Custom embroidered slipcase newer with hand-colored borders after Cruikshank and inset panel on upper and lower covers of embroidered material. Fine. Cohn 243.

"Clarke Printers Silver Street Falcon Square" verso of title-page and at the foot of page 40. Fine. Notated music after Cruikshank's preface. Bookseller's tag of W.H. Dalton 28 Cockspur St. Charing Cross. This poem was a personal favorite of Cruikshank's and he was known to utilize a costume from table-covers table-napkins and antimacassars – or anything else he could lay his hands on to deliver his rousing rendition of Lord Bateman the tune of which appears notated just before the first page of text. The authorship of this poetry by Dickens was confirmed by a letter 3 July 1839 in which Dickens expresses his desire "to remain unknown … for weighty reasons" <i>The Letters of Charles Dickens</i>Vol. I Oxford Clarendon House and Storey eds.:1969.

First American Edition issued as No. 114 in Holt's "Leisure Hour Series."

Dickens Charles
The Mystery of Edwin Drood
London: Chapman & Hall 1870. April 1870 - September 1870. 1870 First edition in the original six monthly parts. Original publishers blue-green pictorial wrappers with illustrations by C.A. Collins with thirteen of the fourteen plates including engraved portrait of Dickens and vignette title by Samuel Luke Fildes. Part 6 in earliest state with "Price Eighteenpence" pasted over the printed "Price One Shilling" later states are printed with the corrected price; Part 5 "Jasper's Sacrifices" plate hand-colored spine separated at page 129 with only the first of three advertisements at rear; Part 4 complete with "Edwin Drood Advertiser" to front and all three ads to rear; Part 3 with all five advertisements at rear and thus quite rare; Part 2 with the scarce Gaimes Sanders & Nicol ad on cork as well as the other back advertisement and the rear wrapper; Part 1 complete with "Edwin Drood Advertiser" insert at front. A good set with significant wear soiling and some loss but a completely unrestored example of Dickens' last published work free of the usual repairs. Housed in a custom box with a folding chemise. Hatton & Cleaver pp. 373-384. Originally published serially in the six monthly installments The Mystery of Edwin Drood was also published in book form on August 31 1870. Both the later serial installments and the first book form edition were published posthumously after Dickens' death in June 1870 leaving the novel unfinished. The story is named after the titular character Edwin Drood although the text largely focuses on his uncle John Jasper an opium addict and choir master who is romantically interested in his nephew's fiancé. In the story Drood disappears under mysterious circumstances and due to Dicken's premature death at 58 the mystery is never resolved. Accordingly many of the novel's fans speculate as to whether or not Drood is dead and if so who killed him. Many authors have attempted to resolve the plot including Dickens' son Charley in 1873 and Thomas James a Vermont-based printer and con artist who claimed to have channeled the deceased Dickens and learned his intended ending for the novel. . First Edition. Original Wraps. Good. London: Chapman & Hall, 1870. April, 1870 - September, 1870. paperback books

THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD
1870. New York: Harper & Brothers 1870. 2 pp preliminary ads plus 44 pp terminal ads dated Oct 1870. Original yellow-brown pictorial wrappers. Early second American edition published in late September about three weeks after Fields Osgood's edition -- and about three months after Dickens's death in June left this tale unfinished. The front cover illustration the same as appeared on the six UK parts was the work of Charles A. Collins -- Dickens's son-in-law and Wilkie's brother; the scenes shown formed the basis for the numerous attempts after Dickens's death to complete or "solve" the mystery. Harper had been serializing DROOD in parts as a monthly Dickens supplement to their Harper's Weekly but Fields Osgood had earlier paid Dickens an advance for book publication. The Harper serialization -- as well as the fact that this Harper edition came out only in wrappers -- probably explains why Harper's edition is so scarce today: many of their readers had already read the tale serially. This copy does bear the earliest and usual date October 1870 on both the ads and rear cover and the preliminary list of titles properly ends with No. 349. This copy does NOT have the Dickens portrait leaf which Smith notes is true with some copies. Copies without that leaf may be a later state but possibly copies WITH it may be a later state; a third possibility is that some initial buyers removed that leaf for framing in honor of the author who had just died. Condition is very good with very little of the wrapper lacking but with a couple of dampstains affecting the front cover and first leaves. This Harper edition is MUCH scarcer than the Fields Osgood edition for the reasons cited above; this is the first time in 40 years that we have offered it in original wrappers. Smith pp 417-418; curiously not in Podeschi Yale; Carr UTexas B279. <br/><br/> unknown books

THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD and Some Uncollected Pieces
1870. With Illustrations. Boston: Fields Osgood & Co. 1870. Original green cloth. First American Edition second and usual issue with added material -- of the tale left unfinished at the time of Dickens's death in June 1870. The scarce earlier issue withOUT the "Uncollected Pieces" was bound only in wrappers; furthermore the subsequent additions are just that -- the text of DROOD is exactly the same in both issues. This has led some bibliographers to speculate that the two issues may be from the same printing with only a change in the title page: Smith noting that he could not find a publication date for the first issue says "Perhaps such copies represent a prepublication state rather than an issue and were published simultaneously with copies which had the uncollected pieces.". The "Uncollected Pieces" consist of James T. Fields's introductory "Some Memories of Charles Dickens" plus Dickens's "George Silverman's Explanation" "Holiday Romance" "Sketches of Young Couples" and "New Uncommercial Samples" plus "The Will of Charles Dickens." Since 1867 Ticknor & Fields and then Fields Osgood had been Dickens's authorized publisher in America; they had serialized DROOD in their weekly Every Saturday and then published this book in early September. Ticknor & Fields had specifically commissioned Dickens to write "Holiday Romance" so that it could appear in their children's periodical Our Young Folks in 1868. Harper also serialized DROOD in a monthly Dickens supplement to Harper's Weekly but did not get their book edition out until late September. This copy is in the primary binding state -- 9-7/16 inches tall with the FO&Co emblem on the covers and at the foot of the spine -- and it is green one of three colors without priority. The volume is in near-fine condition very minor wear at the spine ends. Smith pp 412-416; Podeschi Yale A156; Carr UTexas B278; Wilkins p. 35. <br/><br/> hardcover books

The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
London: Chapman and Hall 1870. First edition of Dickens' final novel. Octavo bound in full early 20th century morocco gilt titles and tooling to the spine double gilt ruled raised gilt bands all edges gilt inner dentelles marbled endpapers. Engraved frontispiece portrait of Dickens with tissue guard 12 engraved plates. In near fine condition with very light rubbing and some toning to the pages. Charles Dickens' novels regularly revolved around masks dual identities and other secrets. The Mystery of Edwin Drood however "enlarged and strengthened such matters in the pursuit of a larger vision a vision which depicts the 'lanes of light' between the dark pillars of a crypt and which reflects upon 'that mysterious fire which lurks in everything" Ackroyd 1056. Unfortunately at the time of his death on June 9 1870 Dickens had written only six parts of the book three of which had been published. The remaining three were published posthumously. Dickens had so closely guarded the plot's outlines even from his closest friends that to this day the identity of Drood's killer remains a topic for speculation discussion and debate. "There are few of Dickens' stories which are superior in the matter of composition. one of the best unfinished mystery stories in literature" Eckel 96. This tantalizing tale has been adapted in film and television several times. Chapman and Hall unknown books
