rif. 16755The stamp issued in 1912 by The Charles Dickens Testimonial 17-21 Tavistock Street London WC. The article published by the Strand Magazine London. 1910 or 1911. On 7 January 1911 Beckles Willson Honorary Secretary of the Charles Dickens Testimonial explained the scheme to the readers of the Spectator. Three members of Dickens's family were Willson explained 'drawing a niggardly pension of £25 per annum from the British Government' and that 'no volume recently published of Dickens has returned any copyright fee save those which bear the Dickens copyright stamp'. The stamp was 'on sale for one penny each-in sheets of twelve-at every bookseller's in the land and at all Messrs. W. H. Smith's and Wyman's news-stalls. His Majesty the King her Majesty the Queen her Majesty Queen Alexandra and other members of the Royal Family ever ready to be the exemplars in every good and just cause have led the way by placing the copyright stamps in their volumes of Dickens. Their example has been followed by many of the leading statesmen lawyers authors actors editors and divines of the day. If every owner of Dickens will not shirk his penny a magnificent centenary tribute will be assured. For there are forty-eight million copies of Dickens extant.' The publishers Macmillan Willson continued had agreed 'to insert a Dickens stamp gratis in every volume of every edition of Dickens issued by them during the hundredth year of the novelist. The significance of this must not be overlooked. It means that for the first time in literary history the representatives of a great writer will he in receipt of a copyright fee not conferred by the action of the copyright laws ; small it is true but to which they are entitled as truly as the heirs of any landlord are entitled to receive tribute in the shape of rent.'

The article features a reproduction of the stamp and a list of the scheme's committee headed by the Earl of Rosebery and including Theodore Roosevelt Hilaire Belloc G. K.

For both their sakes he will ‘spare no pains to make it so - but - oh! mon ami! - how about the time. It is not a piece to be written helter-skelter. We must take the shine out of that Duke’s motto - and to do so requires much care and earnest thought’. Vining will require the piece by October of that year sic and he will ‘forward it act by act as rapidly as possible pushing on with so much haste as is consistent with the merits of a piece which I thing sic will prove a great ultimate advantage to you and to me’. He asks to be given time and for Vining to ‘stir me up by letters for as I see your anxiety grow my imagination will quicken’. He continues: ‘Let no time be lost in returning the Plot. I shall set to work at once in fact I am off to day to get some Callot sketches for the dances. / We shall have a Success I feel assured - but - dont hurry me more than is absolutely necessary’. Vining can always let him ‘know the truth’ as their ‘interests in such a matter as this are identical’. He ends by reiterating: ‘Depent upon me - but - as last words - remember “as much time as possible!” / Hurry return of plot ! ! !’ 18 August 1863; 29 Rue de Penthièvre. unknown

1994rif. 7091-10.2922Content appears as neat new unread and unblemished with fine pictorial wraps displaying minimal surface/edge wear as shown. About the book: These three very different novels show the remarkable scope of Dicken's work. Hard Times 1854 exposes the limits of utilitarian philosophy as Louisa Gradgrind grows up trapped by her disciplinarian father's uncompromising views on bringing up children. A Tale of Two Cities 1859 set in London and Paris sees the causes and effects of the French Revolution from the point of view of individuals caught up in events. One of Dicken's most experimental novels it is also a highly charged examination of human suffering and sacrifice. Great Expectations 1860-1 charts the progress of Pip from childhood through a series of painful and comic experiences to adulthood stressing that he must establish his own sense of self and discover his own set of values. Peopled with memorable characters such as Sleary of the circus in Hard Times and Miss Havisham locked in memories of her past in Great Expectations each of these novels explores questions of human fallibility honor and growth. Insurance & handling is included free. Extra Charges/Fees apply on Shipments Outside The U.S. and Expedited Shipments. Oversize and/or heavy books may require additional fees. Will advise.
