Spines slightly faded to a uniform medium brown and front cover of "Haunted Man" just subtly sunned to olive brown "Chimes" with faint foxing to engraved title opening "Haunted Man" with light offsetting to printed title as usual other trivial imperfections but A SPLENDID SET--clean and fresh internally "Carol" being virtually pristine and THE REMARKABLY CHARMING BINDINGS WITH NO SIGNS OF USE.<br/> <br/> This is the ultimate bibliophile's set of Dickens' five Christmas books: first editions in especially fine condition in authentic Cosway bindings by the creators of that style and with an autograph letter signed by Dickens or one of the artists who illustrated these works bound into each volume. "A Christmas Carol" the immortal story of how ghostly visitations finally inject the miserly Scrooge with the Christmas spirit is called by Eckels "the greatest Christmas book from the pen of any man . . . . Artistically it was a pronounced success and from a literary aspect it has delighted millions of readers." The work is not only finely written but its sentiments had great appeal for Victorian taste.<br /> <br /> Our copy has all of the text first issue points listed in Smith and Eckel but those bibliographers disagree as to whether yellow Smith or green Eckel endpapers have priority. William Todd distrusted all internal issue points beyond uncorrected text including color of the endpapers. He believed the most reliable way to determine priority of issue was by studying the location of the gilt wreath on the cover which was stamped by a single machine. He says "This desideratum is a single point one encompassing all the others and if it is to be a sign of issue the one last appearing in the course of manufacture." The brass stamp with the cover design shifted to the left and developed imperfections as time went on so Todd assigned priority to volumes with the most distance 14-15 mm. between the right edge of the blind-stamped border on the left side of the cover and the left-most extremity of the gilt wreath and with a perfect "D" in the author's name within that wreath. By these criteria our copy is a first issue. As an added bonus our volume contains a letter written and flamboyantly signed by Dickens to Messrs. Curry and Co. concerning newspaper piracy of his works by "wholesale robbers."<br /> <br /> The warm reception of "A Christmas Carol" prompted Dickens to launch a series of four further Christmas books. "The Chimes" was described by the author to his friend and biographer John Foster as striking "a blow for the poor" while "The Cricket on the Hearth" presented domestic life in the ideal Victorian home. "The Battle of Life" is a love story with a happy ending a Victorian rom-com for the holidays and "The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain" finds another grumpy old man learning about the spirit of Christmas from a ghost. The illustrations for these works were done by some of the most popular artists of the day including those whose letters are bound into volumes here: Richard Doyle 1824-83 who created the first cover and the masthead for "Punch"; John Leech 1817-54 well known for his political cartoons and humorous illustrations for "Punch"; Daniel Maclise 1806-70 whose professional life was devoted primarily to painting especially portraits and historical scenes; and Sir John Tenniel 1820-1914 illustrator of "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass."<br /> <br /> This set was splendidly bound by the masters of the Cosway binding: Riviere Stonehouse and Currie. The "Cosway" style of binding with painted miniatures inlaid in handsome morocco apparently originated with the London bookselling firm of Henry Sotheran about 1909 the year G. C. Williamson's book entitled "Richard Cosway" was remaindered by Sotheran and presumably given this special decorative treatment. The name "Cosway" then was used to describe any book so treated whatever its subject. Admirable miniatures on Cosway bindings were executed by Caroline Billin Currie 1849-1940 from 1910 until her death creating such paintings for Sotheran's usually as here from designs by J. H. Stonehouse for bindings executed by Riviere. The portraits created by Miss Currie for this work show a maturing Dickens from youthful idealism to successful middle age to gray eminence and the festive decoration of the bindings virtually shouts "Merry Christmas" from the bookshelf. The portraits gracing Cosway-style bindings vary greatly in their level of achievement; Miss Currie's paintings are universally acknowledged as the very best. Finally the condition of our set is so fine not even Scrooge himself could find fault with it. Chapman and Hall (first three); Bradbury & Evans (last two) unknown‎

Original blue wrapper from the August serial publication bound at the front.</p><p>Bleak House is a novel by Charles Dickens first published as a 20 episode serial between March 1852 and September 1853. The novel has many characters and several sub-plots and is told partly by the novel's heroine Esther Summerson and partly by an omniscient narrator. At the centre of Bleak House is a long-running legal case in the Court of Chancery Jarndyce and Jarndyce which came about because a testator wrote several conflicting wills. In a preface to the 1853 first edition Dickens claimed there were many actual precedents for his fictional case. One such was probably the Thellusson v Woodford case in which a will read in 1797 was contested and not determined until 1859. Though the legal profession criticized Dickens's satire as exaggerated this novel helped support a judicial reform movement which culminated in the enactment of legal reform in the 1870s.<br />Wikipedia</p><p>Charles John Huffam Dickens FRSA 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870 was an English writer and social critic.

‎Bleak House‎

‎This is a complete 2-volume 1st U.S. Edition set of "Bleak House" by Charles Dickens. 1853 1st U.S. Edition; Harper & Brothers; New York. Both volumes feature full-page facing illustrations by H.K. Browne. <br /><br />BLEAK HOUSE<br />Often considered Charles Dickens's masterpiece Bleak House blends together several literary genres—detective fiction romance melodrama and satire—to create an unforgettable portrait of the decay and corruption at the heart of English law and society in the Victorian era. Opening in the swirling mists of London the novel revolves around a court case that has dragged on for decades—the infamous Jarndyce and Jarndyce lawsuit in which an inheritance is gradually devoured by legal costs. As Dickens takes us through the case's history he presents a cast of characters as idiosyncratic and memorable as any he ever created including the beautiful Lady Dedlock who hides a shocking secret about an illegitimate child and a long-lost love; Mr. Bucket one of the first detectives to appear in English fiction; and the hilarious Mrs. Jellyby whose endless philanthropy has left her utterly unconcerned about her own family.<br /><br />As a question of inheritance becomes a question of murder the novel's heroine Esther Summerson struggles to discover the truth about her birth and her unknown mother's tragic life. Can the resilience of her love transform a bleak house And—more devastatingly—will justice prevail<br /><br />Condition:<br />Light soiling to covers; worn corners. Both volumes are tightly bound with no cracks and no loose pages. VOL I: a section at the top edge of the spine has chipped off; tiny tear at bottom-center of spine; tear at center of hinge between left edge of spine and back cover. Heavy foxing to the end papers leading up to the opposite side of the frontispiece but not on the frontispiece; lighter consistent foxing throughout the book. Name written in pen at top edge of title page; otherwise good condition pages with no writing stains or tears found. VOL II - similar page condition to Vol I. Harper & Brothers hardcover‎

This song originally came from a collaboration Dickens had with the composer John Hullah. The two wrote a comic opera titled "The Village Coquettes." The show premiered in 1836 and ran for 19 nights in London before moving to Edinburgh where it was performed under new direction. The reviews were less than favorable and over time Dickens grew to agree with them once stating that he "wouldn’t repeat his productions for a thousand pounds apiece" and he reportedly wished for his foray into theater The Village Coquettes and a piece called The Strange Gentleman to be forgotten completely F.G. Kitton. In 1870 the year Dickens died the composer Lesta Vesé tried their hand at breathing new life into the song and 55 years later Charles Wakefield Cadman thought to try as well.
