At various times the Penders lived at Crumpsall House Manchester Minard Castle Argyllshire 18 Arlington Street London and latterly at the Palladian mansion Foots Cray Place Kent where Sir John died. Pender was married twice: firstly in 1840 to Marion Cairns who died giving birth to his son Henry in 1841; in 1851 he married Emma Denison d.1890. In 1866 he was director of a company that laid the transatlantic cable from Valentia Island off the coast of Ireland to Heart's Content Newfoundland and Labrador. This cable was the most successful and commercially viable of all the transatlantic cables and was entirely British financed. He also had interests in railways and was a considerable art collector. John Everett Millais painted a famous portrait of the Pender daughters sitting around a goldfish bowl called "Leisure Hours" 1864 now in the National Portrait Gallery. In 1880 Millais also painted a Portrait of Mrs Kate Perugini i.e. Katey Charles Dickens's daughter. The autograph collection has been added to by later family members descendants of the Penders no doubt inspired by the luminaries Dickens and Browning consequently forming a substantial collection of autograph material letters and clipped signatures. The letters include some from Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge Lord Stanley of Preston Charles Landseer Lyon Playfair William Henry Brookfield and others and clipped signatures from many more politicians and theatrical types prominent among them.

Housed in a custom brown cloth chemise within brown half morocco slipcase spine lettered in gilt.

Light bumping at extremities and splits at foot of joints cloth very faintly stained some browning and offsetting to plates front hinge splitting but firm. A very good copy. First edition in book form in the original cloth. Dickens's first great success is notoriously difficult to secure in the original cloth in desirable condition: "Pickwick ignoring points is rarer 'fine in original cloth' than fine in parts" Sadleir. Since Sadleir's day it has become more obvious that those points frequently cited for Pickwick relate to the individual parts only and are irrelevant for copies in cloth as almost all variants predate the first publication date in book form.

‎WISE Thomas James. DICKENS Charles.‎

‎To Be Read at Dusk.‎

‎London: 1852 i.e. 1891. Estelle Doheny copy Octavo 20 pp 223 x 145 mm. Early 20th-century brown calf by Zaehnsdorf black morocco label triple gilt fillet to covers gilt turn-ins grey endpapers top edge gilt. Housed in a red cloth chemise within red quarter morocco slipcase spine lettered in gilt brown cloth sides. Binding lightly rubbed front joint with minute splits at ends some pages opened ever so slightly roughly. A very good copy. The Estelle Doheny copy of this Thomas James Wise forgery. Wise 1859-1937 the most prominent bibliographer of his day funded his bibliophilia and fuelled his vanity by forging 19th-century literary publications taking a known text and producing non-existent "privately printed" editions in pamphlet form which he sold to wealthy book collectors - in this instance Dickens's To Be Read at Dusk first printed in The Keepsake in 1852 here purportedly issued by Dickens in a pamphlet of ten leaves. Carter and Pollard revealed the forgery as part of their 1934 exposé of Wise An Enquiry Into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets - "the analysis of the paper showed that it composed of esparto and straw: as esparto was not introduced into the manufacture of paper until 1861 nine years after the date on which the pamphlet was supposed to be printed there can be no doubt that it is a forgery" pp. 185-187. The early owners of the volume were unfortunate victims commissioning an attractive Zaehnsdorf binding and slipcase to dress the volume; an old tipped-in catalogue description continues the attribution as the original privately-printed version. It entered the collection of the American popular novelist and playwright George Barr McCutcheon 1866-1928 with his bookplate to front pastedown and sold at his sale American Art Association April 21 1926 lot 126 entering then or soon after into the collection of the American oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny 1856-1935 thence with the rest of Edward's library coming into possession of his second wife Carrie Estelle Betzold Doheny 1875-1958 with her red morocco gilt label to front free endpaper; Estelle bequeathed the collection to St. John's Seminary in Camarillo California which opted to sell the collection to raise revenue in the celebrated Doheny sale where this book was sold Christie's New York 17-18 October 1988 lot 1239. Afterwards in the Lawrence Drizen collection of Charles Dickens his sale Sotheby's 24 September 2019 lot 157. Carter and Pollard pp. 185-187. Ashley Library II p. 40. London: hardcover‎

It was not intended for publication and the original manuscript was left to Georgina Hogarth and then to Sir Henry Fielding Dickens the author's last surviving son. Sir Henry's will allowed publication "if the majority of his family were in favour". It was eventually published in serial form in the Daily Mail newspaper starting in March 1934 before the present book-form edition. With a publisher's advertisement loosely inserted. Smith II 12.

A couple of patches of trivial wear around joint ends light rubbing to spine lettering contents clean with light creasing to a few page extremities. A near-fine bright copy. First edition of Dickens's second travel book based on the travel letters he published in the Daily News 21 January-11 March 1846 describing his journey through France and sojourn in Italy in 1844-45. While preparing the book for the press he hit a snag: "Clarkson Stanfield had agreed to illustrate the text for Dickens but when he read those passages of the narrative in which Dickens satirises the excesses of Catholic devotion he resigned from the project. Stanfield was himself a prominent English Catholic after all as Dickens knew and he could scarcely be connected with a publication which treats his Church's ritual as little more than a parade of mummers. As usual Dickens went at once into action in order to find a substitute; fortunately and curiously he chose a young artist who then had no real reputation Samuel Palmer whose wonderful illustrations are not the least of the merits of Pictures from Italy in its final state" Peter Ackroyd Dickens 1990 pp. 491-92. The "young" Palmer was in fact 41 at the time and had travelled to Italy with his wife in late 1837. Eckel p.126; Smith II 7. London: Bradbury & Evans, hardcover‎

The fifth part of the American edition appeared on 29 December. Part I is particularly scarce in first state being issued in only 1500 copies as the author was entirely unknown and reissued as sales increased of the later parts. The edition was a piracy part of a number of publications by American firms of British authors taking advantage of the lack of international copyright agreements. Henry Charles Carey did offer the author £25 for the parts of Pickwick which they had already printed in June 1837 but Dickens declined on principle instead only requesting a copy of the edition.

‎The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain.‎

‎London: Bradbury & Evans 1848. Octavo. Original red cloth titles and decoration to spine and front cover in gilt elaborate frame stamped in blind to covers later yellow endpapers gilt edges. Frontispiece engraved title page and 15 illustrations in the text. Very light rubbing to binding extremities; some peripheral creasing to contents crease to pp. 5/6 title page loosening a little at foot. A very good bright copy. First edition. The Haunted Man is the fifth and final Christmas book by Dickens. "As soon as he returned from Broadstairs to London he started work on the Christmas Book he had for so long been contemplating a book about lost time. The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain is concerned with the power of memory with family life which is destroyed and replaced only by the wretched anxieties of a distinguished but solitary man. the theme itself revolves around Dickens's belief that memory is a softening and chastening power that the recollections of old sufferings and old wrongs can be used to touch the heart and elicit sympathy with the sufferings of others. It has been said that in this autobiographical fragment Dickens is only suppressing his feelings of hurt and jealous rage but it seems more likely that he was actively involved after Fanny's death in the process of transcending them" Ackroyd p. 553.
