‎GREAT EXPECTATIONS. In Three Volumes‎

‎1861. in original cloth Second Edition. London: Chapman and Hall 1861. Original wavy-grain blind-stamped violet cloth with gilt-decorated spines. "Second Edition" so-called on the three title pages technically the second of the five slightly-differing 1861 impressions of the first edition. GREAT EXPECTATIONS was one of the few Dickens novels that did not first appear in monthly serial parts; instead it appeared in 36 weekly numbers of Dickens's periodical All The Year Round. Also GREAT EXPECTATIONS was one of only two Dickens novels not to be illustrated as a first edition the other being HARD TIMES. The five "editions" of this three-decker all have title pages dated 1861; the first with no mention of an "Edition" on the title pages was in the public's hands by July 6th; this "Second" was published on August 5th followed by the "Third" on August 17th the "Fourth" on September 21st and the "Fifth" on October 30th. Although Walter Smith in 1982 stated "these first five issues were probably printed at a single impression and published with altered title pages to imply and encourage a rapid sale" it has since been shown the 1993 Clarendon Edition analysis by Margaret Cardwell that there are subtle differences among the five issues many of them instances of type slippage. There are only four issue points that involve actual re-setting of the type as opposed to type deterioration see Clarendon p. 493 -- in this "Second Edition" they read "in" on Vol I page 259 line 7 "gto et" on Vol II page 205 line 20 "there's" on Vol III page 173 line 26 and "himself very carefully" on Vol III page 192 lines 11-12. This set is still in the original publisher's wavy-grain violet cloth blind-stamped on the covers and decorated in gilt on the spines; GREAT EXPECTATIONS was published without half-titles and in this set none of the three volumes has an ad catalogue. Condition is good-to-very good: the volumes are unnecessarily re-backed with just a bit of darker cloth peeking through where there is minor wear at some spine ends and with un-original but quite early light-yellow endpapers applied over the original paste-downs; also the top edge is gilded. The Vol III spine gilt is a little brighter than that on Vol II which in turn is not as rubbed as Vol I. An old engraved portrait of Dickens is applied to the Vol I rear paste-down. The actual first issue of GREAT EXPECTATIONS without an "Edition" cited on the title pages is the Holy Grail for Dickens collectors since it is virtually impossible to find in fine condition in original cloth most copies having gone directly from the publisher to Mudie's Select Library where they were rented out fortnightly. The first issue fine in original cloth now brings more than $100000 when such a copy surfaces seldom; even rebound it is a major investment. Thus these subsequent "editions" in the same binding and bearing the same date as the first are greatly sought-after for the majority of us seeking the primary format without such a cost.

‎HARD TIMES‎

‎1854. From Dickens' "Household Words." New-York: Published by T.L. McElrath & Co. 1854. Original light tan wrapper with the imprint of Fetridge & Co. Boston. First American Edition published on August 8 1854. HARD TIMES first appeared in America in twenty weekly issues of Household Words in May to September 1854. In an 1857 issue of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper there is a brilliant account of the 1854 McElrath and Harper editions of HARD TIMES that had come out three years earlier; we quote it here with the kind permission of our friend Walter Smith bibliographer of Dickens's American editions. When young McElrath. a beginner in the business succeeded in securing the right to the advance sheets of Dickens's "Hard Times" by paying fifteen hundred dollars -- a price which the Harpers would not pay -- they the Harpers determined to oppose him. The only advantage that could accrue to him from his heavy outlay was the receipt of the few last chapters two or three weeks in advance of their publication in London. These he received printed the whole in book form and expected to remunerate himself by the sale of a large edition before other publishers could get out the English copy. He trusted to the courtesy and honor of the other publishers to secure him in the possession of his honorably purchased right. But the Harpers were waiting for him. They had kept pace with the publication chapter by chapter and on the day that McElrath issued the book complete they probably secured the first copy set up the last chapters and the next day came out with an edition at half the price sold a large edition at cost price entirely stopped the sale of McElrath's book robbed him of the profits of his enterprise and literally crushed the young rival out of existence. Though the title page of this copy reads "New-York: Published by T. L. McElrath & Co. 1854" the front wrapper reads "Boston: Fetridge & Co. 1854." Fetridge was not a publisher but rather a retailer who had arranged to be a distributor of McElrath's edition; this is one of several binding variants of the first edition. This copy does have the 25-cent price on the wrapper so it may have been an earlier copy sold; other copies most likely those sold at a discount after Harper had killed their sales bear no price. This copy is in good-to-very good condition -- quite collectible for such a fragile volume some wear to the wrapper edge about half of the wrapper's plain spine chipped away light damp-stain at the foot of the last few leaves.

‎Hard Times. For These Times.‎

‎London: Bradbury & Evans 1854. First edition in book form of Dickens' attack on the living conditions of England's mid-19th century industrial cities. Octavo original green cloth blindstamped with gilt titles to the spine including the "Price 5/-" in gilt at the base of the spine and p.244 misnumbered as 44. In near fine condition with the half-title present which is often lacking. Housed in a custom three quarter morocco and chemise slipcase. Initially published serially in Household Words between April and August of 1854 Hard Times was published in book form almost immediately following the final serial in 1854. Viewed as a departure from Dickens' previous tales the work presents what was to become an increasingly somber picture of contemporary society in Dickens' works. Critics such as George Bernard Shaw and Thomas Macaulay focused on Dickens' treatment of trade unions and his post-Industrial Revolution pessimism in regards to the divide between capitalist mill owners and undervalued workers during the Victorian era. F. R. Leavis a great admirer of the book included it - but not as a whole - in his Great Tradition of English novels. Bradbury & Evans hardcover books‎

Household Words was considerably more popular in England than America and its publishing history in America is "almost absolutely dark as is the whole subject of periodical printing and 'arrangements' . The 1850's were years of copyright agitation in America and certainly no legally protective arrangements were possible to the English publishers before the journal was discontinued in 1859. And it is not surprising that the course of Household Words was not so brilliant in American as was that of its successor All the Year Round . It was partially a local work and not quite so interesting to an America as to an English reader; it had changed publishers too often; there was no legitimate arrangement between the English proprietors and the American publishers; it was sold at too high a price; it had been published by inexperienced people and therefore had not received proper publicity and promotion; and its lack of pictorial illustration made it unpopular with the masses" Buckler William E. "'Household Words' in America" in Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America vol. 45 pp. 160-66.<br/><br/>Household Words was published every Wednesday from March 1850 to May 1859. unknown books‎
