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 in Boz's handwork the first proofs of Dickens' extraordinary power" Gissing The Immortal Dickens.<br> <br> Cohn 232.

‎The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit‎

‎London: Chapman and Hall 1844. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo. First edition in book form second issue. Half dark blue morocco blue cloth boards gilt compartments brown calf spine label. Marbled edges and endpapers. xiv 1 14-line errata leaf 624 pp. 38 plates steel engravings by H.K. Browne plus engraved title and frontis bound without the half-title. Vignette on title-page with amount on sign post transposed to read "100£" and seven studs in the trunk. The 100£ reward sign on title is often referred to as a first issue point though Hatton and Cleaver contend that there is no priority and that both plates were used in the monthly parts which preceded this first book edition. According to Smith "An earlier 13-line errata leaf exists with the same data that is found on the 14-line leaf; the setting was changed to 14-lines for a better balance." "A Tribute to Genius Centenary Testimonial 1812-1912" stamp with portrait of Dickens to ffep. Rubbing to extremities. Hinges cracked. Browning to plates as often else quite clean to interior. Spot to plate facing p. 59. Short tear to tail of p. 463. Seems to have all points in "Dickens and Dickensiana" by John Podeschi except for wrappers. The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit originally appeared in twenty numbers bound in nineteen monthly parts January 1843-July 1844 and first appeared in book format in July 1844. It was the last of Dickens's picaresque novels. Dickens thought it to be his best work - which the author himself described as by "a hundred points immeasurably the best of my stories". The theme is "selfishness portrayed in a satirical fashion" through the characters against the backdrop of 19th century America. Dickens's biographer describes Martin Chuzzlewit as marking "a great change in Dickens's conception of moral characteristics. For the first time Dickens begins to explore the contradictions and difficulties of the contemporary human world; these are no longer figures defined by a single characteristic or animated by the willful principle of a 'humour' but ones who are seen to change with the changing world to live and grow" Ackroyd p. 392. Smith I.7. Peter Ackroyd Dickens 1990. Provenance: Bookplates of Joseph Beard of Alderley Thomas H. Means John Ruyle. Thomas H. Means b. 1875 Virginia; d. 1965 Berkeley was an agricultural engineer who worked in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Bureau of Soils and later opened a private consulting firm in San Francisco. John Ruyle was a book collector and printer from Berkeley but I'm not 100% sure it's the same guy because his pencil inscription on the flyleaf doesn't seem like it matches the handwriting of his other inscribed books.but Means dying in Berkeley in '65 around the time Ruyle was writing and collecting there strengthens the connection.

Housed in a custom full morocco clamshell<br> <br> With the note in Dickens' hand tipped in to the front free endpaper reading "Bleak House and The East Wind." "The wind blowing in the east is a constant point of reference for Mr. John Jarndyce one of the novel's central characters and a beacon of social good. He deploys the phrase when his world is threatend by disorder or when he witnesses broader injustices. Easterly winds after all were believed to carry dirt and disease and were considered a real threat in Victorian Britain. Given the novel's preoccupation with physical environments and how these relate to individual and public health this small comments is in fact incredibly charged with meaning." Sotheby's<br> <br> "In Bleak House for the first time society is seen as an absurdity an irrelevance almost a madness. A dark force from which the real people must escape in order to create another society of their own. Dickens had been preparing for this novel all his life and despite the calamities. which had helped to provoke it in the first place . was even happy while he was writing it. It might even be said that Bleak House cured the very malaise which was responsible for its composition" Ackroyd 649-50.<br> <br> Smith Dickens I 10.<br> <br> HBS 69008.<br> <br> $7500.

Notes Hudson: "Rackham is not usually remembered as an illustrator of Dickens but A Christmas Carol was decidedly successful for he contrived to adapt the tradition of 'Phiz' and Cruikshank to his own characteristic style in the pictures of Victorian London and at the same time found scope for his fantasy in the ghost scenes. We also find him here developing his special talent for silhouette rare among illustrators. He was well qualified by sympathy to interpret Dickens in certain of his moods" Latimore and Haskell p. 44; Riall p. 124; Hudson p. 106 William Heinemann unknown‎

The first edition of Oliver Twist in original cloth is a cornerstone in any Dickens collection. Publication of the serial in Bentley's Miscellany began in 1837 and "when Bentley decided to publish Oliver Twist in book form before its completion in his periodical Cruikshank was forced to complete the last few plates in haste. Dickens did not review them until the eve of publication and objected to the "Fireside" plate.and also disliked having "Boz" on the titlepage. He voiced these objections prior to the publication and the plate and the titlepage were. changed between November 9 and 16" Smith 34. Smith I 4. Eckel pp. 59-62. unknown‎
