Dickens Charles
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby
London: Chapman & Hall 1839 First edition. Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne "Phiz". Finely bound in 19th century full polished green calf spine lettered and decorated in gilt gilt turn-ins all edges gilt marbled endpapers. An excellent copy extremities lightly rubbed with the usual foxing and some staining to the plates text otherwise very clean and bright. A very attractive copy. Nicholas Nickleby is Dickens's third novel which he began writing while Oliver Twist was still in progress. Characteristic of Dickens's work Nicholas Nickleby is a whirlwind of social satire with a complex network of characters and plotlines. The book highlights the controversy that surrounded Yorkshire boarding schools in the 1830s as news stories brought to light the abuse and neglect that was common among these institutions known for accepting unwanted children from parents who paid high prices to send them anywhere they could. Dickens's villain Wackford Squeers was based on Walter Shaw the real-life headmaster of Bowes Academy one of the schools reported for allowing rampant abuse of its pupils. The book has since been adapted for theater television and film and remains one of Dickens's most well-known works. This first edition in book form was bound from the publisher's parts with the stab holes from the original wrappers present and all the points called for by Smith meaning that it is one of the earlier issues of the first edition. Furthermore this copy was bound from the earliest states of the publisher's parts for as Hatton and Cleaver note "There are two distinguishing features only which point out early printings from later issues:" the substitution of "visiter" for "sister" on page 123 and "latter" instead of "letter" on page 160; both of these errors were corrected while Nicholas Nickleby was issued in parts causing Smith to cite these points as "in some copies." This copy has both "visiter" and "latter" deeming it a scarce first edition bound from the first state of the publisher's parts. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine.

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.<br/><br/>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.

Dickens Charles
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby.
London: Chapman and Hall 1839. First edition of one of Dickens' most popular novels. Octavo bound in full morocco by Morrell ornate inlay to the spine front and rear panels raised bands inner dentelles illustrated with 40 plates. In fine condition. Housed in a custom slipcase. An exceptional presentation. 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 hardcover books

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

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

Dickens Charles
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

1870. With Illustrations. Boston: Fields Osgood & Co. 1870. Original green cloth. First American Edition second issue with added material -- of the tale left unfinished at the time of Dickens's death in June 1870. In addition to DROOD this second issue adds James T. Fields's introductory "Some Memories of Charles Dickens" plus Dickens's "George Silverman's Explanation" "Holiday Romance" "Sketches of Young Couples" "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.

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 original green cloth in the second binding state -- 9-1/16 inches tall with a generic design replacing the FO&Co emblem on the covers and with a JRO&Co monogram rather than FO&Co at the foot of the spine: when James T. Fields retired on New Year's Day 1871 the firm became James R. Osgood & Company. The volume is in very good condition minor external wear pp 13-16 edge-worn with tape mend at gutter also reinforced at the gutter of the frontispiece. Smith pp 412-416; Podeschi Yale A156; Carr UTexas B278; Wilkins p. 35 Smith notes that later copies were bound without the FO&Co initials on the covers but does not note any change in spine monogram; otherwise this JRO&Co binding is is not cited by any of these sources. <br/><br/> hardcover books
