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.

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
