A Complete Set of the Nine Extra Christmas Numbers of ALL THE YEAR ROUND
1859. London: Office of All The Year Round / Chapman & Hall 1859-1867. In nine volumes. Original self-wrappers first four and blue printed wrappers last five -- as issued.<br/><br/> First Editions of all nine "Extra Christmas Numbers" of this periodical that Charles Dickens founded and edited for its nine years of existence. Previously he had likewise founded Household Words which likewise lasted nine years -- and which has nine Extra Christmas Numbers as well. In addition to editing these tales Dickens also wrote a portion of them -- specifically per Eckel: Christmas 1859: THE HAUNTED HOUSE. Dickens wrote "The Mortals in the House" "The Ghost in Master B's Room" and "The Ghost in the Corner Room" as well as most of the other opening paragraphs. Christmas 1860: A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA. Dickens wrote Chapters I II and V plus passages in the others; the rest is by Wilkie Collins. Christmas 1861: TOM TIDDLER'S GROUND. Dickens wrote Chapters I VI and VII. Christmas 1862: SOMEBODY'S LUGGAGE. Dickens wrote "His Leaving It Til Called For" "His Boots" "His Brown-Paper Parcel" "His Wonderful End" plus part of "His Umbrella." Christmas 1863: MRS. LIRRIPER'S LODGINGS. Dickens wrote Chapters I and VII. Christmas 1864: MRS. LIRRIPER'S LEGACY. Dickens again wrote Chapters I and VII. Christmas 1865: DR. MARIGOLD'S PRESCRIPTIONS. Dickens wrote Chapters I VI and VIII. Christmas 1866: MUGBY JUNCTION. Dickens wrote "Barbox Brothers" "Barbox Brothers and Co." "Main Line" and "No. 1 Branch Line." Christmas 1867: NO THOROUGHFARE. Dickens wrote the Overture Act III plus parts of Act I and Act IV; Wilkie Collins wrote the rest. As for condition all nine issues are near-fine the self-wrappers of the first four have some minor expert restoration; the latter five's blue wrappers are just about fine except for some small ink-drops on the fifth; the leaves of the 1864 and 1867 issues are unopened. It is very tough to assemble all nine of these in this condition. Podeschi Yale E11 E13-E20. Housed in a handsome though lightly scuffed full-morocco case with inner chemise. unknown books

A CURIOUS DANCE ROUND A CURIOUS TREE
1860. London: St. Luke's Hospital 1860. Original pale pink wrappers. First Edition second and usual issue -- with the final paragraph in bold not like the rest of the text with the wrapper pink not mauve -- though all are today faded with the front cover title followed by a comma not by a period and with the front cover border decorative only at the corners not all 'round. Dickens describes the wretched conditions inside St. Luke's Hospital "established in 1751 for the treatment and care of lunatics" and in particular the "very sad and touching spectacle" of the annual Christmas Ball there dancing around the Christmas tree. He actually wrote the original piece in 1852 at which time it appeared in his Household Words Dickens's authorship was questioned until 1913 when the original manuscript -- in his hand -- turned up. It is here published in book form for the first time eight years later when Dickens gave permission for the hospital to use it as a fundraising appeal. The hospital added two items to update the piece: an article about the 1860 Ball from the "Times" plus a brief article "Contrast between 1852 and 1860" in which the hospital asserts that many of the deficiencies cited by Dickens have since been addressed. The results of the initial mailing were not good -- which is why for this second issue the final paragraph the actual appeal was highlighted in bold. This is a fine copy of this very fragile item with scarcely any wear soil or foxing; as usual the pink wrappers have faded. Tipped to a corner of the inside front wrapper is an old but hyperbolic catalogue description. As with almost all copies there is a vertical crease because the booklet was folded vertically when the fundraising appeal was mailed out in narrow envelopes. Uncommon in this condition. Podeschi Yale B216 second copy; Carr U of Texas B465; Eckel pp 188-191. Housed in a cloth clamshell case lined with felt. <br/><br/> hardcover books

A CURIOUS DANCE ROUND A CURIOUS TREE
1860. the very scarce first issue London: St. Luke's Hospital 1860. Original pale mauve wrappers. First Edition first issue -- with the final paragraph in the same type as the rest of the text and not in bold type with the wrapper mauve and not pink -- though all are today faded with the front cover title followed by a period not by a comma and with the front cover border decorative on all sides not just at the corners.

As Hatton and Cleaver note in their bibliography A Tale of Two Cities has "practically no 'points' sufficiently outstanding to distinguish the earlier printings." However both H&C and Smith agree that copies with the misprint on page 213 corrected and lacking the signature "b" on page ix are decidedly second printings. This copy has the first issue points. Foxing all plates and some pages have been inserted. All plates and pages are present except no publisher's catalog which is not present in all copies.

Dickens Charles
A Tale of Two Cities.
London: Chapman and Hall 1860. First edition third issue of one of Dickens' most enduring works with the date on the title page updated to MDCCCLX. Octavo bound in three quarter morocco over marbled boards with burgundy morocco spine label lettered in gilt gilt ruling to the spine and panels marbled endpapers all edges marbled. Sixteen plates after H.K. Browne including frontispiece and title vignette. In very good condition. Bookplate. The most famous and possibly the most popular of Dickens's novels A Tale of Two Cities shows a master of dramatic narrative extracting gold from the ore of history. If the bloody tableau of the French Revolution were not in itself sufficient for a dozen novels Dickens added to it a professional resurrectionist an authentic ogress and an antihero as convincingly flawed as any in modern literature. "Dickens had always admired Carlyle's History of the French Revolution and asked him to recommend suitable books from which he could research the period; in reply Carlyle sent him a 'cartload' of volumes. So great was Dickens' enthusiasm for the story that it had indeed 'taken in possession' of him. The force of the novel springs from its exploration of darkness and death but its beauty derives from Dickens' real sense of transcendence from his ability to see the sweep of destiny" Ackroyd 858. The last of Dickens' books to be illustrated by H.K. Browne "Phiz" with 16 engraved plates by him. "Browne for 23 years responsible for all the etchings which had so successfully embellished these Dickens' books produced his last drawings for the present work. Bradbury and Evans the printers of all and publishers of five of Dickens' works as issued in monthly parts had ceased to act in this dual capacity after completion of Little Dorrit. resulting in the return of Chapman and Hall as publishers of this and all succeeding works" Hatton & Cleaver 333.

All 18 Christmas Numbers from HOUSEHOLD WORDS and ALL THE YEAR ROUND
1850. This is a complete set Dickens's annual "Extra Christmas Numbers" -- all nine of HOUSEHOLD WORDS followed by all nine of ALL THE YEAR ROUND. London: Dec. 1850 - Dec. 1858 and Dec. 1859 - Dec. 1867. Original self-wrappers first 13 numbers and original blue printed wrappers last five numbers -- as issued. First Editions of all eighteen pieces. Dickens was the editor or "conductor" of both of these periodicals -- one rising out of the ashes of the other -- but he also wrote at least part of the Christmas story in each of these eighteen numbers. The stories in HOUSEHOLD WORDS are: 1850 "A Christmas Tree" is by CD 1851 "What Christmas is as we Grow Older" is by CD 1852 A ROUND OF STORIES "The Poor Relation's Story" and "The Child's Story" are by CD 1853 ANOTHER ROUND OF STORIES "The Schoolboy's Story" and "Nobody's Story" are by CD 1854 THE SEVEN POOR TRAVELLERS "The First Poor Traveller" and "The Road" are by CD 1855 THE HOLLY-TREE INN "The Guest" "The Boots" and "The Bill" are by CD; the rest is by Wilkie Collins 1856 THE WRECK OF THE GOLDEN MARY most of "The Wreck" plus the hymn on p. 21 are by CD; the rest is by Wilkie Collins 1857 THE PERILS OF CERTAIN ENGLISH PRISONERS chapters I and III are by CD; chapter II is by Wilkie Collins 1858 A HOUSE TO LET "Going into Society" is by CD The stories in ALL THE YEAR ROUND are: 1859 THE HAUNTED HOUSE "The Mortals in the House" "The Ghost in Master B's Room" and "The Ghost in the Corner Room" are by CD -- as well as all but one of the other opening paragraphs 1860 A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA chapters I II and V plus passages in other chapters are by CD; the rest is by Wilkie Collins 1861 TOM TIDDLER'S GROUND chapters I VI and VII are by CD 1862 SOMEBODY'S LUGGAGE the first second part of the third seventh and tenth chapters are by CD 1863 MRS. LIRRIPER'S LODGINGS chapters I and VII are by CD 1864 MRS. LIRRIPER'S LEGACY chapters I and VII are by CD 1865 DOCTOR MARIGOLD'S PRESCRIPTIONS chapters I VI and VIII are by CD 1866 MUGBY JUNCTION the first four chapters are by CD -- as indicated on the front cover 1867 NO THOROUGHFARE the Overture Act III and parts of Acts I and IV are by CD; the rest is by Wilkie Collins listed as co-author All eighteen numbers are in very good-plus or near-fine condition with only very minor edge-wear and soil though the 1851 issue has a couple of closed tears on the front wrapper and an ink-mark on the rear. Five of the numbers HhW 1854 through 1858 still have unopened leaves; a few appear that they might once have been bound up though not trimmed or anything. They are housed in a modern cloth case with inner chemise. Though the last five numbers the ones in blue wrappers are not uncommon the others have become rather scarce; it is now quite unusual to encounter a complete collection of all eighteen. Eckel pp 193-197 "In good state they a complete set are hard to find" -- this in 1932!. unknown books
