London: Chapman and Hall 1836-1837. <br/><br/>First edition in book form first issue with title-page to Vol. I dated 1836. <br/><br/>Two octavo volumes 8 1/8 x 5 1/8 inches; 206 x 130 mm. iii-vviviiviii 12-384; vi 350. Twenty-eight engraved plates by various artists including Robert Seymour and Robert William Buss.<br/><br/>Publisher's dark green bead-grain cloth over boards covers with arabesque design stamped in blind spines lettered in gilt all edges uncut coated yellow end-papers. Covers of volume I with some damp-staining expertly rebacked with original spine laid down; covers of volume II with joints expertly repaired and end-papers renewed with matching paper. With the bookplate of Eric S. Quayle on front paste-down of volume I. Tipped in at the end is a mid-twentieth century typed booksellers description G.F. Sims of Hurst Reading England of the book.

Housed in an early twentieth century olive green morocco over green cloth board slipcase with central divider. Two spines with five raised bands elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments.<br/><br/>"Dickens' first article in the first number of The Library of Fiction "The Tuggses at Ramsgate" Vol. I pp. 1-18 was published on the selfsame day as the first number of the Pickwick Papers: 31 March 1836. Like Pickwick the story is set partly in and partly outside London and involves common London types: the fatuous nouveau riche Tuggses the mercenary Waterses and various impertinent and whimsical carriage drivers and land." Philip V. Allingham Victorian Web.<br/><br/>"Dickens' other article in the Library of Fiction "A Little Talk About Spring and Sweeps" Vol. I pp. 113-119 was first published in May 1836. It sets out to depict the traditional spring celebrations in the streets that Boz remembers so well from his childhood. These festivities in the shape of spontaneous street performances and merry dances of young sweeps have by now deteriorated into a fake and shabby charade that has nothing authentic about it. Boz laments the fact that nowadays the dancers are no longer real child sweeps but actors who produce a contrived and ungainly performance. Boz's description of the celebrations now and in the past is interrupted by a lengthy digression into the biographies and careers of certain young chimney sweeps the account of whose mysterious original introduces an aura of imaginative speculation into the sketch." Dickens and the Imagined Child.<br/><br/>Rare in the original cloth neither Sadleir nor Wolff had examples in the cloth.<br/><br/>Contains two early pieces by Dickens in Volume I both attributed to "Boz" and printed in the first and second series respectively of Sketches by Boz: "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" pages 1-18 with two plates engraved by Landells after Robert Seymour the first illustrator of Pickwick; and "A Little Talk About Spring and Sweeps" pages 113-119 with one plate by J. Jackson after R.W. Buss Pickwick's second illustrator. <br/><br/>"The peculiar purpose of the ‘Library of Fiction' is to put is readers in possession at a moderate price of a series of Original Tales and Sketches all carefully selected from among a host of candidates; and many of them written by Authors of the very loftiest pretensions in the field of imaginative composition" publisher's "Address" Volume I. <br/><br/>Originally issued in fourteen monthly parts from April 1836-May 1837 with two additional parts issued in June and July 1837. <br/><br/>Eckel pp. 137-9.

In 1832 the future novelist applied to George Bartley the stage manager for Mathews for work in the theatre and an appointment was arranged for an audition. On the day of the appointment however Dickens was laid-up with a terrible cold and was unable to appear.

Dickens Charles "Boz"
A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA and THE UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELER
1861. Philadelphia: T.B. Peterson & Brothers n.d. 1861. Without original wrappers. First American Edition of THE UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELER. "A Message from the Sea" was the All The Year Round Extra Christmas Number at the end of 1860; the pieces that formed THE UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELLER so spelled in England appeared there too and were then published in book form in London in December 1860 though dated 1861. In the U.S. Harper paid to have the pieces appear in Harper's Weekly after which they conveyed the publishing rights to Peterson who published the first American edition on 2 February 1861 advertised at 50 cents. As bibliographer Walter Smith indicates Peterson was and is a bibliographer's nightmare -- as no volumes were dated and multiple printings are differentiable only by their wrappers and ads; however a general rule of thumb is that Peterson's first format was wrappers without illustrations followed by cloth with separately-inserted plates and then cloth with integral illustrations. This is a volume from Peterson's "Uniform Edition" of Dickens's works initially bound in wrappers no longer present. This volume consists of a joint title page 5 a Contents page 7 and text continuously-paginated from p. 9 through p. 169 THE UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELER begins on p. 75. The ads printed on p. 170 actually bearing the page number "7" at the foot list other authors' books that were first published no later than 1860; this is the same ad page as appeared in Peterson's first American edition of GREAT EXPECTATIONS which was published on 27 July 1861 -- and therefore this is not the very first printing of this edition. Smith lists five copies he examined -- this copy plus four in institutional collections -- and only two of them at Kent State and at Wellesley are in wrappers but even those bear a price of 75 cents and thus are not the very first printing; Smith was unable to locate a single copy in wrappers bearing the price of 50 cents. All of this means: this is a scarce book! Except for the fact that the original wrappers are lacking this volume is in fine condition spine overlaid with archival paper. Smith pp 121-125 the "personal copy" of Note 2a is this one -- which Smith has signed in pencil; see Podeschi Yale D25. Housed in a simple paperboard folder. unknown books

DICKENS CHARLES & RICHARD HENRY DANA JR
Autograph Letter Signed from Richard Henry Dana Jr. Giving the Ecstatic Response of America to the Visit of Charles Dickens
Boston: 3 1/4 pages 9 3/4 by 7 3/4 inches January 31 1842. Original Autograph Letter Signed “Richd. H. Dana Jr.†written to Dana’s English publisher Edward Moxon describing the amazingly warm response of Americans to Charles Dickens visiting Boston. An absorbing letter showing Dana’s wonderful narrative abilities of which more than half is devoted to Dana’s account of Dickens’s stay in Boston during the English author’s celebrated first trip to America in 1842. Moxon was the British publisher of Dana’s Two Years Before the Mast and the recently issued The Seaman’s Friend. “. We have Dickens here with us & the whole town is crazy the author and his wife arrived in Boston from England on 22 January. I doubt if a literary man ever made such a ‘progress’ through a country as he is making through ours. Indeed I am certain it will be an era in literary history . From the moment the steamer was sighted up to this hour. The whole community has been in a high fever . he is obliged to refuse all visitors except at certain hours & then he holds a regular levee. The other day when he went to sit for his portrait on coming out he found the ante room staircase etc. lined with people young & old. One old lady asked him to stand still & let the ladies form a ring round so that all could see him. This was too much for his risibles & he laughed out & told her eager ladyship that he was sorry etc. but was in a hurry — & was going off; when the ladies called out to the artist ‘Do Mr. A. stop him! Don’t let him go!’ In the meanwhile the standard men of literature & wealth are paying him every attention & like him exceedingly . I have met him several times & like him very much. How full of life he is! . He told me much in the way of answering questions about yourself ‘ our friend’ as you call him Capt. Ives & others of whom I was curious to inquire . Dickens has told us many anecdotes of Charles Lamb some of which are not yet published & which interested us very much. You don’t know what a feeling there is here about Lamb .†Boston’s adulatory reception of the English writer reached its climax the next day 1 February with a great banquet held in his honor which Dana also attended. Dickens’s visit to the United States he returned to England in June resulted in his American Notes for General Circulation 1842. Written in brown ink on a bifolium of gray paper with small embossed stamp of T. Groom Boston; address panel postmark and remnants of red sealing wax. A rare view of Dickens in America through the eyes of a significant American writer. 3 1/4 pages (9 3/4 by 7 3/4 inches unknown books
