‎DICKENS Charles.‎

‎The poor traveller: Boots at the Holly-Tree Inn: And Mrs. Gamp.‎

‎By Charles Dickens. London: Chapman and Hall 193 Piccadilly 1864. F’cap 8vo; half-title not called for; final leaf integral advertisements for the ‘Illustrated Library Edition’ and the ‘Cheap and Uniform Edition’ verso blank; pp.114ii; lime green wrappers printed on sides in black the front wrapper not bearing a date the back wrapper advertising under the heading ‘Cheap and uniform editions Of Mr. Dickens’s Christmas Books’ the four titles already published in the series i.e. the whole series except for the present title; issued without free end-papers. Slight chipping to paper of spine; light marking to first and last two leaves and a very few fox-spots; extensive pencilled excision marks and alterations to the text of ‘The Poor Traveller’ evidently intended to produce a shorter reading version v. note; otherwise a nice copy. The alterations to the text are in a hand closely resembling Dickens’ own and some of them - in particular the addition of the word ‘above’ after ‘gallery’ in l.10 on p.30 and the substitution of ‘his history’ for ‘everything’ at l.15 on p.18 which are not necessitated by any of the cuts and are in fact mainly stylistic changes - are of a kind that one would not expect unless they were authorial. The excision marks the text to be omitted outlined in pencil with the outlined area being filled by cross-hatching or diagonal strokes is a method known to have been used by Dickens for a similar purpose in other reading copies. In a few places a word or a sentence has been underlined for emphasis when reading this also being the general habit of the author. One or two other marks are less interpretable but may be intended to indicate ‘louder’ or ‘softer’. Though there is no sign of provenance the volume was purchased in 2008 at the Bloomsbury Auction sale of the residue of the Dobson family papers as part of a bundle and it may have come to them directly from a Dickens family source. Philip Collins Charles Dickens: The Public Readings Clarendon Press Oxford 1975 p.155 declares that the volume “has not been reprinted since the 1858 trade edition†which given the date on the title-page of the present copy is evidently false. Though printed by Bradbury and Evans like the 1858 edition this copy bears the publisher’s imprint of Chapman and Hall on both the title-page and cover the cover imprints having for both publisher and printer an ampersand instead of the word ‘and’ and would appear to rank as the first Chapman and Hall edition. The relationship between both the printed and the adapted text here and that of the ‘prompt copy’ text recorded by Collins is unclear this copy retaining in the printed version some text excised from the prompt copy before it was printed and excluding some text that the prompt copy retains while the revised text coincides with the post-printing revisions in the prompt copy on occasion but elsewhere differs the major difference in this shortened version being the entire exclusion of Mary Marshall as a character though she is still referred to at the start as the reason for Richard Doubledick having signed up. There is evidence that the cuts were made in two distinct series. It was frequent publisher’s practice at the time to date volumes a year ahead in which case this copy may actually have been ready or published in 1863 and may conceivably have been used as part of Dickens’s preparation for a reading he gave in London on the 12th of June though it is more probable perhaps that it may relate simply to the reading given in Glasgow on the 25th of February 1869 which as recorded in the Letters his agent Dolby rather to his annoyance advertised by mistake. All books listed by Robert Temple are first editions unless otherwise stated. unknown‎

‎and HIS GHOST.‎

‎The Mystery Of Edwin Drood. Complete. By Charles Dickens. Brattleboro Vt.: Published by T.P. James 1873. Med.8vo; binder’s blank at front and back; half-title not called for; title-page to Part Second with copyright notice on verso dedication leaf 4pp. Medium’s Preface signed by Thos. P. James Brattleboro Vt. September 25 1873 4pp. Author’s Preface and Contents leaf follow general title-page; pp.xvi488; bevelled rust brown fine sand grain cloth ruled and blocked blind on sides blocked and lettered gilt on front cover ruled blocked and lettered gilt on spine; brown and white head and tail bands; pale buff end-papers. Neat restorations to cloth at head and tail of spine and spine slightly spotted; cloth a little worn at corners; otherwise a nice copy. Not in the CBEL list of continuations nor in Sadleir nor Wolff. The second title-page reads: ‘Part second Of the Mystery of Edwin Drood. By the spirit-pen of Charles Dickens Through a medium. Embracing also that part of the Work which was published prior to the Termination of the Author’s Earth-Life. “Cogito ergo sum.†Brattleboro Vt.: Published by T.P. James 1873.’ The book was printed and bound in Springfield Mass. by Clark W. Bryan & Company. Dickens campaigned vigorously during his lifetime against American piracies of his work. Here in his Preface written presumably from Heaven he omits to mention the reasons that have now induced him to dictate the unfinished portion of this novel to an American pirate. It is pleasing to see though that James did remember to copyright it! Being dead however is evidently to be avoided: it is bad for the style.

‎John Jasper’s Secret: Being A narrative of certain events Following and explaining “The Mystery of Edwin Drood.†With twenty illustrations.‎

‎London: Publishing Offices: No. 342 Strand 1872. Demy 8vo; half-title not called for; wood-engraved frontispiece and nineteen illustrations some signed ‘R.H.’; pp.iv252; publisher’s green crushed-morocco-grain leatherette ruled and blocked blind on sides and spine lettered gilt on spine; end-papers coated pale yellow. Unobtrusive restoration to tail of front joint; plate 9 ‘The Daughter of her Father’s House’ omitted by an original binding fault and plate 10 ‘The China Shepherdess makes an Accusation’ bound in twice; one or two leaves or sections a little proud apparently reflecting the fact that the volume is made up from untrimmed parts; otherwise and in general effect a very nice copy. Almost certainly published during 1871 but dated ahead as was the common British practice at the time. The American edition published by Peterson and Bros. in Philadelphia was so dated. It bore the title ‘John Jasper’s Secret: a Sequel to Edwin Drood’ that being also what appears on the spine of the present volume and it contains two fewer plates. CBEL III p.444 giving the date as 1871; Sadleir 705; not in Wolff. Attributed to Henry Morford. Stab-holes make clear that the present copy has been bound up from the original eight parts. All books listed by Robert Temple are first editions unless otherwise stated. hardcover‎

‎Hunted down: A story.‎

‎By Charles Dickens. With some account of Thomas Griffiths Wainewright The poisoner. Woodcut vignette of ‘The Fatal House No.12 Conduit Street W.’ London: John Camden Hotten 74 & 75 Piccadilly N.D. 1870. Sm.f’cap 8vo; pp.89i printer’s imprint; Victorian half red polished sheep ruled gilt on sides tooled and lettered gilt up spine oil-marbled sides and matching end-papers; t.e.g. Very slight rubbing to leather of spine and small corner cut from front end-paper; some scattered light foxing passim; a nice copy nonetheless. Queen’s Quorum 4 denominating it ‘HQR’ i.e. as having Historical significance Quality and Rarity; Eckel p.199. The first English and first separate edition of a story originally serialised in the issues of ‘The New York Ledger’ for August 20th and 27th and September 3rd 1859 and then in England in ‘All the Year Round’ August 4th and 11th 1860 Eckel erroneously says ‘April’. The story was first collected in book form in Leipzip by Bernhard Tauchnitz in 1860 in a collection which also included the first appearance in book form of ‘The Uncommercial Traveller’ sketches and reprinted in a collection with other stories ‘The Lamplighter’s Story; Hunted Down; The Detective Police; and Other Nouvelletes’ by T.B. Peterson and Brothers of Philadelphia in 1861. Eckel seems not to have known of the Tauchnitz printing and lists the Philadelphia printing as the first collected appearance. All books listed by Robert Temple are first editions unless otherwise stated. hardcover‎
