AMERICAN NOTES for General Circulation
1842. Boz' Works -- No. 21. Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard 1842. Original self-wrapper serving as title page; lacking the rear wrapper. Fourth American Edition just two days after the first! -- second issue. As first put forth in a 1975 article by Peter Bracher and soon to be confirmed in Walter Smith's upcoming bibliography this edition was published on November 9th 1842 two days after Winchester's "New World" edition and Wilson's "Brother Jonathan" edition -- and one day after Harper's edition. Dickens was so upset by the lack of an international copyright law he forewent any negotiations with American publishers -- which is why none of these publishers had advance sheets and all simply had to wait in the harbor for the first boat to arrive with copies of the UK edition published October 19th and then rush to press. This Lea and Blanchard edition has 103 pages of double-column text -- actually 107 pages because inserted between pages 88 and 89 are the two leaves containing pages 85 through 89 a portion of text that the printers in their rush had omitted. It was initially published on November 9th with a frontispiece portrait of Dickens and with "With a Portrait of the Author" on the title page/front wrapper; it was priced at 25 cents double the "New World" and "Brother Jonathan" prices -- i.e. doomed. Thus on the very next day the 10th L&B announced a "new edition" but really just altered copies priced at 12-1/2 cents withOUT the portrait and with the pertinent line on the title page heavily inked out. This is such a second-issue copy the heavy swath of ink gradually ate away that part of the title leaf leaving a long narrow hole that has since been backed by archival paper. This copy was apparently once bound up in something more substantial and now lacks its rear wrapper; the front leaf and final leaf have significant edge-wear. In our experience this is the scarcest and the most fragile of the four earliest American editions. Not in Podeschi Yale; not in Carr UTexas B479; not noted by Wilkins. unknown books

The Life and Adventures of MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT
1844. With Illustrations by Phiz. New-York: published by Harper & Brothers 1844. 2 preliminary pages of undated ads. Original vertically-ribbed blind-stamped purple-brown cloth. Very early American edition second by five days. While the UK edition was being published in 20-in-19 monthly serial parts Harper published the novel in seven serial parts six consisting of three UK parts each followed by the seventh consisting of Part 19/20 -- issued irregularly between March 1843 and July 1844. Harper's final part was issued on July 22nd and three days later the 25th they came out with the same leaves bound in cloth as here priced at $1.00 -- containing the same 14 plates in seven facing pairs as had appeared serially. But J. Winchester of New York after running the novel serially in his monthly "The New World" magazine came out with his edition bound in wrappers and with no illustrations on July 20th -- priced at just 25 cents which Winchester proudly proclaimed to be "the cheapest novel ever issued from the press." MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT in Harper's seven actual wrappered parts is now exceedingly rare -- according to a Harper employee "the sale of the work in numbers was chiefly by newsboys on the street." Harper's book edition did not sell well -- partly because its price was four times Winchester's price but also because the American public did not care for Dickens's criticisms of America in his recent AMERICAN NOTES and in the early chapters of MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT. This copy is in the secondary binding state used for leaves not yet bound up at year-end by which time copies were being sold for 75 or 50 cents: it is identical to the first except that the date at the foot of the spine reads 1845 rather than 1844. Condition is very good minor wear at the binding extremities short tear at the top of the rear joint light cover soil. Smith pp 199-206; Podeschi Yale A74 disbound; Wilkins p. 24. unknown books

HARD TIMES
1854. From Dickens' "Household Words." New-York: Published by T.L. McElrath & Co. 1854. Original light tan wrapper with the imprint of Fetridge & Co. Boston. First American Edition published on August 8 1854. HARD TIMES first appeared in America in twenty weekly issues of Household Words in May to September 1854. In an 1857 issue of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper there is a brilliant account of the 1854 McElrath and Harper editions of HARD TIMES that had come out three years earlier; we quote it here with the kind permission of our friend Walter Smith bibliographer of Dickens's American editions. When young McElrath. a beginner in the business succeeded in securing the right to the advance sheets of Dickens's "Hard Times" by paying fifteen hundred dollars -- a price which the Harpers would not pay -- they the Harpers determined to oppose him. The only advantage that could accrue to him from his heavy outlay was the receipt of the few last chapters two or three weeks in advance of their publication in London. These he received printed the whole in book form and expected to remunerate himself by the sale of a large edition before other publishers could get out the English copy. He trusted to the courtesy and honor of the other publishers to secure him in the possession of his honorably purchased right. But the Harpers were waiting for him. They had kept pace with the publication chapter by chapter and on the day that McElrath issued the book complete they probably secured the first copy set up the last chapters and the next day came out with an edition at half the price sold a large edition at cost price entirely stopped the sale of McElrath's book robbed him of the profits of his enterprise and literally crushed the young rival out of existence. Though the title page of this copy reads "New-York: Published by T. L. McElrath & Co. 1854" the front wrapper reads "Boston: Fetridge & Co. 1854." Fetridge was not a publisher but rather a retailer who had arranged to be a distributor of McElrath's edition; this is one of several binding variants of the first edition. This copy does have the 25-cent price on the wrapper so it may have been an earlier copy sold; other copies most likely those sold at a discount after Harper had killed their sales bear no price. This copy is in good-to-very good condition -- quite collectible for such a fragile volume some wear to the wrapper edge about half of the wrapper's plain spine chipped away light damp-stain at the foot of the last few leaves. Smith pp 323-328 binding C Fetridge; Podeschi A138 third and sixth copies; not in the VanderPoel collection. unknown books

MEMOIRS OF JOSEPH GRIMALDI
1838. Edited by "Boz." With Illustrations by George Cruikshank. In Two Volumes. London: Richard Bentley 1838. 36 pp undated Vol II ads. Original pink cloth embossed with flowers with gilt-decorated spines. First Edition of this early Dickens piece worked on after OLIVER TWIST and before NICHOLAS NICKLEBY -- during the time leading up to his break with the publisher Bentley. There has been considerable controversy regarding just how much Dickens contributed to this book. We quote from Johnson's biography: Bentley had acquired a life of the famous clown Grimaldi longÂÂwindedly and clumsily arranged by Thomas Egerton Wilks from autobiographical notes. He Bentley proposed that Dickens revise it. Dickens stipulated that his name should appear only as editor not as author and demanded a minimum of 300 pounds and a half share of the profits after deduction of expenses to which Bentley agreed. Dickens did no original writing except for an introductory and possibly a concluding chapter. His revisions mostly drastic abridgement he dictated to his father who vastly enjoyed his exalted office as amanuensis. This copy is in the primary binding of pink cloth embossed with a floral design with a clown in gilt holding the title on each spine. It also has the last plate in Vol II in the first state without the "grotesque" border that was added around Cruikshank's plate -- the border was removed for the subsequent 1846 one-volume edition. Condition is very good: as always the pink spines are a little faded and there is very slight shelfwear at the binding extremities there is also a discreet signature at the top of each title page; the original pale yellow endpapers are present and uncracked and foxing of the plates is generally limited to the two frontispieces. In all rather nice condition for these very fragile volumes. Gimbel B64; Carr B599; Eckel pp 140-142; Johnson p. 242. unknown books

The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" and "A Little Talk about Spring and the Sweeps.
1836. In: THE LIBRARY OF FICTION or Family Story Teller; consisting of Original Tales Essays and Sketches of Character. With Fourteen Illustrations in each volume. Vol. I & II. London: Chapman and Hall 1836/1837. Bound in contemporary half calf with marbled boards. First Edition in book form. Chapman & Hall's monthly fiction periodical "The Library of Fiction" began in April 1836 starting right off in that issue with the sketch "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" by a writer using the pseudonym "Boz." The third June issue included another "A Little Talk about Spring and the Sweeps." When the Second Series of SKETCHES BY BOZ was published in December 1836 the latter tale was included re-titled "The First of May"; "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" was the only one of Dickens's periodical sketches that did not appear in either volume of SKETCHES BY BOZ -- but it was added when SKETCHES BY BOZ was subsequently issued in serial parts from Nov 1837 through June 1839. These two volumes contain the monthly issues of this new periodical with preliminary leaves added for this book form the second volume issued in 1837 did not have any Dickens contributions but is included here. "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" includes two plates by Seymour and "Spring and the Sweeps" has one by Buss; both illustrators would soon be involved with PICKWICK PAPERS. Other contributors include Edward Mayhew G.P.R. James Douglas Jerrold Mary Russell Mitford and the Countess of Blessington. This set is bound in contemporary half calf with gilt-paneled spine and black leather spine label and marbled paper-covered boards. Condition is very good minor edgewear of the marbled boards small worm-hole in the first few leaves of Vol II dampmark in the margfin of some plates. See Podeschi E121. unknown books

LITTLE DORRIT
1857. Illustrated Edition. Two Volumes Complete in One. Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson n.d. 1857. Original half calf with marbled boards endpapers and page edges. First American illustrated octavo edition. The first Peterson volume of LITTLE DORRIT in fact the first in book form anywhere was Vol I of the two-volume duodecimo edition published in November 1856 during serialization; in June 1857 once serialization was complete Peterson quickly published the novel in numerous duodecimo including Vol II of the above and octavo formats. One octavo double-column format consists of 317 pages of text -- issued first without illustrations in wrappers or in cloth and soon thereafter with plates inserted. Another octavo format this one has 376 pages of text with the illustrations integrated into the text some sideways. This copy is in contemporary half calf with marbled boards page edges and endpapers. Peterson advertised that his octavo editions of Dickens were available to buyers in four different bindings of half calf in addition to cloth and we have seen numerous volumes in this exact binding -- leading us to believe that this is a publisher's original binding. Stab-holes are evident in the gutter of all leaves -- possibly indicating that it was originally bound up by Peterson in wrappers then put into his standard half calf. Condition is very good with minor rubbing at the extremities. See Podeschi D25. unknown books

DICKENS' NEW STORIES first U.S. edition of "The Seven Poor Travellers"
1855. Containing: The Seven Poor Travellers. Nine New Stories by the Christmas Fire. Hard Times. With a Portrait of the Author engraved on steel. Philadelphia: T.B. Peterson n.d. 1855. Original dark brown cloth blind-stamped with spine vignette in gilt. First Edition so collected first issue in the dark brown binding with spine vignette in gilt "T.B. Peterson" at the foot of the spine and 102 Chestnut Street as the title page address. Although the volume consists of six works "by Dickens" the last three are not "Lizzie Leigh" "The Miner's Daughters" and "Fortune Wildred". The first two pieces in the volume which really do involve Dickens are "The Seven Poor Travellers" and "Nine New Stories by the Christmas Fire": these were the "Extra Christmas Numbers" of Dickens's periodical Household Words for 1854 and 1853 respectively. "Nine New Stories" is the American title for "Another Round of Stories": of the stories Dickens himself wrote "The Schoolboy's Story" and "Nobody's Story." For "The Seven Poor Travellers" this constitutes the first American edition published soon after it came out in London for Christmas 1854; Dickens himself wrote "the First Poor Traveller" and "The Road." Finally Dickens's novel HARD TIMES is also included in this volume in its entirety; it had been serialized in Household Words during 1854 and this is a very early but not first American edition of it. This copy is in near-fine condition very light wear at the spine ends. See Podeschi D25. unknown books

A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA
1860. An Extra Double Number of of All The Year Round. New York: J. M. Emerson & Co. 1860. Original self-wrappers bound in at the rear of the February 1861 monthly issue which has its own pale-yellow printed wrappers. First American Edition "published simultaneously in London and New York " according to the front wrapper -- of the second of the nine extra Christmas numbers of All The Year Round. Dickens actually wrote only the first second and fifth chapters of A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA the remainder having been written by his son-in-law's brother Wilkie Collins. This was the second of the nine extra Christmas number of All The Year Round of which Dickens was the editor. This is the only one of the nine annual numbers to be illustrated -- having on page 5 a woodcut of the actual "message from the sea." This example has the 48-page Extra Christmas Number bound in at the rear of the February 1861 monthly issue which includes the weekly issues of January. Included in those weekly issues are the first two serial parts of GREAT EXPECTATIONS the first of which leads off with the well-known "My father's family name being Pirrip.". Quite scarce -- much scarcer than the London edition. Very good condition wear at the corners. Not in Podeschi Yale -- see E13; see Eckel pp 195. unknown books

1880. Now First Collected. New York: Henry Holt and Company 1880. 6 pp undated ads plus endpaper ads. Original cream cloth decorated in black. First American Edition issued as No. 114 in Holt's "Leisure Hour Series."

It was not until 1880 however that THE MUDFOG PAPERS were published as a separate book by Bentley in England and by Holt in America. This is a very good-plus copy a little soiled as always with these cream-colored "Leisure Hour" volumes. Podeschi Yale D87. unknown books

SPEECH delivered at the Meeting of the ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM ASSOCIATION
1855. at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane Wednesday June 27 1855. London: Effingham Wilson 1855. Original printed self-wrappers. First Edition of this speech Dickens gave to the Administrative Reform Association. Dickens was a founding member of this organization that lambasted the government for its indifference to the plight of the common man. Dickens was unable to be present when Austen Henry Layard addressed a meeting at Drury Lane on June 20th but he was entirely in accord with what Layard said. The evidence of government blue books Layard charged revealed "records of inefficiency records of indifference to suffering records of ignorance records of obstinacy" that were a shame to the nation. The Civil Service was grossly overstaffed with men busy making work for each other. Lord Palmerston personally he denounced for an attitude of levity toward the sufferings of the people. Stung by the attack Lord Palmerston retorted with a sneer about "the private theatricals at Drury Lane." And Dickens fired with indignation determined that such a creature "as this Lord Palmerston" must have it rung "into his soul or what stands for it that the time for Dandy insolence is gone for ever." At a second Drury Lane gathering on the 27th. Johnson It is said that the mood Dickens exhibited giving this address mirrored the mood of the novel he was then writing -- NOBODY'S FAULT the name was changed just before publication to LITTLE DORRIT. This copy properly reads "eighteen hundred" on the first page of text which means that it is not the very first and very scarce issue; however this copy does not have the printer Rickerby mentioned on the title page -- his name was added to only the latest issues. In our experience this mixed issue is the one usually encountered -- though any issue in original wrappers is quite uncommon. Just a bit of soil on the blank rear cover otherwise this copy is fine.

First Edition of Dickens's account of his 1844 tour of Italy. His description of the coaching trips which took him from place to place for five months is full of wonderful observations of his fellow-men. His account of a public execution in Rome is remarkable -- his emotional reaction is held firmly in control but revulsion at the whole proceeding is implicit in every line. CGEL Smith cites bindings both of fine-diaper cloth and of horizontally-ribbed cloth no priority -- see his Note 3; there are also copies in vertically-ribbed cloth. This copy is in horizontally-ribbed cloth and is in near-fine condition volume slightly aslant front endpaper slightly cracked one small front-cover spot.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS. In Three Volumes
1861. in original cloth Second Edition. London: Chapman and Hall 1861. Original wavy-grain blind-stamped violet cloth with gilt-decorated spines. "Second Edition" so-called on the three title pages technically the second of the five slightly-differing 1861 impressions of the first edition. GREAT EXPECTATIONS was one of the few Dickens novels that did not first appear in monthly serial parts; instead it appeared in 36 weekly numbers of Dickens's periodical All The Year Round. Also GREAT EXPECTATIONS was one of only two Dickens novels not to be illustrated as a first edition the other being HARD TIMES. The five "editions" of this three-decker all have title pages dated 1861; the first with no mention of an "Edition" on the title pages was in the public's hands by July 6th; this "Second" was published on August 5th followed by the "Third" on August 17th the "Fourth" on September 21st and the "Fifth" on October 30th. Although Walter Smith in 1982 stated "these first five issues were probably printed at a single impression and published with altered title pages to imply and encourage a rapid sale" it has since been shown the 1993 Clarendon Edition analysis by Margaret Cardwell that there are subtle differences among the five issues many of them instances of type slippage. There are only four issue points that involve actual re-setting of the type as opposed to type deterioration see Clarendon p. 493 -- in this "Second Edition" they read "in" on Vol I page 259 line 7 "gto et" on Vol II page 205 line 20 "there's" on Vol III page 173 line 26 and "himself very carefully" on Vol III page 192 lines 11-12. This set is still in the original publisher's wavy-grain violet cloth blind-stamped on the covers and decorated in gilt on the spines; GREAT EXPECTATIONS was published without half-titles and in this set none of the three volumes has an ad catalogue. Condition is good-to-very good: the volumes are unnecessarily re-backed with just a bit of darker cloth peeking through where there is minor wear at some spine ends and with un-original but quite early light-yellow endpapers applied over the original paste-downs; also the top edge is gilded. The Vol III spine gilt is a little brighter than that on Vol II which in turn is not as rubbed as Vol I. An old engraved portrait of Dickens is applied to the Vol I rear paste-down. The actual first issue of GREAT EXPECTATIONS without an "Edition" cited on the title pages is the Holy Grail for Dickens collectors since it is virtually impossible to find in fine condition in original cloth most copies having gone directly from the publisher to Mudie's Select Library where they were rented out fortnightly. The first issue fine in original cloth now brings more than $100000 when such a copy surfaces seldom; even rebound it is a major investment. Thus these subsequent "editions" in the same binding and bearing the same date as the first are greatly sought-after for the majority of us seeking the primary format without such a cost.

All 18 Christmas Numbers from HOUSEHOLD WORDS and ALL THE YEAR ROUND
1850. This is a complete set Dickens's annual "Extra Christmas Numbers" -- all nine of HOUSEHOLD WORDS followed by all nine of ALL THE YEAR ROUND. London: Dec. 1850 - Dec. 1858 and Dec. 1859 - Dec. 1867. Original self-wrappers first 13 numbers and original blue printed wrappers last five numbers -- as issued. First Editions of all eighteen pieces. Dickens was the editor or "conductor" of both of these periodicals -- one rising out of the ashes of the other -- but he also wrote at least part of the Christmas story in each of these eighteen numbers. The stories in HOUSEHOLD WORDS are: 1850 "A Christmas Tree" is by CD 1851 "What Christmas is as we Grow Older" is by CD 1852 A ROUND OF STORIES "The Poor Relation's Story" and "The Child's Story" are by CD 1853 ANOTHER ROUND OF STORIES "The Schoolboy's Story" and "Nobody's Story" are by CD 1854 THE SEVEN POOR TRAVELLERS "The First Poor Traveller" and "The Road" are by CD 1855 THE HOLLY-TREE INN "The Guest" "The Boots" and "The Bill" are by CD; the rest is by Wilkie Collins 1856 THE WRECK OF THE GOLDEN MARY most of "The Wreck" plus the hymn on p. 21 are by CD; the rest is by Wilkie Collins 1857 THE PERILS OF CERTAIN ENGLISH PRISONERS chapters I and III are by CD; chapter II is by Wilkie Collins 1858 A HOUSE TO LET "Going into Society" is by CD The stories in ALL THE YEAR ROUND are: 1859 THE HAUNTED HOUSE "The Mortals in the House" "The Ghost in Master B's Room" and "The Ghost in the Corner Room" are by CD -- as well as all but one of the other opening paragraphs 1860 A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA chapters I II and V plus passages in other chapters are by CD; the rest is by Wilkie Collins 1861 TOM TIDDLER'S GROUND chapters I VI and VII are by CD 1862 SOMEBODY'S LUGGAGE the first second part of the third seventh and tenth chapters are by CD 1863 MRS. LIRRIPER'S LODGINGS chapters I and VII are by CD 1864 MRS. LIRRIPER'S LEGACY chapters I and VII are by CD 1865 DOCTOR MARIGOLD'S PRESCRIPTIONS chapters I VI and VIII are by CD 1866 MUGBY JUNCTION the first four chapters are by CD -- as indicated on the front cover 1867 NO THOROUGHFARE the Overture Act III and parts of Acts I and IV are by CD; the rest is by Wilkie Collins listed as co-author All eighteen numbers are in very good-plus or near-fine condition with only very minor edge-wear and soil though the 1851 issue has a couple of closed tears on the front wrapper and an ink-mark on the rear. Five of the numbers HhW 1854 through 1858 still have unopened leaves; a few appear that they might once have been bound up though not trimmed or anything. They are housed in a modern cloth case with inner chemise. Though the last five numbers the ones in blue wrappers are not uncommon the others have become rather scarce; it is now quite unusual to encounter a complete collection of all eighteen. Eckel pp 193-197 "In good state they a complete set are hard to find" -- this in 1932!. unknown books

The CRICKET On The HEARTH. A Fairy Tale of Home
London: Printed and Published for the Author by Bradbury & Evans 1846. 1st edition with 2nd state of the OT advert Eckel p. 119; Smith II 6. Original publisher's red cloth binding with gilt stamping to front board & spine. AEG. Pale yellow eps. Bright gilt. Slight lean. Very minor wear. A handsome VG copy. 8 174 2 pp. Advert last 2 pp. 14 illustrations by Leech et al. 8vo. 6-3/4" x 4-3/16" <br/><br/>Cricket was Dickens' 3rd Christmas book debuting 20 December 1845 and quickly requiring 2 additional editions. The story one of allaying a husband's suspicions when he sees his young wife talking with another gentleman; said suspicions laid to rest by the work's supernatural agent the Cricket. While not capturing the public's favor as did his initial foray into Christmas novellas with Christmas Carol "Andrew Sanders has argued that it has key similarities to Shakespearean comedy and should be seen 'both as a significant indication of the tastes of the 1840s and Dickens himself.'" as quoted by Schlicke in the Reader's Companion to Dickens p. 124.
