A very good copy in a very good slipcase. 1915 Full-Leather. We have more books available by this author!. 808 pp. Includes slipcase. Top page ridge gilt. Illustrated by A.H. Buckland. "The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit commonly known as Martin Chuzzlewit is a novel by Charles Dickens considered the last of his picaresque novels. It was originally serialised between 1842 and 1844. While he was writing it Dickens told a friend that he thought it was his best work1 but it was one of his least popular novels.2 The late nineteenth century English novelist George Gissing read the novel in February 1888 "for refreshment" but felt that it showed "incomprehensible weakness of story".3 Like nearly all of Dickens's novels Martin Chuzzlewit was first published in monthly instalments. Early sales of the monthly parts were disappointing compared to previous works so Dickens changed the plot to send the title character to the United States.4 This allowed the author to portray the United States which he had visited in 1842 satirically as a near-wilderness with pockets of civilisation filled with deceitful and self-promoting hucksters. The main theme of the novel according to Dickens's preface is selfishness portrayed in a satirical fashion using all the members of the Chuzzlewit family. The novel is also notable for two of Dickens's great villains Seth Pecksniff and Jonas Chuzzlewit. It is dedicated to Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts a friend of Dickens's.

‎THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD and Some Uncollected Pieces‎

‎1870. With Illustrations. Boston: Fields Osgood & Co. 1870. Original green cloth. First American Edition second and usual issue with added material -- of the tale left unfinished at the time of Dickens's death in June 1870. The scarce earlier issue withOUT the "Uncollected Pieces" was bound only in wrappers; furthermore the subsequent additions are just that -- the text of DROOD is exactly the same in both issues. This has led some bibliographers to speculate that the two issues may be from the same printing with only a change in the title page: Smith noting that he could not find a publication date for the first issue says "Perhaps such copies represent a prepublication state rather than an issue and were published simultaneously with copies which had the uncollected pieces.". The "Uncollected Pieces" consist of James T. Fields's introductory "Some Memories of Charles Dickens" plus Dickens's "George Silverman's Explanation" "Holiday Romance" "Sketches of Young Couples" and "New Uncommercial Samples" plus "The Will of Charles Dickens." Since 1867 Ticknor & Fields and then Fields Osgood had been Dickens's authorized publisher in America; they had serialized DROOD in their weekly Every Saturday and then published this book in early September. Ticknor & Fields had specifically commissioned Dickens to write "Holiday Romance" so that it could appear in their children's periodical Our Young Folks in 1868. Harper also serialized DROOD in a monthly Dickens supplement to Harper's Weekly but did not get their book edition out until late September. This copy is in the primary binding state -- 9-7/16 inches tall with the FO&Co emblem on the covers and at the foot of the spine -- and it is green one of three colors without priority. The volume is in near-fine condition very minor wear at the spine ends. Smith pp 412-416; Podeschi Yale A156; Carr UTexas B278; Wilkins p. 35. <br/><br/> hardcover‎

‎1837. By Boz. With Other Tales and Sketches by other authors from Bentley's Miscellany and The Library of Fiction. Philadelphia: Carey Lea and Blanchard 1837. Original drab boards with rose cloth spine and printed label. First Edition of this early collection of tales by various authors -- which constitutes one of Dickens's earliest American appearances in book form. According to Podeschi 2000 copies were printed in April 1837. This Dickens tale was not collected in an all-Dickens volume until ten years after his death -- in THE MUDFOG PAPERS 1880. Also included in this volume is "An Evening of Visits" by "J. Fennimore Cooper Esq. sic". This volume is in very good-plus condition closed tear in front free endpaper rose cloth faded as always slight rubbing of the spine label; one cannot encounter these Philadelphia volumes from the 1830s in much better condition.

‎"The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" and "A Little Talk about Spring and the Sweeps" by "Boz." In: THE LIBRARY OF FICTION‎

‎1836. monthly issues in wrappers Family Story-Teller; consisting of Tales Essays and Sketches of Character Original and Selected. London: Chapman and Hall n.d. 1836. Six issues including everything Dickens contributed of the original fourteen in original printed wrappers. First Appearances of two of Dickens's very earliest stories. Dickens contributed only these two sketches by "Boz" to this monthly literary periodical. The first issue undated but April 1836 included his "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate"; also included are two plates by Robert Seymour illustrating this story. The third issue two months later included his "A Little Talk about Spring and the Sweeps"; one of the two plates in this issue by R.W. Buss relates to this story. In mid-1837 all fourteen of the monthly issues would be published as the two-volume anthology titled THE LIBRARY OF FICTION. These were the only two "sketches by Boz" that appeared in this periodical but many others appeared in half a dozen other periodicals. In February 1836 Dickens's first book the two-volume SKETCHES BY BOZ was published by John Macrone -- containing 37 "Sketches" but not of course these two as they had not yet appeared. In December 1836 the "Second Series" of SKETCHES BY BOZ was published in one volume 21 more which included "A Little Talk about Spring and the Sweeps" but re-titled "The First of May." With the book publication of both Series of SKETCHES BY BOZ all of Dickens's periodical appearances had been published -- with the sole exception of "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate." SKETCHES BY BOZ was issued in monthly parts after book publication at which time this oversight was corrected -- as "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" was added in Parts XV-XVI. This is actually a group of six of the fourteen original issues -- the first four plus the sixth and eighth "Boz" is represented in only the first and third; other writers include G.P.R. James Edward Mayhew and Douglas Jerrold. As an aside the monthly issues of THE LIBRARY OF FICTION started up the same month as the serialization of Dickens's next book PICKWICK PAPERS -- so the rear covers of these LIBRARY issues advertise that book with its two initial illustrators Seymour and Buss Seymour would soon be dead and Buss would soon be fired -- opening the door for Hablot K. Browne a.k.a. "Phiz". Speaking of "Phiz" accompanying a Mayhew tale in the sixth monthly issue is his depiction of "that notorious and daring burglar by name John Smith": Phiz's depiction of Smith dressed in a striped waistcoat has been identified as the visual prototype of the character about to join the cast of PICKWICK PAPERS -- Tony Weller -- who overnight would turn that serial from a dismal failure into a huge success see Kitton Dickens and His Illustrators p. 62. Condition is very good to near-fine minor edge-wear spines slightly rolled but the wrappers are clean and whole and the plates -- two per issue -- are sharp and bright. Although the two-volume THE LIBRARY OF FICTION is not overly scarce especially rebound these individual wrappered issues are not just scarce but rare. Podeschi E121; see Smith I p. 15; Eckel pp 137-139 who noted in 1932 "the excessive scarcity of a complete run of the original fourteen parts is well known". This is the Sherwood / Davies / Drizen copy housed in a handsome morocco-backed clamshell case with inner chemise by The Chelsea Bindery. <br/><br/> unknown‎

‎EVENINGS OF A WORKING MAN‎

‎1844. a "probably unique" binding being the Occupation of His Scanty Leisure: with a Preface relative to the Author by Charles Dickens. London: T.C. Newby 1844. 3 pp ads. Original blind-stamped olive green cloth spine lettered in gilt. First Edition. Overs was a carpenter who "had shown some literary ability" Eckel but was now fatally ill with tuberculosis; Dickens assisted him in getting his writings published as a financial aid for Overs's soon-to-be widow and children. The book is dedicated to the doctor who was caring for Overs. Dickens's nine-page Preface exhorts readers a bit patronizingly to accept "working men" into the class of literary aesthetes. The book itself undoubtedly was partly designed by Dickens as both the red-and-blue-ink title page and the original embossed brown cloth and gilt page edges for the standard cloth binding bear a definite resemblance to his own A CHRISTMAS CAROL then just published; it was also Dickens who recommended the publisher Newby Carr A32. Incidentally in 1844 the publisher T.C. Newby was an "unscrupulous. incorrigible rogue" Lathbury of little account; three years later though still a rogue he would hit it big with WUTHERING HEIGHTS and with Anthony Trollope's first novel. As noted above the standard binding for this book is brown cloth with gilt page edges; this copy however is in blind-stamped olive green cloth with the page edges plain; one of the former owners see list below has penciled "uncut -- probably unique." Condition is very good-plus some wear at the spine edges a few marks and droplet-marks. Podeschi Yale B151; Carr U of Texas B606 pink cloth; Eckel pp 146-147 nobody cites this binding. The likely unique-ness of this copy accounts for the remarkable provenance of this copy: after the armorial bookplates of John Ashton and of C.E. Stewart this volume went via Maggs Bros to Comte Alain de Suzannet bookplate then to Kenyon Starling bookplate then to William Self bookplate and finally to Lawrence Drizen no bookplate. <br/><br/> hardcover‎
