‎THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD and Some Uncollected Pieces‎

‎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. 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 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

‎Bradbury & Evans 1850. First Edition. wrappers. Very good. 20 vols. in 19 a serialization sequentially published over 1 1/2 years. 1st edition 1st issue in the original monthly parts preceding all other editions and read the next sentence deliberately because the distressing phrase you inevitably see is "almost every" while the happy phrase you are about to see is "each and every." This set conforms to each and every point in Hatton & Cleaver all erratum the correct covers all ads all samples and all 40 inserted plates by H. K. Browne including the frontispiece and vignette title. And perfection is important in a Dickens parts serialization because later ads are the telltale sign of later issue in many cases months later so do not discount comprehensiveness as mere frill or turn your back on it the way you would on a drunk woman haphazardly seated nearby at a dinner party who relentlessly keeps insisting that you name your favorite Powerpuff Girl. Original wrappers neat repairs to backstrips light wear at edges else a very good set the old-fashioned very good infrequently offered for sale so clean complete upright and intact a stirring combination of quality magnitude precedence and inclusiveness. Full dark blue morocco case. Collation: Octavo 8 1/8" X 5 9/16". i-vii viii ix x-xii xiii xiv xv-xvi 1 2-624. Reference: Hatton and Cleaver pp. 253-272. Eckel pp. 75-77. Raising his game at the height of his powers Dickens explores writing in the first person and achieves the great novel of initiation finding the ideal balance between the bustling energy of his early works and the mature sense of design exhibited here for the first time. The plotline is pierced by an unsettling exposé of the treatment inflicted on Victorian children and this is buttressed by poignant statements about the terrors and torments of youth coming of age most of which apply in any era and successfully concluding his quest the novel ends with a glimpse of the grown man. Dickens began to write it as pure autobiography but he found the naked facts too personal accordingly many of the events are drawn from his personal experiences but many more are fictionalized from his keen reconnaissance of life. However Micawber can be no other than Dickens' father and there is no doubt that David Copperfield is Dickens himself. And knowing that he had laid the needle against the redline pin on the great-ometer he openly stated more than once that Copperfield was his favorite from among all his books.

‎London: Bradbury & Evans 1850. First edition. Near Fine. H.K. Browne. Bound by Bayntun in full red polished calf Dickens' portrait stamped in gilt on the front board blue and green morocco spine labels all edges gilt marbled end papers. Tipped in to the first blank is an envelope signed by Charles Dickens. Internal contents are in excellent condition clean and bright. Slight wear to the outer joint of the front board still holding well. A lovely copy of one of Dickens' best and his most autobiographical novel. <br/><br/>"David Copperfield has always been among Dickens' most popular novels and was his own 'favorite child.' The work is semi-autobiographical and although the title character differed from his creator in many ways Dickens used him to relate early personal experiences that had meant much to him -- his work in a factory his schooling and his emergence from parliamentary reporting into successful novel writing" Britannica. Like many of Dickens' novels David Copperfield uses an individual tracing his widening system of relationships as he moves through life to explore the interconnectedness of humans the way race gender and class can affect their paths and the degree to which we have free-will.
