LAYAWAY PURCHASE RECEIPT. P. F. Collier Publisher 14 Dupont Street San Francisco. 2. 19 . 1887
San Francisco 1887. Now housed in an archival mylar sleeve. Age-toning. Vertical fold line. Very Good. A fill-in-the-blanks job-printed receipt for this California publisher detailing layaway terms. Verso with blanks to record customer's payment record. 3-7/8" x 10" <br/><br/>One Francis Cutting has deposited One Dollar as of February 19 1887 towards purchase of "1 Set Dickens" at a list price of $10.00. The set was paid in full March 21st of that year. As background to this transaction we find that in the 1870s Collier started work as a salesman for P. J. Kenedy publisher of books for the Roman Catholic market. When Collier wanted to boost sales by offering books on a subscription plan it led to a disagreement with Kenedy so Collier left to start his own subscription service. P. F. Collier & Son began in 1875 expanding into the largest subscription house in America with sales of 30 million books during the 1900–1910 decade." Wiki So here offered a surviving 1880s receipt of Collier's very successful subscription business. unknown books

Oliver Twist Photoplay Edition
New York: Grosset & Dunlap 1912. Photoplay Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. Photoplay edition. Stamp-style bookplate featuring Dickens portrait affixed to front paste-down endpaper ink gift note on front free endpaper boards lightly soiled. 1912 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. xv 1 432 pp. 8vo. Green cloth gilt image of Dickens on front board black titles. Illustrated with photographs from The Liebler Company's Centenary Celebration production of J. Comyn Carr's Adaptation of the Novel first acted by a special cast at the New Amsterdam Theatre New York City February 26 1912. "Oliver Twist subtitled The Parish Boy's Progress is the second novel by English author Charles Dickens published by Richard Bentley in 1838. The story is about an orphan Oliver Twist who endures a miserable existence in a workhouse and then is placed with an undertaker. He escapes and travels to London where he meets the Artful Dodger leader of a gang of juvenile pickpockets. Naively unaware of their unlawful activities Oliver is led to the lair of their elderly criminal trainer Fagin. Oliver Twist is notable for Dickens' unromantic portrayal of criminals and their sordid lives.1 The book exposed the cruel treatment of many a waif-child in London which increased international concern in what is sometimes known as "The Great London Waif Crisis": the large number of orphans in London in the Dickens era. The book's subtitle The Parish Boy's Progress alludes to Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress and also to a pair of popular 18th-century caricature series by William Hogarth A Rake's Progress and A Harlot's Progress.2 An early example of the social novel the book calls the public's attention to various contemporary evils including child labour the recruitment of children as criminals and the presence of street children. Dickens mocks the hypocrisies of his time by surrounding the novel's serious themes with sarcasm and dark humour. The novel may have been inspired by the story of Robert Blincoe an orphan whose account of hardships as a child labourer in a cotton mill was widely read in the 1830s. It is likely that Dickens's own early youth as a child labourer contributed to the story's development.3 Oliver Twist has been the subject of numerous film and television adaptations and is the basis for a highly successful musical play and the multiple Academy Award winning 1968 motion picture made from it.

Dickens. D'Oyly Jr. Thomas b. 1821. Harley John Pritt 1786 1858 Recipient. Dickens Charles. 1812 1870 Subject
AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED. Reform Club Pall Mall. April 4th 1843
1843. Self-wrappers. Some age-toning. Writing clear & sharp. Very Good. Single sheet of light grey stationery folded once vertically to form 4 pages 24 lines ~ 85 words. 7-1/8" x 4-3/8" <br/><br/>D'Oyly writes Harley who was fairly close to Dickens at the time & for whom Dickens wrote The Strange Gentleman asking for an introduction to the rising star of the British literary world. "if you would be so kind as to give me a letter of introduction to Mr. Charles Dickens Boz that is to say provided you can so so without impropriety inserted above trouble for I have long wished to know him both from reading his inimitable works & also what I have heard of him personally." Evidently Harley did so for Dickens writes Harley on 6 April "Thank you very for consulting me in the matter of our friend's note. unidentified by Pilgrim letters editors He must be a rum customer I take it for he had written me before forwarding a book of Poems of his writing: the which I graciously acknowledged. Therefore I should thought he needed no other Introduction. Whatever you desire to do in the matter - do - and be assured it will please me." Pilgrim Letters v. 3 p. 468. Apparently the two did not meet at least in the early 1840s for according to Dickens' Letters 1840 - 1846 there is no correspondence with D'Oyly. unknown books
