LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF NICHOLAS NICKLEBY
London: Chapman and Hall 1839. First edition earliest issue in book form bound by the publisher using sheets from the monthly parts with the issue points as called for on pages 123 and 160 also with the first state of the first four plates bearing the publisher’s imprint on bottom. Engraved portrait frontispiece and 39 engraved illustrations by 'Phiz.' 8vo beautifully bound by Wallis in full tan calf the spine with gilt-stippled raised bands between fully gilt decorated compartments featuring panels tooled in gilt at the edges and corners and with gilt floral devices at the center two compartments with contrasting red and green morocco labels lettered and ruled in gilt all edges gilt marbled endleaves. xvi 624 pp. A beautiful copy the binding especially handsome and very skillfully accomplished internally quite fresh and clean and very solid. FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE RARE IN SUCH FINE CONDITION. ONE OF DICKENS’ MOST GROUNDBREAKING NOVELS. NICHOLAS NICKLEBY rode on the coattails of the success of THE PICKWICK PAPERS commissioned by Chapman and Hall in November of 1837 for Å150 per monthly installment which was ten times the amount Dickens had received for THE PICKWICK PAPERS. 1838 was an incredibly prolific year for Dickens; he worked on NICKLEBY concurrently with OLIVER TWIST and BARNABY RUDGE eventually deciding that the latter must be postponed in the interest of producing quality work on the projects already undertaken. In addition to his fiction that year he became the first editor of the periodical BENTLEY’S MISCELLANY in which OLIVER TWIST appeared. The success of NICKLEBY benefited from Dickens’ established popularity: the serial began in April 1838 and sold 48000 copies of the first installment. It ended in October 1839 and the bound edition followed within a few months of its completion.<br> NICHOLAS NICKLEBY represents the beginning of Dickens’ lifelong warfare against the bad old methods of education. He deals with social abuses while still maintaining his characteristic good humor attempting to address painful material while still “making the reader mirthful over every detail that can be turned into merriment.†His style of prose and character development ushered in a new school of intense realism of human portraiture and helped him early on to secure a place as a great figure in the annals of classic literature.

OUR MUTUAL FRIEND
London: Chapman and Hall 1865. 2 volumes. First edition with the three page Postscript by Dickens at the end of Volume II and with the rare slip to the reader in Vol. I. Illustrated with 40 engraved plates by Marcus Stone. 8vo bound in contemporary three-quarter rich purple-brown morocco over purple moire cloth covered boards the boards ruled in gilt at the morocco borders the spines with raised bands separating compartments richly gilt in paneled designs two compartments lettered and ruled in gilt end-papers and page edges handsomely marbled. xi 320; viii 309 pp. A very fine copy and thus rare beautifully preserved the bindings and text-blocks and illustrations all in excellent order and virtually without evidence of use or wear. A beautiful set. FIRST EDITION AND A BEAUTIFUL COPY IN AN EXCELLENT STATE OF PRESERVATION. This was the second to last book that Dickens would write and the last one that he would actually finish. The years shortly before the publication of OUR MUTUAL FRIEND were fraught with domestic sorrow that would lead to his eventual decline. He separated from his wife Catherine in 1858 after his admiration for the young actress Ellen Ternan strained his already deteriorating marriage. He further had to defend himself against scandal and protest his innocence when wagging tongues of gossip linked his name to his sister-in-law Georgina’s who had served as his housekeeper for many years. He threw his restless energy into increased productivity and public readings of his work both of which were physically and emotionally exhausting. He suffered from recurrent illnesses during the creation of OUR MUTUAL FRIEND but nonetheless managed to maintain the level of genius in his prose that had pervaded his previous works. He died unexpectedly only five years later while he was writing THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD.<br> He had with this novel “.for the first time given serious consideraiton to the theme of unrequited love. In earlier books it may have been secret or ill-timed but there was always and equilibrium in which both parties seem to accept that they loved or can be loved; and that when eventually they declare their love it is not rejected.†But “there is torture in love and despair and madness. There is some necessary connection between courtship and death.so tht.it is possible to trace the strange curve of Dickens’ temperment exploring extremity in art if not necessarily life.†Ackroyd 955<br> Like most of Dickens’ work OUR MUTUAL FRIEND was published in monthly serial parts the first in May of 1864 and the last in November of 1865. This two-volume set was released almost immediately after the issue of the final episode. An extremely well-preserved set of the first edition of one of Dickens’ final efforts.

MASTER HUMPHREY'S CLOCK being OLD CURIOSITY SHOP and BARNABY RUDGE
London: Chapman and Hall 1840 1841. 3 volumes. First Edition bound from the original parts and with representative original wrappers and advertisements bound in. With engraved frontispiece of Dickens as a young man 198 drawings by George Cattermole and Hablot Browne as well as a number of plates not called for in the first edition. Royal 8vo in sixes very handsomely bound in three-quarter forest-green crushed morocco over light-green cloth covered boards the spines with raised bands gilt ruled the compartments of the spine with triple gilt ruled panels with central gilt ornamental devices two compartments lettered in gilt top edges gilt others untrimmed marbled end-leaves open ended cloth covered slipcase housing the three volumes. iv 306; vi 306; 426 2 ads pp. A very handsome set the bindings beautifully preserved strong and tight and very usable occasional spotting internally as is often typical of the parts issue generally quite clean and bright. A VERY HANDSOME SET OF MASTER HUMPHREY’S CLOCK which was initiated as an experiment on Dickens’ part. Originally he intended the work to be a miscellany which would contain a continuous narrative linked by reminisces of the narrator Master Humphrey. He outlined his goals in a preliminary letter to Chapman and Hall: “To introduce a little club or knot of characters and to carry their personal histories and proceedings through the work; to introduce fresh characters constantly; to reintroduce Mr. Pickwick and Sam Weller; xxx to write amusing essays on the various foibles of the day as they arise; to take advantage of passing events; and to vary the form of the papers by throwing them into sketches letters from imaginary correspondents and so forth so as to diversify the contents as much as possible.†Dickens would use ideas from the outline of this form in several succeeding books. <br> As the originally-conceived miscellany MASTER HUMPHREY’S CLOCK failed to gain a substantial readership so the project was quickly abandoned the story transformed into a serial and the character of Master Humphrey himself abandoned as a narrator in the midst of THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP. According to Eckel the work was published in four distinct forms over the course of its creation: in 88 weekly parts 30 monthly parts a three-volume edition and in separately bound volumes of the two stories "The Old Curiosity Shop" and "Barnaby Rudge." <br> According to Eckel this work was published in four distinct forms: in 88 weekly parts 30 monthly parts a three-volume edition and in separately bound volumes of the two stories "The Old Curiosity Shop" and "Barnably Rudge." "In the latter form" he states "all the extraneous 'Clock' matter had been expunged but was retained in the other forms of publication." The three volume sets have become scarce indeed and especially so in such a fine state of preservation. Chapman and Hall hardcover
