THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD: THE TRIAL OF JOHN JASPER. Original Photograph of the Jury Being Sworn gelatin silver print approximately 5 3/4 x 8 inches
N.p. London n.d.: 1914. 1914. In January 1914 the Dickens Fellowship organized a dramatic 'trial' in the King's Hall Covent Garden. John Jasper played by Frederick T. Harry stood trial for the murder of Edwin Drood. G. K. Chesterton best known for the Father Brown mystery stories was the judge and George Bernard Shaw was the foreman of the jury which was made up of other authors. J. Cuming Walters author of THE COMPLETE EDWIN DROOD led the prosecution while Cecil Chesterton acted for the defense. Proceedings were very lighthearted; Shaw in particular made wisecracks at the expense of others present. For instance Shaw claimed that if the prosecution thought that producing evidence would influence the jury then "he little knows his functions".<br/>The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter Shaw stating that it was a compromise on the grounds that there was not enough evidence to convict Jasper but that they did not want to run the risk of being murdered in their beds. Both sides protested and demanded that the jury be discharged. Shaw claimed that the jury would be only too pleased to be discharged. Chesterton ruled that the mystery of Edwin Drood was insoluble and fined everyone except himself for contempt of court." - Wikipedia. Image a bit of tarnished several light creases very good overall. Newsprint caption worn frayed and chipped with loss of several lines of copy. Number "2033" in crayon on verso as well as remnants of "N. Y.

It began with a frame story in which Master Humphrey tells about himself and his small circle of friends which includes Mr. Pickwick and their penchant for telling stories. Several short stories were included followed by the novels The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge. It is generally thought that Dickens originally intended The Old Curiosity Shop as a short story like the others that had appeared in Master Humphrey's Clock but after a few chapters decided to extend it into a novel. Master Humphrey appears as the first-person narrator in the first three chapters of The Old Curiosity Shop but then disappears stating "And now that I have carried this history so far in my own character and introduced these personages to the reader I shall for the convenience of the narrative detach myself from its further course and leave those who have prominent and necessary parts in it to speak and act for themselves."<br/><br/>Master Humphrey is a lonely man who lives in London. He keeps old manuscripts in an antique longcase clock by the chimney-corner. One day he decides that he would start a little club called Master Humphrey's Clock where the members would read out their manuscripts to the others. The members include Master Humphrey; a deaf gentleman Jack Redburn; retired merchant Owen Miles; and Mr. Pickwick from The Pickwick Papers. A mirror club in the kitchen Mr. Weller's Watch run by Mr. Weller has members including Humphrey's maid the barber and Sam Weller.<br/>Master Humphrey's Clock appeared after The Old Curiosity Shop to introduce Barnaby Rudge. After Barnaby Rudge Master Humphrey is left by himself by the chimney corner in a train of thoughts. Here the deaf gentleman continues the narration. Later the deaf gentleman and his friends return to Humphrey's house to find him dead. Humphrey has left money for the barber and the maid no doubt by traces of love that they would be married. Redburn and the deaf gentleman look after the house and the club closes for good.<br/><br/>In the portion of Master Humphrey's Clock which succeeds The Old Curiosity Shop Master Humphrey reveals to his friends that he is the character referred to as the 'single gentleman' in that story.<br/><br/>Provenance: With the armorial bookplate of Barbara Hylton Madge 1882-1967 on front paste-downs. Barbara Hylton Madge was the wife of Lieut. Col. C.A. Madge and mother to John Madge who wrote The Origins of Science Sociology. His brother Charles Henry Madge who was a poet journalist and a literary figure from his early twenties and founder of Mass Observation.<br/><br/>Smith I 6.

Dickens Charles
Engraved ticket to Charles Dickens's farewell dinner
London 1867. Admission ticket #70 for the public banquet given in honor of Charles Dickens as he embarked on his final American reading tour. In 1867 Dickens was at the height of his literary fame and the grand farewell dinner at London's Freemason's Hall was attended by almost five hundred guests including Matthew Arnold Wilkie Collins Alfred Tennyson and Anthony Trollope. In his response to the toasts Dickens outlined his reasons for returning to America: " I am inspired . . . by a natural desire to see for myself the astonishing change and progress of a quarter of a century over there to grasp the hands of many faithful friends whom I left upon those shores to see the faces of a multitude of new friends upon whom I have never looked and last not least to use my best endeavor to lay down a third cable of intercommunication and alliance between the old world and the new." Dickens was overwhelmed by the occasion writing to his friend Harry Wills the following day: "When I got up to speak but for taking a desperate hold of myself I should have lost my sight and voice and sat down again." A near-fine artifact of the Victorian literary scene. Pale green coated card measuring 3 x 4.5 inches printed recto only: "Dinner given to Mr. Charles Dickens / on the occasion of / His Departure for the United States / Freemason's Hall Great Queen St. / Saturday November 2nd 1867 Seven o'clock."

Twenty-eight engraved plates by various artists including Robert Seymour and Robert William Buss.<br/><br/>Publisher's dark green bead-grain cloth over boards covers with arabesque design stamped in blind spines lettered in gilt all edges uncut coated yellow end-papers. Covers of volume I with some damp-staining expertly rebacked with original spine laid down; covers of volume II with joints expertly repaired and end-papers renewed with matching paper.

Housed in an early twentieth century olive green morocco over green cloth board slipcase with central divider. Two spines with five raised bands elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments.<br/><br/>"Dickens' first article in the first number of The Library of Fiction "The Tuggses at Ramsgate" Vol. I pp. 1-18 was published on the selfsame day as the first number of the Pickwick Papers: 31 March 1836. Like Pickwick the story is set partly in and partly outside London and involves common London types: the fatuous nouveau riche Tuggses the mercenary Waterses and various impertinent and whimsical carriage drivers and land." Philip V. Allingham Victorian Web.<br/><br/>"Dickens' other article in the Library of Fiction "A Little Talk About Spring and Sweeps" Vol. I pp. 113-119 was first published in May 1836. It sets out to depict the traditional spring celebrations in the streets that Boz remembers so well from his childhood. These festivities in the shape of spontaneous street performances and merry dances of young sweeps have by now deteriorated into a fake and shabby charade that has nothing authentic about it. Boz laments the fact that nowadays the dancers are no longer real child sweeps but actors who produce a contrived and ungainly performance. Boz's description of the celebrations now and in the past is interrupted by a lengthy digression into the biographies and careers of certain young chimney sweeps the account of whose mysterious original introduces an aura of imaginative speculation into the sketch." Dickens and the Imagined Child.<br/><br/>Rare in the original cloth neither Sadleir nor Wolff had examples in the cloth.<br/><br/>Contains two early pieces by Dickens in Volume I both attributed to "Boz" and printed in the first and second series respectively of Sketches by Boz: "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" pages 1-18 with two plates engraved by Landells after Robert Seymour the first illustrator of Pickwick; and "A Little Talk About Spring and Sweeps" pages 113-119 with one plate by J. Jackson after R.W. Buss Pickwick's second illustrator. <br/><br/>"The peculiar purpose of the ‘Library of Fiction' is to put is readers in possession at a moderate price of a series of Original Tales and Sketches all carefully selected from among a host of candidates; and many of them written by Authors of the very loftiest pretensions in the field of imaginative composition" publisher's "Address" Volume I. <br/><br/>Originally issued in fourteen monthly parts from April 1836-May 1837 with two additional parts issued in June and July 1837. <br/><br/>Eckel pp. 137-9.
