Octavo original wrappers with 40 etchings by Halbot Knight Brown containing all advertisements as issued. In very good condition. Housed in a custom full morocco and chemise pull-off case. Scarce and desirable. Dombey and Son "was well received by its readers and is considered to be the first novel that reflects Dickens's artistic maturity. Dickens told his first biographer 'It was to do with Pride what its predecessor Martin Chuzzlewit has done with Selfishness" Schlicke 280. The work "has a sense of the numinous is more profoundly touched by the sense of last things than any of Dickens' previous novels. It is larger in conception so that human life is seen in terms of its beginning and its end so that grief and forgiveness become more powerful forces within it. Dickens is aware of its status as art and provides here a simulacrum of human life touched by majesty and purpose" Ackroyd 526. The original serials contain the first of Browne's "dark plates" "On the dark Road" in part 18 created by the engraver's lining machine and roulettes that tint the etched plate creating heightened contrast Johannsen Phiz 309.

THE WORKS OF BEAUMONT AND FLETCHER. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY GEORGE DARLEY

Gift inscription to Emily Vine from her mother dated 1857 on title of each volume; extremities raised bands and edges rubbed; covers a little worn and soiled otherwise a good set. From the collection of William E. Self with his book label in each volume. An excellent association copy with a presentation inscription on the half-title in volume one: "J.A. Overs / From / Charles Dickens paraph / 1st November 1840." John A. Overs 1808-1844 a London cabinet-maker by training educated himself and pursued his interests in writing. Dickens became his most important literary friend providing comments on his stories and poems introducing him to newspaper editors and offering financial assistance when Overs became ill. Overs first wrote to Dickens in January 1839 hoping to have some poetry placed in Bentley's MISCELLANY and Dickens recommended several pieces to his successor as editor. "Perhaps more importantly however Dickens advised Overs on the publication of his EVENINGS OF A WORKING MAN 1844 and wrote the preface to the work. . . . In his preface Dickens is careful to emphasize Overs's autonomy stating that although he had given advice to the author on this collection of short pieces he 'never altered them otherwise than by recommending condensation now and then' and assuring the reader that the volume's sketches represented Overs's 'genuine work as they have been his sober and rational amusement'" - DNB. The two men remained close until Overs's death in 1844: "When poor Overs was dying he suddenly asked for a pen and ink and some paper and made up a little parcel for me which it was his last conscious act to direct. She Amelia Overs told me this and gave it me. I opened it last night. It was a copy of his little book in which he had written my name 'With his devotion.' I thought it simple and affecting of the poor fellow" Dickens to John Forster 17 Dec. 1844 in the LETTERS OF CHARLES DICKENS Pilgrim Edition 4240. Edward Moxon hardcover books
