‎OUR MUTUAL FRIEND‎

‎London: Chapman and Hall 1865. 2 volumes. First edition with the three page Postscript by Dickens at the end of Volume II and with the rare slip to the reader in Vol. I. Illustrated with 40 engraved plates by Marcus Stone. 8vo bound in contemporary three-quarter rich purple-brown morocco over purple moire cloth covered boards the boards ruled in gilt at the morocco borders the spines with raised bands separating compartments richly gilt in paneled designs two compartments lettered and ruled in gilt end-papers and page edges handsomely marbled. xi 320; viii 309 pp. A very fine copy and thus rare beautifully preserved the bindings and text-blocks and illustrations all in excellent order and virtually without evidence of use or wear. A beautiful set. FIRST EDITION AND A BEAUTIFUL COPY IN AN EXCELLENT STATE OF PRESERVATION. This was the second to last book that Dickens would write and the last one that he would actually finish. The years shortly before the publication of OUR MUTUAL FRIEND were fraught with domestic sorrow that would lead to his eventual decline. He separated from his wife Catherine in 1858 after his admiration for the young actress Ellen Ternan strained his already deteriorating marriage. He further had to defend himself against scandal and protest his innocence when wagging tongues of gossip linked his name to his sister-in-law Georgina’s who had served as his housekeeper for many years. He threw his restless energy into increased productivity and public readings of his work both of which were physically and emotionally exhausting. He suffered from recurrent illnesses during the creation of OUR MUTUAL FRIEND but nonetheless managed to maintain the level of genius in his prose that had pervaded his previous works. He died unexpectedly only five years later while he was writing THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD.<br> He had with this novel “.for the first time given serious consideraiton to the theme of unrequited love. In earlier books it may have been secret or ill-timed but there was always and equilibrium in which both parties seem to accept that they loved or can be loved; and that when eventually they declare their love it is not rejected.†But “there is torture in love and despair and madness. There is some necessary connection between courtship and death.so tht.it is possible to trace the strange curve of Dickens’ temperment exploring extremity in art if not necessarily life.†Ackroyd 955<br> Like most of Dickens’ work OUR MUTUAL FRIEND was published in monthly serial parts the first in May of 1864 and the last in November of 1865. This two-volume set was released almost immediately after the issue of the final episode. An extremely well-preserved set of the first edition of one of Dickens’ final efforts.

‎PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD‎

‎Boston: L. C. Page & Company n.d. circa 1900. 3 volumes. First Edition thus the Edition Magnifique Printed on Japan Vellum One of only 50 copies This copy is number 25. Illustrated with 50 fine plates by Hablot K. Browne Phiz and Frederick Barnard extra illustrated with plates not included in the original edition. 8vo publisher's original light tan calf the spines with dark brown morocco lettering labels gilt and bands in blind the upper covers with the author's name in gilt in the original open-ended slipcase. vii 421; v 428; vii 440 pp. A pristine copy as mint and beautifully preserved the publisher's protective box also in good order but for some minor separation at bottom edge. A VERY FINE FIRST EDITION COPY OF THIS LUXURIOUS PRINTING OF ONE OF DICKENS' BEST BOOKS. For many lovers of the author's works DAVID COPPERFIELD ranks as the finest of his writings. “Of all my books“ Dickens wrote “I like this the best; like many fond parents I have my favourite child and his name is David Copperfield.†It is certainly Dickens’ most personal and autobiographical work especially in the remarkable early chapters describing David’s provincial upbringing and his experiences in the bleak warehouses of London. Abounding in vivid characters such as Uriah Heep Betsy Trotwood Mr. Micawber the Pegottys and Mr. Dick DAVID COPPERFIELD continues to rank among Dickens’ most popular and critically acclaimed works. In this work Dickens displays his talents well: “his inordinate gift of observation his sympathy with the humble his power over the emotions and his incomparable endowment of unalloyed human fun.It gave what were then universally referred to as ‘the lower orders’ a new sense of self-respect a new feeling of citizenship. Like the defiance of another Luther or the Declaration of a new Independence it emitted a fresh ray of hope across the firmament.†EB In this way Dickens’ work is significant on many levels. <br> This beautiful printing by L. C. Page of Boston on fine Japan vellum paper and extra-illustrated with the inclusion of Barnard's illustrations is very rare in the marketplace. This copy is one of only 50 printed and produced. L.

‎LITTLE DORRIT‎

‎London: Bradbury and Evans 1857. First edition first issue with the points as called for including: the three line errata on page xiv "William" for "Frederick" on page 317 line 27 B2 instead of BB2 on pp. 371 lacking errata on page 467 and "Rigaud" for "Blandois" on pp. 469 470 472 and 473. With engraved illustrations by H.K. Browne Phiz this copy bound without frontispiece. 8vo handsomely bound in contemporary dark-green diced calf the spine with gilt tooled raised bands ruled in gilt compartments richly gilt in ornamented panel designs and with a red morocco label lettered and ruled in gilt all edges marbled marbled endleaves. xiv 623 pp. A handsome copy only very minor evidence of age or use sturdy and strong with firm hinges internally solid the text very clean. A bit of minor and all but inevitable spotting to the plates a bit more so to the frontis but still less then is common. FIRST EDITION WITH EARLIEST ISSUE POINTS IN A HANDSOME BINDING OF DARK_GREEN CALF GILT. Little Dorrit was published in 19 monthly installments each with two illustrations by Phiz. Each installment cost a shilling with the exception of the last a double issue which cost two shillings. It is a work of satire on the shortcomings of the government and society of the period.<br>Much of Dickens' ire is focused upon the institutions of debtors' prisons—in which people who owed money were imprisoned unable to work until they repaid their debts. The representative prison in this case is the Marshalsea where the author's own father had been imprisoned. Bradbury and Evans hardcover‎

‎BLEAK HOUSE‎

‎New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers 1853. 2 volumes. First Edition American Issue. Illustrated as called for with a frontispiece engraving of Dickens and 37 additional plates after "Phiz" on various papers. 8vo publisher's original royal blue cloth the covers decorated and stamped in blind the spines lettered and decorated in gilt housed in a dark blue slipcase with black morocco label gilt. xvi 480; 481-936 4 ads pp. A very good and handsome set sometime recased the paper as usual has evidence of foxing as was typical of the stock used by Harper & Brothers at this time. FIRST AMERICAN ISSUE OF THIS IMPORTANT WORK BY DICKENS. PUBLISHED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ENGLISH ISSUE. ‘With BLEAK HOUSE Dickens thought he was making an advance in art. He had been occasionally reproached for the old-fashioned happy-go-lucky progress of his stories and now set himself resolutely to amend the fault. The result was a fiction which his biographer considers very nearly perfect.Nothing is introduced at random everything tends to the catastrophe the various lines of the plot converge and fit to its centre and to this larger interest all the rest is irresistibly drawn.’ see Forster and Gissing<br> There is ingenuity throughout and an almost total disregard for probability.it is a brilliant admirable and most righteous satire upon the monstrous iniquity of “old Father Antic the Law†with incidental mockery of allied abuses which now as then hold too large a place in the life of the English people.
