Root & Son consistently turned-out excellent work both on fine bindings as here and on trade bindings and sets. Packer lists the firm in business in Red Lion Square in 1899-1901 and the December 1942 issue of The Rotarian notes with regret that W. Root had been bombed out uprooted of their premises on Paternaster Row during the 1941 Blitz. There is a record in the June 10 1905 issue of The Academy "Esteemed Editions of various Authors some scarce all in new extra leather bindings. W. Root & Son 29-30 Eagle Street Red Lion Street Holborn W.C." Root & Son are also recorded at the same address in The Literary Year-Book 1909 thirteenth annual volume.

Dickens Charles; Russell Geoffrey
The Life & Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit The Oxford Library of Charles Dickens
New York / Franklin Center Pennsylvania: Oxford University Press / The Franklin Library 1984. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Near Fine/No Jacket. Phiz Browne Hablot Knight. One of 7500 copies. Spine faded. 1984 Full-Leather. xxx 882 pp. Full red leather with navy blue leather onlays gilt titles and decorations all edges gilt silk moire endpapers ribbon marker bound in. Includes forty illustrations by Phiz and an introduction by Geoffrey Russell. "The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit commonly known as Martin Chuzzlewit is a novel by Charles Dickens considered the last of his picaresque novels. It was originally serialised between 1842 and 1844. While he was writing it Dickens told a friend that he thought it was his best work1 but it was one of his least popular novels.2 The late nineteenth century English novelist George Gissing read the novel in February 1888 "for refreshment" but felt that it showed "incomprehensible weakness of story".3 Like nearly all of Dickens's novels Martin Chuzzlewit was first published in monthly instalments. Early sales of the monthly parts were disappointing compared to previous works so Dickens changed the plot to send the title character to the United States.4 This allowed the author to portray the United States which he had visited in 1842 satirically as a near-wilderness with pockets of civilisation filled with deceitful and self-promoting hucksters. The main theme of the novel according to Dickens's preface is selfishness portrayed in a satirical fashion using all the members of the Chuzzlewit family. The novel is also notable for two of Dickens's great villains Seth Pecksniff and Jonas Chuzzlewit. It is dedicated to Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts a friend of Dickens's.

The Most Celebrated of English Clowns"<br/>Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi Superbly Bound by Bayntun ca. 1920<br/>Four Magnificent Color Pictorial Inlaid Characters<br/>Handsomely Extra-Illustrated<br/><br/>DICKENS Charles. BAYNTUN binder. Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi. Edited by "Boz." With Illustrations by George Cruikshank. In Two Volumes. Vol. I. II. London: Richard Bentley 1838. <br/><br/>First edition first issue with no border around final plate and correct page listing in list of "Embellishments." <br/><br/>Two octavo volumes 7 1/2 x 4 5/8 inches; 191 x 117 mm. i-xix xx blank 288 pp; i-ix x blank 263 264 printers imprint. Engraved frontispiece portrait in volume I and twelve engraved plates by George Cruikshank. <br/>The frontispiece to each volume hand-colored volume I. "Joseph Grimaldi" & Volume II. "Grimaldi's kindness to the Giant".<br/><br/>Extra illustrated by the insertion of forty-eight engraved plates eighteen of which are hand colored. Six of the hand colored plates are by F.W. Pailthorpe; six by Isaac Cruikshank and two by George Cruikshank. All three of these artists are famous Dickens illustrators.<br/><br/>Bound ca. 1920 by Bayntun stamp-signed in gilt "Bayntun. Binder. Bath. Eng." on rear silk endleaves. Full forest green crushed levant morocco covers triple-ruled in gilt surrounding a thin inlaid border of black morocco. Spines with five raised bands decoratively bordered in black and gilt in compartments gilt lettering gilt board edges and decorative gilt turn-ins. Front and back doublures of each volume with a superb figure and background inlaid in various colored morocco's. Green watered silk endleaves all edges gilt. Spines very slightly darkened otherwise very fine. Housed in the original fleece-lined green cloth slipcase. A spectacular example of a pair of early Bayntun bindings typical of the firm's first-rate work and use of the best materials. <br/><br/>The four inlaid designs include "Gaby Grin The Eccentric Clown." and three other characters from the book.<br/><br/>Joseph Grimaldi 1779-1837 called by Britannica "the most celebrated of English clowns" and generally considered without equal as a clown of pantomime. Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi is the autobiography of the nineteenth-century clown Joseph Grimaldi. There has been much debate about the exact nature of Dickens' role in the writing of this book. Forster said that Dickens wrote only the introductory chapter; others have said that he edited the manuscript with the help of his father; and Bentley has stated in print that Dickens wrote a significant portion of the work. Eckel says "It is plain that the last chapter is in Dickens' style and that other parts of the book are his. Grimaldi laid the foundation for his memoirs but in a rough and diffuse manner. He gave the manuscript to Thomas Egerton Wilks who after some condensing sold the manuscript to Bentley who in turn passed it to Dickens for the purpose of embroidery." According to Kitton copies with the frame around the final plate as here are more valuable than others because of their relative scarcity; the border was added without Dickens' consent and when he expressed his displeasure it was quickly removed. <br/><br/>Bayntun of Bath. George Bayntun 1873-1940 served his apprenticeship with the Taylor family in Trim Street and started his own bookbinding business in Northumberland Place in 1894. He employed London binders to raise the standard of craftsmanship and soon moved into a larger workshop in Walcot Street. Book Auction Records for 1906 recognized his success: "He has brought intelligence into play as well as high craftsmanship". In 1920 he purchased the bindery business of George Gregory and in 1939 the Bayntun and Rivière binderies were incorporated into a new set of premises on Manvers Street Bath from where the business still operates today. George Bayntun had an especially good relationship with many of the pre-eminent American dealers including Brentano's.<br/><br/>Gimbel B64. Eckel pp. 140-2.

George Cruikshank regaled a dinner of the Antiquarian Society with a rendition of the ballad. On "hearing Cruikshank mournfully intone the word's of the Turks' daughter to the imprisoned LordÂ… Dickens offered to polish it into an even more solemn absurdity. He told Cruikshank to ask his sister Fanny to take down the music and 'to be sure to mark the shades and the expression.' And although he kept his part in The Loving Ballad secret he not only wrote a burlesque introduction and notes but altered lines and substituted a new last verse." Johnson p. 260. It has also been suggested that Thackeray arranged the old ballad Dickens is thought to have contributed the 'scholarly' notes and Cruikshank provided the illustrations. <br />This volume is comprised of four parts the first is an engraving of Thackeray of unknown origin the second is Dec. 1892 Harper's Magazine article by Anne Thackeray Richie considering the history of the story's origin and arguing that her father was responsible without Dicken's contribution. The third part is 4 mss pages in Harry Bache Smith exploring his Bateman holdings and its history and noting a direct contradiction to Richie's argument. Finally and notably there are 3 4-up fo leaves which appear to be maquettes of Cruikshank's illustrations for the 1939 first edition.no other such set is known to exist. <br />An unusual and genuinely significant collection. hardcover books
