‎Bleak House‎

‎London: Bradbury & Evans 1853. First edition. Near Fine. Complete with all forty plates including the frontispiece title-page and the ten "dark plates." Has all three typographical errors associated with the first edition first issue: P.19 line 6: "elgble"; p. 209 line 23: "chair" instead of "hair"; and p. 275 line 22: "counsinship" instead of "cousinship." In a lovely example of the publisher's full purple morocco deluxe binding. All edges gilt yellow-coated end papers. In Near Fine unrestored condition with just light to moderate foxing throughout but generally an exceptional survivor. <br /> <br /> One of Dickens' finest novels the action in Bleak House revolves around a never-ending set of related Chancery Court cases to resolve the inheritance of a considerable estate. Dickens turns his pen to a biting condemnation of the system and the need for reform which shouldn't surprise the Dickens scholar. A complex novel and filled with subplots it engages and titillates the reader from start to finish. Noted by some for Inspector Bucket's prominent role in investigating a murder which earned it a spot on the Haycraft-Queen cornerstone list of detective fiction the novel is also memorable for its complex representation of femininity: "There's more to Esther than simple good nature. As the book progresses she reveals a dark angry wit. It is a wit that can still strike a chord today" The Guardian. An important social commentary and Dickens at his best. Near Fine.

‎THE CHIMES‎

‎London: Hodder and Stoughton 1913. Fine in very good plus jacket. Thomson-illustrated edition of the Dickens classic - in the scarce original dust jacket - with "the cheeriest design conceivable calculated to fill the spectator with all the jollity and delight of the Christmas spirit only to look at it" Spielman and Jerrold. Dickens's second Christmas novella was first published in 1844 following up on the success of A CHRISTMAS CAROL the previous year: the official start of a series rather than the feverish one-off that Dickens had original expected A CHRISTMAS CAROL to be. The success of THE CHIMES itself ensured the formula of the Christmas novellas ultimately running to five. The highly sought Thomson edition is a favorite among collectors especially so in the original dust jacket not usually seen. 8.25'' x 6''. Original red pictorial cloth stamped in gilt and blind. In original color pictorial dust jacket flaps blank. Grey pictorial endpapers. Illustrated by Thomson with 7 tipped-in color plates on heavy brown paper with printed frames and captions. vi 138 pages. Contemporary bookseller ticket to rear pastedown. Jacket toned with tiny chip and short closed tears at spine head long closed tear to front panel skillfully repaired with archival tape to verso. Book with only trace edgewear and usual offsetting of brown paper illustration leaves. Firm hinges gilt bright. Hodder and Stoughton unknown‎

‎Oliver Twist. By Charles Dickens in 3 vols.‎

‎London: Richard Bentley 1838. First edition. Near Fine. Second issue with the title-page authorship credit to Charles Dickens instead of "Boz" and with the "Church" version of the final plate. First state of volume III with "pilaster" instead of "pier" or "pedestal" on page 164. Almost all the internal flaws according to Smith present. Three octavo volumes 7 15/16 x 4 7/8 inches; 202 x 124 mm. Volumes I and III in twelves volume II in eights. iv 12-331 1 blank 4 advertisements; iv 12-307 1 blank; iv 12-315 1 blank pp. No half-title called for in Volume III. Twenty-four engraved plates by George Cruikshank. Small piece 3/4 x 3/8 inch torn away from upper corner of second plate in volume II repaired tear to top margin of following pages 61/62; E7. Original Smith primary binding; Carter binding variant B reddish brown fine-diaper cloth front and back covers stamped in blind with an arabesque design spines ruled in blind and lettered in gilt original pale yellow coated endpapers.

Spine ends and inner hinges of volume three expertly and almost invisibly repaired spines very slightly faded but gilt still bright. Armorial bookplate of Adrian Hoffman Joline on front paste-downs bookplate for volume two removed. Housed in a quarter brown morocco clamshell case. An excellent and very attractive set Near Fine.<br /> <br /> For this novel Dickens's first in the standard three-volume form Bentley divided the printing task between two firms: Volume I was printed in a twelvemo format by Samuel Bentley; Volume II in octavo format by Whiting; and Volume III preliminaries and signatures A-F and probably G by Whiting with the remaining text by Samuel Bentley again in twelvemo format. The three-decker publication date was 9 November 1839 and within a week at Dickens's insistence the title-pages were changed to include his name and the "Church" version of the final plate was substituted for the "Fireside" version.<br /> <br /> Oliver Twist Dickens' second novel is a dark and biting work but one that is balanced with Oliver's indefatigable innocence and charm. Often cited as the first Victorian novel to feature a child protagonist it was developed as a social commentary and a call for improving the conditions of London's destitute and orphan children. In recent scholarship critics have noted that Dickens also sought to find balance as many of his contemporaries did between Darwin's theories about human nature and those from the Christian tradition; as the characters make their way through a seemingly uncaring world they are ultimately drawn back to reward or retribution based on their individual level of goodness. The story was immensely successful both as a novel filled with memorable characters and also as a work prompting much needed reform. Today it remains high within the pantheon of Victorian literature and is a work that has been successfully adapted to both the stage and screen.<br /> <br /> Smith I 4. Near Fine.

‎[Charles Dickens]‎

‎The Loving Ballad of Lord Bateman‎

‎London: David Bogue 1851 . Cloth. Very Good. 5.5" by 4". George Cruikshank. The third edition of this charming ballad collaboration between Charles Dickens and George Cruikshank complete with the latter's amusing cartoons. The third edition. Illustrated with eleven plates. In other copies one of the plates is bound as the frontispiece however in this copy the plates are bound throughout the text. Collated complete. A charming poem by Charles Dickens the last of his collaborations with George Cruikshank. This poem began life when Cruikshank overheard a cockney version of the traditional ballad outside a public house subsequently repeating it to Dickens who revamped it into this version here. The authorship of this poem has seen a lot of debate with people believing that William Makepeace Thackeray was the author and that Dickens provided the notes and preface however it seems that Cruikshank told people that Dickens wrote the ballad for him.Illustrations by George Cruikshank the well known caricaturist. Bound the publisher's original cloth boards rebacked on full green morocco. Externally very good with rubbing to the joints and extremities. 'Lot 97' label to front board. Ink inscription to front endpaper. Internally firmly bound with bright clean pages. Very Good David Bogue hardcover‎
