Some articles illustrated with cuts. 8vo. <br/><br/>Volume collects a number of issues of Household Words No. 150 February 5 1853 to No 177 August 13 1853 followed by an issue of The International Magazine of Literature Art and Science Vol V. No. IV April 1 1852 which republishes "Choice Secrets" from Household Words No. 100 21 February 1852. This a quite rare publisher's collection issued no doubt in an effort to move surplus stock. We find only two institutional holdings surprisingly enough apparently not held by Yale and it's the first time we've ever had a copy. Printed for the Publishers hardcover books
