Charles Dickens Autograph Letter Signed.
London 1860. Autograph letter signed by great Victorian novelist Charles Dickens. One page dated Friday 20th July 1860 on bifolium of Gad's Hill Place stationery and addressed to Sir Alexander Duff Gordon. Boldly signed by Dickens with his usual flourish. The letter reads in full "When you dined at Tavistock House you mentioned a school at Brighton of which you had a high opinion. I am looking about for a school for my two youngest boys and should be much indebted to you if you would tell me what manner of school this is that you commended---as for example for boys of what ages it is designed and what the charges are. Very possibly it may be too young a school for my purpose as I would rather place the boys where they could remain. But I am unwilling to throw a chance away. Do not mind how brief you answer. Yours faithfully Charles Dickens." From the date of the letter the children in question seem most likely to have been Henry Fielding Dickens born 1849 and Edward Bulwer Lytton Dickens born 1852. In near fine condition with mail folds and tipped at head to a backing sheet. The letter measures 4.5 inches by 7 inches. English writer and social critic Charles Dickens created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. unknown

BROWNE Hablot Knight illustrator. A Tale of Two Cities. With Illustrations by H. K. Browne London: Chapman and Hall 1859.<br> <br> First edition mixed issue. Page 134 line 12 showing the misspelling of "affetcionately" and page 238 with triple end quotes but page 213 shows correct pagination and page 166 with "himself" fully printed. List of Plates without the signature "b". Octavo 8 7/16 x 5 5/16 inches; 214 x 135 mm. viii 2 254 pp. Complete with sixteen plates by Browne 'Phiz' including frontispiece and vignette title. Without the publisher's catalog bound at the end but which Smith deems unnecessary.<br> <br> Contemporary half tan calf over marbled boards. Spine stamped in gilt. Spine with red and green morocco spine labels lettered in gilt. All edges marbled. Marbled endpapers. Some minor rubbing and bumping to board edges. Some occasional light toning otherwise text is very clean. Overall a very good copy.<br> <br> A Tale of Two Cities was first serialized in Dickens's periodical All the Year Round from April 30-November 26 1859. Its appearance in monthly parts July-December 1859 and book form mark Dickens's 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 author's final collaboration with Phiz Dickens's most evocative and most sympathetic illustrator.<br> <br> Hatton and Cleaver 33lff.

Sketches by Boz
London: Chapman and Hall 1837. CRUIKSHANK George. . Sketches by Boz. Illustrative of Every-Day Life and Every-Day People. With Forty Illustrations by George Cruikshank. New Edition Complete. London : Chapman and Hall 1837.<br> <br> Full Description:<br> <br> DICKENS Charles. Sketches by Boz. Illustrative of Every-Day Life and Every-Day People. With Forty Illustrations by George Cruikshank. New Edition Complete. London: Chapman and Hall 1839 i.e. November 1837-June 1839.<br> <br> First edition in the original twenty monthly parts as issued. Octavo 9 x 5 5/8 inches; 226 x 141 mm. i-viii 12-526-528. Complete with forty inserted plates including the engraved title-page. This set is remarkably complete when collated against Hatton and Cleaver. With all the text first issue points: with "8" of p. 18 set lower; "0" of p. 50 set higher; p. 83 pagination figures set level and clearly printed; pagination figures on p. 515 printed center; p. 526 with "reeledbefore". Also with every add called for in Hatton & Cleaver including the often lacking Mechi catalogue for Part III. Only four parts with wrappers that have been substituted or supplied. The wrapper substitutions are: XI front and back using X; back of XVI replaced with a blank XVII front in facsimile back blank and front and back of XX using III.<br> <br> Of the forty inserted plates all are the correct state except Plate 11 which is a later state without imprint. Plate 12 "Vauxhall Gardens by Day" is bound in Part X and Plate 19 "Private Theatres" bound in Part VI. Plates 17 23 and 34 supplied from another copy.<br> <br> Original pink printed wrappers with cover design by Cruikshank. The thin pink stock for these wrappers did not wear well and some soiling and spotting is inevitable; as expected the wrappers are a little tired around the edges and the original pink tint has faded. Some occasional foxing and soiling to wrappers. Plates are rather foxed or toned sometimes obscuring the caption and imprint. Spines generally either repaired or renewed. With an ownership signature erased from upper front wrapper of parts XII and XIII. The set still shows very well. Overall very good. Housed in a full cloth clamshell.<br> <br> "The Sketches had initially appeared in magazines and daily journals a few being gathered into book form and published in 1836 with the remainder appearing in 1837 see lot 7 onwards. The copyright was purchased outright by Chapman and Hall and issued in original parts a format which had become popular to coincide with the final part of The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. The standard green wrappers were replaced in this instance with pink ones; this change was not well-received by advertisers resulting in few inset advertisements. Twenty-seven of the etchings had first appeared in the earlier book form enlarged here to match the additional thirteen supplied for the monthly parts ." Sotheby's.<br> <br> "Those to whom the Sketches revealed a new writer saw in them many merits which to us are obscured: they broke entirely new ground were written in a new style and despite their frouzy topics seemed to bring a refreshing breath of reality into the literary atmosphere. Nowadays the best parts of the book seem to be those which are purely descriptive. Remembering how rare a thing is the ability to depict really to depict in words and especially to make interesting a description of the everyday the commonplace we gladly recognize Boz's handwork in the first proofs of Dickens' extraordinary power" Gissing The Immortal Dickens.<br> <br> Hatton and Cleaver pp. 91-128.<br> <br> HBS 69533.<br> <br> $22500.
