Dickens Charles: Beaumont Francis and John Fletcher
THE WORKS OF BEAUMONT AND FLETCHER. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY GEORGE DARLEY
London: Edward Moxon 1840. Two volumes. Polished tan calf spines gilt with gilt labels small repairs t.e.g. by Sotheran. Gift inscription to Emily Vine from her mother dated 1857 on title of each volume; extremities raised bands and edges rubbed; covers a little worn and soiled otherwise a good set. From the collection of William E. Self with his book label in each volume. An excellent association copy with a presentation inscription on the half-title in volume one: "J.A. Overs / From / Charles Dickens paraph / 1st November 1840." John A. Overs 1808-1844 a London cabinet-maker by training educated himself and pursued his interests in writing. Dickens became his most important literary friend providing comments on his stories and poems introducing him to newspaper editors and offering financial assistance when Overs became ill. Overs first wrote to Dickens in January 1839 hoping to have some poetry placed in Bentley's MISCELLANY and Dickens recommended several pieces to his successor as editor. "Perhaps more importantly however Dickens advised Overs on the publication of his EVENINGS OF A WORKING MAN 1844 and wrote the preface to the work. . . . In his preface Dickens is careful to emphasize Overs's autonomy stating that although he had given advice to the author on this collection of short pieces he 'never altered them otherwise than by recommending condensation now and then' and assuring the reader that the volume's sketches represented Overs's 'genuine work as they have been his sober and rational amusement'" - DNB. The two men remained close until Overs's death in 1844: "When poor Overs was dying he suddenly asked for a pen and ink and some paper and made up a little parcel for me which it was his last conscious act to direct. She Amelia Overs told me this and gave it me. I opened it last night. It was a copy of his little book in which he had written my name 'With his devotion.' I thought it simple and affecting of the poor fellow" Dickens to John Forster 17 Dec. 1844 in the LETTERS OF CHARLES DICKENS Pilgrim Edition 4240. Edward Moxon hardcover books

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE WRITINGS OF CHARLES DICKENS WITH MANY CURIOUS AND INTERESTING PARTICULARS RELATING TO HIS WORKS

Dickens Charles: Cornwall Barry pseud of B. W. Proctor
ENGLISH SONGS AND OTHER SMALL POEMS
London: Edward Moxon 1844. 12mo. Contemporary three-quarter morocco and marbled boards. Binding rather rubbed and edgeworn otherwise a good copy with Charles Dickens' lion bookplate and the Gadshill label at the front and with the bookplate of John Gribbel at the back. Old bookseller's description tipped in front. The second edition in which Procter took the opportunity "to strike out about forty of the poems of inferior quality contained in the old volume and to introduce in their stead nearly seventy Poems in rhyme besides a considerable quantity of Dramatic verse" - "Preface to the Present Edition" dated "April 13th 1844." A presentation copy inscribed on the title-page: "Charles Dickens / with the best Regards of / The Author." In THE DICKENS CIRCLE New York 1919 p. 169 J.W.T. Ley states: "We may take it as quite certain that Dickens came to know Procter through Forster. And from the first the novelist and the poet were on the best of terms. It was natural. Procter was a peculiarly lovable man with a peculiar gentleness 'childlike without being childish and an unfailing buoyancy of spirit.' Such a man could not but have a strong attraction for Dickens. From the beginning he loved the company of his friend who in the 'forties was one of the innermost circle with Forster and Maclise and Ainsworth. Procter was one of the little company at the Greenwich dinner in 1842 and until he grew too old he was twenty-five years older than Dickens they had frequent social meetings. For HOUSEHOLD WORDS and ALL THE YEAR ROUND he wrote a great deal and Dickens valued his contributions very highly indeed . . . As Procter grew old Dickens saw less and less of him but the friendship remained as deep as ever and in 1854 it was peculiarly sweetened by the discovery that the 'Miss Mary Berwick' who had contributed verses to HOUSEHOLD WORDS which had won Dickens's unstinted praise was really his old friend's daughter Adelaide whom he had known from her childhood."

Dickens Charles: Wills Henry W. editor
OLD LEAVES: GATHERED FROM HOUSEHOLD WORDS
London: Chapman & Hall 1860. Contemporary three quarter brown morocco and marbled boards a.e.g. Binding worn joints mended some restoration to spine front binder's free endsheet cracking at gutter; just a sound copy. First edition. An uncommon collection containing fifteen of Dickens' articles including some well-known pieces: "A Curious Dance Round a Curious Tree" "A Plated Article" and "Valentine's Day at the Post Office." Dickens revised the texts of these pieces for this book publication and Wills dedicated the volume to Dickens. The editor's copy with his bookplate William Henry Wills on the front paste-down and a statement written out by a later owner in ink on a prelim narrating the provenance of this volume: it stayed with Wills' widow "formerly Miss Janet Chambers" until her death in 1892 when "Mr. Wills' library was inherited by my aunt Lady Priestly and is now in the possession of her son Dr. R. Priestly and to a smaller extent in that of her second son Mr. J.G. Priestly K.G. who presented me with this volume. G.E.S. Chambers. Edinburgh. May 1911." William Henry Wills' lifelong association with Dickens began in the fall of 1845 when Wills became the novelist's personal secretary and general administrative assistant. Wills had contributed to Bentley's MISCELLANY in 1837 had been a member of the literary staff of PUNCH at its founding in 1841 and had served since 1842 as assistant editor of Chambers's JOURNAL in Edinburgh. "On John Forster's suggestion Wills was made assistant editor of 'Household Words' and was given the same position by Dickens when ten years later 'All the Year Round' was incorporated with it. His business capacity was invaluable to Dickens and he was one of the most intimate friends of the novelist in later life. At the end of 1851 Wills accompanied Dickens on his theatrical tour in connection with the Guild of Literature and Art to the temporary success of which his exertions largely contributed. In 1868 while Dickens was in America Wills suffered concussion of the brain from an accident in the hunting field and was disabled from his duties as editor of 'All the Year Round.' He never recovered and retired from active work" - DNB. ECKEL pp.187-8. GIMBEL D35. SUZANNET E50. Chapman & Hall hardcover books

The author/editor of these volumes the eldest son and namesake of the novelist inherited the editorship of ALL THE YEAR ROUND and was later a reader at Macmillan. Charles Mathews 1776-1835 was a popular English actor. Dickens Sr. in his younger days had been a devoted admirer of Mathews and sat in the pit whenever the actor played. In 1832 the future novelist applied to George Bartley the stage manager for Mathews for work in the theatre and an appointment was arranged for an audition. On the day of the appointment however Dickens was laid-up with a terrible cold and was unable to appear. Dickens wrote to say he would have to resume his application "next season" but -- as literary opportunities came his way -- the application was never renewed. Macmillan and Co. hardcover books

Dickens Charles: Rosen Samuel and Carleton Carpenter composer
OLIVER TWIST" A MUSICAL FREELY ADAPTED FROM THE BOOK BY CHARLES DICKENS
Np 1950. 345314513791028 leaves plus numerous unnumbered inserted leaves. Quarto. Original typescript with frequent revisions and alterations throughout in pencil and occasionally in ink with a few inserts in carbon typescript. Punched and enclosed in leatherette binder. Generally very good to fine. An original working typescript for this evidently unproduced musical adaptation with text and lyrics by Rosen to be accompanied by music by Carleton Carpenter. The undertaking was quite ambitious and this draft stems from a point of ongoing substantive revision. Evidently plans proceeded to a further stage as tipped in front is a clipping from an unidentified trade paper indicating that Cyril Ritchard had been signed for the lead and negotiations were ongoing for a Broadway run produced by Kermit Bloomgarden. However IBDB records no such production though Rosen's and Carpenter's other Broadway accomplishments are represented. Rosen is there credited with staging the 1938-9 WPA Production of Shaw's ANDROCLES AND THE LION at the Lafayette Theatre in New York which ran 104 performances and featured an all African American cast. hardcover books
