. Near Fine. Early Issue 1865 or earlier based on printer's imprint verso of title page possibly as early as 1852 when Chapman & Hall moved from 186 Strand to 193 Piccadilly of Dickens's first commercial triumph the novel that established his lasting reputation. Thick demy 8vo 219 x 131mm: xvi624pp Illustrated with frontispiece author's portrait and 39 full-page plates. Publisher's original olive green fine-diaper cloth covers framed in blind with triple rule enclosing inner blind-stamped frame of chain-like design ornament of stems and leaves in corners identical to cloth covers of primary binding of Dombey and Son; spine ruled in five panels lettered in gilt to second and fourth; coated pale yellow end papers; edges rough- trimmed. Armorial book plate of A. G. W. Skirrow modified in manuscript by W. A. Telford to front paste down. An unusually clean copy both pages and plates in well-preserved original decorative cloth binding spine toned to a pleasing brown. A most attractive copy in the same format as the first edition. OCLC 19920519. Reprint from plates of the first book edition first published 1839. Dickens's fifth published novel originally issued in 19 monthly parts the final part a double number. Writing it he attempted to create something more ambitious than either the Pickwick Papers or Oliver Twist. The novel has a comparatively simple structure but in the manner of older novels that Dickens admired such as Fielding's Joseph Andrews it has a multiplicity of plots all of which in some way connect to the penniless young hero. Nickleby was an immediate success selling nearly 50000 copies earning profits of £14000 for the serial publication alone and attracting more notice than Dickens had previously received previously. N. B. With few exceptions always identified we only stock books in exceptional condition carefully preserved in archival removable polypropylene sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Dickens Charles
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby
London: Chapman and Hall 1839. First edition. Bound by Bayntun in three-quarter red calf over cloth boards all edges gilt. Spine a bid faded internally an excellent copy. Complete with the half-title and all 40 plates engraved by Phiz. Likely washed at the time of binding as most plates show little to no foxing. Most of Smith's internal flaws are found including the ones of pgs. 123 and 160 only found in the earliest copies bound from the parts. Nicholas Nickleby Dickens' third novel was originally serialized in monthly parts then issued as a book in cloth. The publishers also had a small number of copies bound up in the present morocco both for presentation - a census of copies inscribed by Dickens on publication show them all to be in the green morocco binding - and for sale to the public at a higher price. "Dickens' third novel has always been a favourite with the general public. Indeed it was the book's huge sales that enabled Dickens to give up parliamentary reporting and become a full-time writer.The theatricality of the novel attracted new and more appreciative critical attention and it demonstrates the inextricable link between public and private" Bannerjee. A satire tackling the injustices faced by both women and men within the Victorian class system that relied so heavily the social status of the patriarch the novel follows Nicholas Nickleby as he seeks to support his mother and sister after his father's death. When Nicholas' father dies after losing all of the family's money it is up to the young man to emerge as the new and more morally sound patriarch. Dashing and likable Nicholas ultimately prevails dodging shady characters along the way and securing a respectable life in Devonshire for his extended family. A favorite among Dickens' works Nicholas Nickleby has been adapted into a much-loved film. Chapman and Hall unknown

Dickens Charles
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby.
London: Chapman and Hall 1839. First extra illustrated signed edition of one of Dickens' most popular novels. Octavos two volumes bound in full brown pebbled morocco with gilt titles and elaborate gilt tolling to the spine in 6 compartments within raised gilt bands floral gilt ruling to the panels gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles top edge gilt marbled endpapers illustrated with numerous engravings. Inscribed by Charles Dickens three days before his final reading in his American tour on the limitation page "Faithfully yours Charles Dickens New York. Wednesday Fifteenth April 1868." Dickens performed 22 readings at Steinway Hall in New York City between December 1867 and April 18 1868. His final appearance occurred at a banquet dinner in his honor at the landmark Delmonico's on Saturday the 18th where he famously stated that he would no longer denounce America having restored his faith during this visit after his less successful first trip twenty years earlier. This extra-illustrated edition was compiled and bound by Curtis Guild in 1880 with an additional printed title-page stating that it is "Extended by the Insertion of the Author's Autograph a Portrait of Mr. Macready a Complete Set of the Onwhyn plates Illustrations by Darley Reinhart Eytinge and Others Collected from Various Sources in Europe and America by Curtis Guild / Boston 1880." In near fine condition. A stunning example. In 1867 Charles Dickens began his second American reading tour at Boston's Tremont Temple where an enthusiastic audience delighted in some of his most notable works members of the audience included legendary literary stars such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Although Dickens was in declining health he embarked on an ambitious travel schedule across the United States. Dickens returned to Boston once more before concluding his U.S. tour in New York City. When Charles Dickens arrived in Boston on November 19 1867 the celebrated English author spent several days at the Parker House hotel recuperating from the voyage. As conscientious a performer as he was a writer Dickens had prepared diligently for his performances redrafting and memorizing key passages from his books especially for these engagements. He used a book only as a prop; he was so familiar with the material that he could improvise with ease. However during his 1867-1868 tour he was plagued with Flu-like symptoms insomnia and an inflammation of his foot which forced him to walk with a cane. During his last tours in 1868 Dickens confined much of his performances to the New England area. Dickens was grateful for the income he desperately needed from his readings which generated $140000 close to $2000000 today; but he longed for home. On April 8 1868 Dickens gave the last performance of the tour. Prolonged applause followed the reading. He closed by telling the audience "In this brief life of ours it is sad to do almost anything for the last time. Ladies and gentlemen I beg most earnestly most gratefully and most affectionately to bid you each and all farewell." He died two years later having written 14 novels several of which are considered classics of English literature. Chapman and Hall unknown
