Few first novels have created as much popular excitement as The Pickwick Papers a comic masterpiece that catapulted its twenty-four-year-old author to immediate fame. Readers were captivated by the adventures of the poet Snodgrass the lover Tupman the sportsman Winkle and above all by that quintessentially English Quixote Mr Pickwick and his cockney Sancho Panza Sam Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy fracas of the Eatanswill election via the Fleet debtors prison characters and incidents sprang to life from Dickenss pen to form an enduringly popular work of ebullient humour and literary invention.

1837. By Boz. To which is added The Pantomime of Life by the same author. Philadelphia: Carey Lea & Blanchard 1837. Bound in full mottled calf with raised bands on the spine. First Edition so collected. In January 1837 Carey Lea & Blanchard published a "Library of Fiction" anthology volume titled THE TUGGS'S AT RAMSGATE "Together with Other Tales by Distinguished Writers" -- the first American appearance of that one Dickens sketch. A month later CL&B published a volume titled SKETCHES BY BOZ which consisted of the Dickens sketches contained in the Second Series of the British SKETCHES BY BOZ neither the UK nor the US edition included "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate".

The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" and "A Little Talk about Spring and the Sweeps.
1836. In: THE LIBRARY OF FICTION or Family Story Teller; consisting of Original Tales Essays and Sketches of Character. With Fourteen Illustrations in each volume. Vol. I & II. London: Chapman and Hall 1836/1837. Bound in contemporary half calf with marbled boards. First Edition in book form. Chapman & Hall's monthly fiction periodical "The Library of Fiction" began in April 1836 starting right off in that issue with the sketch "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" by a writer using the pseudonym "Boz." The third June issue included another "A Little Talk about Spring and the Sweeps." When the Second Series of SKETCHES BY BOZ was published in December 1836 the latter tale was included re-titled "The First of May"; "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" was the only one of Dickens's periodical sketches that did not appear in either volume of SKETCHES BY BOZ -- but it was added when SKETCHES BY BOZ was subsequently issued in serial parts from Nov 1837 through June 1839. These two volumes contain the monthly issues of this new periodical with preliminary leaves added for this book form the second volume issued in 1837 did not have any Dickens contributions but is included here. "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" includes two plates by Seymour and "Spring and the Sweeps" has one by Buss; both illustrators would soon be involved with PICKWICK PAPERS. Other contributors include Edward Mayhew G.P.R. James Douglas Jerrold Mary Russell Mitford and the Countess of Blessington. This set is bound in contemporary half calf with gilt-paneled spine and black leather spine label and marbled paper-covered boards. Condition is very good minor edgewear of the marbled boards small worm-hole in the first few leaves of Vol II dampmark in the margfin of some plates. See Podeschi E121. unknown books

Illustrated with plates after the originals by "Phiz" Hablot Knight Browne George Cruikshank Frederick Walker Edwin Landseer Daniel Maclise John Leech Marcus Stone George Cattermole and Luke Fildes. Partially unopened. A near fine set. <br/><br/> "The Library Edition came about largely because of the suggestion of Forster that while Dickens's works were available in volumes in the Cheap Edition and in reprints of the serial parts there was no high-quality edition that would appeal to the wealthy. Dickens eventually came round to the idea that an elegant edition could raise the stature of his writings. He faced a complication in that the rights to the works were divided between Chapman and Hall and Bradbury and Evans. Consequently the volumes contained the imprints of both publishers. With a dedication to Forster the Library Edition appeared in 22 volumes in 1858-9 at 7s 6d per volume. Titles included Pickwick Nickleby Chuzzlewit Old Curiosity Shop Reprinted Pieces Barnaby Rudge Hard Times Sketches by Boz Oliver Twist Dombey Copperfield Pictures from Italy Bleak House Little Dorrit and Christmas Books. The only illustrations were the frontispieces.<br/><br/>Between 1861 and 1874 this edition was reissued in 30 volumes with the addition of Tale of Two Cities Great Expectations Our Mutual Friend The Uncommercial Traveller A Child's History of England Christmas Stories and Drood. The reissue contained illustrations—the frontispieces plus additional illustrations by artists such as Marcus Stone John Leech and Clarkson Stanfield—and came to be known as the Illustrated Library Edition.Recognizing the continuing potential for sales of Dickens's works Chapman and Hall in 1873 published a prospectus for the Second Illustrated Library Edition containing they contended all the works the novelist wished to preserve. Calling it the first well-printed issue with specially cast type and better paper than that used in previous editions this set was published in 30 volumes between 1873 and 1876 and sold at £15 for the set a high price for the time" Oxford Companion to Dickens. <br/><br/>Gimbel D72.
