Some light offsetting from plates. Plate facing page 150 with a closed one-inch tear. Overall a very good copy. A Tale of Two Cities was first serialized in DickensÃs periodical All the Year Round from April 30-November 26 1859. Its appearance in monthly parts July-December 1859 and book form mark DickensÃs return to his old publishers Chapman and Hall after a long stay with Bradbury and Evans. The extremely large audience for the novel in All the Year Round however left less than the usual demand for the parts issue and at first for the book both of which are now quite rare. This title also marks the authorÃs final collaboration with Phiz DickensÃs most evocative and most sympathetic illustrator. Hatton and Cleaver 33lff. Smith I 13.

Wanting the first volume. Second printing of the second volume with 'sporting' not split at end of line first American editions of volumes three through five. As with most extant sets assembled by a previous owner with differing pencil ownership signatures in a couple volumes. The first edition i.e. printing of the first volume is quite scarce having been issued in a printing of only 1500 copies. As the following volumes were published serially the first and second volumes were reprinted and one often finds mixed sets. As these volumes were set up and printed as the parts were received from London the text of four parts per volume a very sound case has been made most recently by Richard Loomis in his admirable catalogue of the McGuire collection that "it is.quite certain that four of the five Philadelphia volumes preceded the issuance of" the first British edition in book form.
