‎OLIVER TWIST" A MUSICAL FREELY ADAPTED FROM THE BOOK BY CHARLES DICKENS‎

‎Np 1950. 345314513791028 leaves plus numerous unnumbered inserted leaves. Quarto. Original typescript with frequent revisions and alterations throughout in pencil and occasionally in ink with a few inserts in carbon typescript. Punched and enclosed in leatherette binder. Generally very good to fine. An original working typescript for this evidently unproduced musical adaptation with text and lyrics by Rosen to be accompanied by music by Carleton Carpenter. The undertaking was quite ambitious and this draft stems from a point of ongoing substantive revision. Evidently plans proceeded to a further stage as tipped in front is a clipping from an unidentified trade paper indicating that Cyril Ritchard had been signed for the lead and negotiations were ongoing for a Broadway run produced by Kermit Bloomgarden. However IBDB records no such production though Rosen's and Carpenter's other Broadway accomplishments are represented. Rosen is there credited with staging the 1938-9 WPA Production of Shaw's ANDROCLES AND THE LION at the Lafayette Theatre in New York which ran 104 performances and featured an all African American cast. hardcover books‎

‎OLD LEAVES: GATHERED FROM HOUSEHOLD WORDS‎

‎London: Chapman & Hall 1860. Contemporary three quarter brown morocco and marbled boards a.e.g. Binding worn joints mended some restoration to spine front binder's free endsheet cracking at gutter; just a sound copy. First edition. An uncommon collection containing fifteen of Dickens' articles including some well-known pieces: "A Curious Dance Round a Curious Tree" "A Plated Article" and "Valentine's Day at the Post Office." Dickens revised the texts of these pieces for this book publication and Wills dedicated the volume to Dickens. The editor's copy with his bookplate William Henry Wills on the front paste-down and a statement written out by a later owner in ink on a prelim narrating the provenance of this volume: it stayed with Wills' widow "formerly Miss Janet Chambers" until her death in 1892 when "Mr. Wills' library was inherited by my aunt Lady Priestly and is now in the possession of her son Dr. R. Priestly and to a smaller extent in that of her second son Mr. J.G. Priestly K.G. who presented me with this volume. G.E.S. Chambers. Edinburgh. May 1911." William Henry Wills' lifelong association with Dickens began in the fall of 1845 when Wills became the novelist's personal secretary and general administrative assistant. Wills had contributed to Bentley's MISCELLANY in 1837 had been a member of the literary staff of PUNCH at its founding in 1841 and had served since 1842 as assistant editor of Chambers's JOURNAL in Edinburgh. "On John Forster's suggestion Wills was made assistant editor of 'Household Words' and was given the same position by Dickens when ten years later 'All the Year Round' was incorporated with it. His business capacity was invaluable to Dickens and he was one of the most intimate friends of the novelist in later life. At the end of 1851 Wills accompanied Dickens on his theatrical tour in connection with the Guild of Literature and Art to the temporary success of which his exertions largely contributed. In 1868 while Dickens was in America Wills suffered concussion of the brain from an accident in the hunting field and was disabled from his duties as editor of 'All the Year Round.' He never recovered and retired from active work" - DNB. ECKEL pp.187-8. GIMBEL D35. SUZANNET E50. Chapman & Hall hardcover books‎

The Personal History of David Copperfield. With Illustrations by H.K. Browne. London: Bradbury & Evans 1850. <br/><br/>First edition in book form first state following all but two of the twenty points listed in Smith in the primary binding. Octavo 8 3/4 x 5 1/2 in; 222 x 138 mm. xiv 1 errata 1 blank 624 pp. Engraved frontispiece title page and thirty-eight engraved plates after Hablot K.Browne aka "Phiz". The two points not in their first state are p. 132 line 20 "screamed" for "screwed" and double end quotes on p. 368 line 24. <br/><br/>Publisher's 'variant' binding of moderate olive green fine-diaper grain cloth; the front and back covers entirely stamped in blind with a three line border which encloses a rectangular frame that occupies the length of the covers. Within the frame there is an ornament of leaves and stems in each corner and a chain like design that runs along its inner surface; each segment of the chain encloses s four-headed flower and is bordered by a nipple 30 on each cover: 10 at each side and 5 each at the top and bottom. The spine is stamped in blind with; the lettering is in gold DAVID/COPPERFIELD between the first and second panels and CHAs. DICKENS centered within the third panel from the top.

Moddie Miller Edinburgh on front paste-down.<br/><br/>Some small and very neat repairs to spine extremities. Inner hinges expertly and almost invisibly repaired. Spine very slightly faded a few very minor and pale stains on the cloth sides corners very slightly bumped with a little show-through of the boards. A very good copy the plates remarkably clean and fresh for this book.<br/><br/>Following the serial publication of the novel in parts May 1849 - Nov. 1850 the novel was published in book form on November 14 1850.<br/><br/>"As is well known this novel being largely biographic was the first one by Dickens written in the first person. The original sales did not exceed 25000 copies its later popularity more than equalized the failure as an early money-maker. With many lovers of the author's works 'David Copperfield' ranks as the finest of his writings. With a book which gave to the world such characters as Betsy Trotwood Micawber the Pegottys and Mr. Dick to mention only a few it would have been strange if it had been otherwise. The rather meagre profits again brought to the author the necessity for a personally-owned and conducted periodical and this subsequently formulated itself into his Household Words. <br/><br/>Smith I:9.

London: Bradbury & Evans 1848. <br/><br/>First edition first issue with the 'eight-line errata' following all but a very few of the points in Smith in book form of Dickens' seventh novel bound from the original monthly parts with stab-holes present in the inner margins of gatherings. Octavo 8 3/4 x 5 1/2 in; 222 x 138 mm. xvi 1 errata 1 blank 624 pp. Engraved frontispiece titlepage and thirty-eight plates after Hablot K. Browne "Phiz" including the 'dark' plate "On the Dark Road" facing p. 547.<br/><br/>Some of the plates with light foxing mainly marginal otherwise a very clean and partially uncut example.<br/><br/>Publisher's 'primary' binding of moderate olive-green fine-diaper grain cloth; the front and back covers entirely stamped in blind with a three-line border which encloses a rectangular frame that occupies the length of the covers. The frame contains an ornament of leaves and stems in each corner and a chain-like design that runs along its inner edge; each segment of the chain encloses a four-headed flower and is bordered by a nipple. The spine is lettered in gilt and stamped in blind with a thick band at its top and bottom and four rectangular panels. Original pale orange-yellow coated endpapers. With nearly all of the 'internal flaws' mentioned by Smith uncorrected. Front joint head and tail of spine and inner hinges expertly and almost invisibly repaired spine slightly faded. An excellent example far better than is usually seen of this now hard to find Dickens novel in the original cloth. <br/><br/>"Dombey and Son originally appeared in twenty numbers bound in nineteen monthly parts the last forming a double number from October 1846 - April 1848. It was published in book form on April 12 1848. at 21s.<br/><br/>Dombey and Son contains the first published example of a so-called dark plate which was created by a machine process that tinted the etched plate and heightened its black-and-white contrast. The one dark plate in Dombey and Son is "On the Dark Road" p. 547. The smooth blending of light and shadow on this illustration vividly contrasts it with the other illustrations in the novel and is a fine example of the dark plate process."
