Sewn as issued in orig. pale pink printed wrappers. Overall a very well-preserved set of this seldom scene parts publication. Following the success of the book editions, published in 1836, the First and Second series of Sketches by Boz were re-issued in parts, commencing in November 1837 (coincidentally the same month as the final part of Pickwick appeared), and running through to June 1839. The front wrappers, designed by George Cruikshank, were all dated 1837, while the titlepage and preliminary material were issued in part XX, and bear the date 1839. This copy was bought in the 1930s by the renowned Liverpool collector W.H. Collis, and sold through Bonhams, London, in December 2021. They noted, 'This set was put together by Collis between November 1931 and May 1934, and left tantalisingly close to completion, wanting one plate'. The one missing plate is the second in Part 17, The Steam Excursion Part II. Collated with Hatton & Cleaver, showing this to be an excellent set, with 14 of the 20 parts complete as originally issued. As identified in H&C, this is one of the most difficult of Dickens's titles to obtain in parts ('a nightmare to anyone setting out to achieve the goal of perfection'), and the few sets that do appear are often found to have at least some of their wrappers replaced. This copy is as follows: I. Complete as issued. II. Complete as issued. III. Complete as issued. IV. Complete as issued. V. Complete as issued. With the 'Nickleby Proclamation'. VI. Complete as issued. VII. Complete as issued. VIII. Complete as issued. IX. Complete as issued. X. Complete as issued. Following wrapper very neatly repaired in inner margin. XI. Complete as issued. XII. Complete as issued. XIII. Front wrapper skilfully substituted with that of Part III. XIV. Complete as issued. Tear from lower margin of following wrapper. XV. Complete as issued. XVI. Wrappers skilfully substituted with front wrapper to Part I & following wrapper to part II. XVII. Following wrapper skilfully substituted with that of Part IV. Loose in the wrappers, and lacking the second of the two plates, The Steam Excursion, Part 2. XVIII. Wrappers skilfully substituted with front wrapper to Part VI & following wrapper to part III. XIX. Wrappers skilfully substituted with front wrapper to Part X & following wrapper to part III. XX. Front wrapper skilfully substituted with that of Part I. Text a little spotted, following wrapper sl. torn in margins. Half title not present.

Steel-engraved plates by George Cruikshank. First editions. Three volumes. 8vo. Original green mille-feuille cloth and original pink sand-grain cloth, housed together in a handsome early case. London, John Macrone. A very attractive set: tape stains to the endpapers of both volumes of the first part, with some foxing, particularly to the early leaves, joints slightly weak, a few splash marks to the bindings, upper fore edge corner bumped, but binding unworn and unsophisticated. The second part also has some very small tape stains to the endpapers and the binding has been skilfully recased, with repair the to head and tail and the upper hinge, although there is still a bit of a gap before the pictorial title page. The first part has the bold contemporary ownership inscription of ?F.N. Tyrwhitt-Drake Feb 1836? (the month of publication) on the title pages, with a pencil note below ?lent to Reeves?: the Tyrwhitt Drakes, based in Amersham, were one of the wealthiest families of the 18th and early nineteenth centuries, commissioning the beautiful Shardeloes House from architect Stiff Leadbetter, with decoration by the young Robert Adam. The second part has an inscription (still attractive though someone has attempted to deface the family name) on the front paste-down endpaper ?A trifling memento from Robert Fox to his brother Edward Christmas Day 1836.? The Second Series was rushed out for the Christmas trade, and there is a baffling combination of variants, none of which Smith concludes as ?having a consistent relationship? Given that this copy is unambiguously early (it has a gift inscription dated only eight days after publication), it has no list of illustrations (this indicates an early issue for Eckel), the plates have the erroneous imprint ?Volume III?, and the binding has no black panels on the spine.

CRUIKSHANK, George, [illustrator]. Sketches by "Boz,". Illustrative of Every-Day Life, and Every-Day People. In Two Volumes. Volume I [II]. London: John Macrone, 1836. First edition, first printing (i.e., by Whiting). Two twelvemo volumes ( 7 15/16 x 4 7/8 inches; 201 x 125 mm). viii, 348; [iv], 342 pp. With the date on the preface reading 'February, 1836' and with almost every internal flaw called for by Smith in both volumes except five in volume I (1 is not spaced apart in 100; "o" is not missing in "thought" on 107; "S" not missing on page 143, only some copies; 'r' not missing on pg 258; and plate has imprint on pg 329) and two in volume II 9pg 287 with hyphen; page 305, spacing is okay in some copies only). No half-titles called for. Some internal pages bear no pagination as called for by Smith. Sixteen inserted engraved plates by George Cruikshank, eight in each volume. These two volumes have the frontispieces bound in at their respective chapters (Vol I is bound facing page 47 and Vol II is bound facing page 24). The first printing of the first edition carries the imprint of Whiting, whereas the second and third printings carry those of Hazard and Vizetelly, respectively. Original dark green leaf-patterned cloth. Spines lettered and stamped in gilt. Yellow coated endpapers. Some very minor shelfwear to head and tail of spines. Bindings slightly skewed. Pages lightly toned. A few pages roughly opened, but never affecting text. Housed together in a half green morocco clamshell. A near fine copy of this rare first edition of Dickens' first book. "Those to whom the Sketches revealed a new writer saw in them many merits which to us are obscured: they broke entirely new ground, were written in a new style, and despite their frouzy topics, seemed to bring a refreshing breath of reality into the literary atmosphere. Nowadays, the best parts of the book seem to be those which are purely descriptive. 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).

The first edition of Charles Dickens first book was published in two volumes in February 1836, just a month before the publication of the first number in the parts issue of The Pickwick Papers. The sketches were praised for their "humour, wit, touches of pathos, and the 'startling fidelity' of their descriptions of London life" (ODNB). The 'Second Series' was published ten months later in December 1836. Both were subsequently re-issued in various formats (book form, collected and parts) to satisfy demand.

First US edition of the second series of Sketches by Boz, the exceptional Self-Starling copy. Dickens's Sketches was published in two series, together comprising his first book, republishing short stories which had previously appeared in periodicals with new additions. The Sketches cemented his growing reputation, soon to be catapulted to stardom with the publication of The Pickwick Papers. The first series was published in the UK in 1836, and the second series in 1837. The American publishers Carey, Lea & Blanchard published the first series in 1836 under the title Watkins Tottle, and Other Sketches. Their publication of this second series used the Sketches by Boz title. It was published in March 1837 in an edition of 1,250 copies, following the UK edition of a few months earlier. Kenyon Starling and William Self were two of the great Dickens collectors of the late 20th and early 21st century, the former bequeathing his collection to the latter. The combined collection was sold at Christie's 2008, and was one of the most significant Dickens collections to be sold this century, highly esteemed for the remarkable condition of the books, and the presence of numerous rarities. Gimbel A9; Smith, Dickens First American Editions, pp. 5-6. John C. Eckel, Bibliography of Charles Dickens, 1932. Octavo. Original pink quarter cloth, printed paper label, grey paper-covered sides. Housed in a 20th-century brown quarter morocco slipcase and brown cloth chemise. 20th-century book labels to front pastedown of George Abbot James, Kenyon Starling, and William Self; recent bookplate of Peter Russell to chemise. Spine very lightly sunned with label rubbed, contents a little foxed as always.

Not mentioned in Smith. The first collected edition of Young Ladies, Gentlemen and Couples; issued with a new titlepage dated 1843, and retaining all the original illustrations by Phiz (six in each part). Almost certainly remainder sheets of the original separately published books, which were each issued in printed blue boards. Edward Caswall wrote Sketches of Young Ladies (1838), while Dickens responded with Sketches of Young Gentlemen (1838) and Young Couples (1840). The two Dickens pieces were commissioned by Chapman & Hall who presumably bought the copyright outright. This collected edition is particularly scarce, and seldom seen in commerce.

Couverture rigide. - John Macrone, London 1837, In-8 (12x19,3cm), 307pp. et 302pp., 2 volumes reliés. - Edition illustrée de la première série qui était auparavant parue en 1836. Rare. Très belle impression sur papier velin teinté, d'une grande modernité si on la compare aux impressions françaises de la même époque. Mention en page de titre de troisième édition. Préface à la première et à la seconde édition. 2 frontispices et 7 planches sur velin fort dans chacun des volumes par George Cruikshank. John Ruskin affirma qu'après Rembrandt, personne n'avait gravé de scènes aussi fines. Bien qu'il soit indiqué manuscritement sur la page de garde "Première édition illustrée", il s'agit sans doute d'une erreur puisque la première série en originale et la seconde étaient également illustrés par Cruikshank. Reliures anglaises de la fin du XIXe en plein veau blond signées July File. Dos à nerfs ornés de caissons dorés. Pièces de titre de maroquin rouge, pièces de tomaison de maroquin rouge. Encadrement aux formes complexes sur les plats. Tête dorée. Etui en papier marbré brun avec bordures de maroquin havane. Quelques petits points bruns sur les dos, sinon, exceptionnel exemplaire au papier immaculé, d'une parfaite fraîcheur, ce qui est d'une très grande rareté pour les oeuvres de Dickens, notamment les gravures. Le papier utilisé est différent de ceux habituellement utilisé pour les oeuvres de Dickens et s'apparente à un tirage en grand papier, plus épais.

First edition, the copy of the bibliographer Walter Smith, photographed and described in his bibliography of Dickens, and inscribed on the front free endpaper in pencil "purchased from Harry Levinson Walter E. Smith". The book is "a collection of eleven sketches plus an 'urgent remonstrance' and a conclusion, archly ridiculing contemporary types, in response to the announcement by Queen Victoria of her intention to marry Prince Albert. the sketches were not collected in any edition of Dickens's works during his lifetime" (Schlicke, p. 546). It was the final in a series of sketches - Sketches of Young Ladies was published by Edward Caswell in 1837, which Dickens followed with Sketches of Young Gentlemen in 1838. Eckel, p. 106; Smith, II, 2. Paul Schlicke, ed., The Oxford Companion to Charles Dickens, 2011. Octavo. Original green boards printed in black, plainly rebacked to style. Elaborate black quarter morocco box with floral cloth sides and interior. With 6 steel engravings by Hablot Knight Browne (Phiz). Recent bookplate of collector Peter Russell mounted to inside cover of box. Slight superficial cracking to joints, plates a little foxed. A very good copy.

Erstausgabe
FIRST EDITION. Front. & five plates, 4pp ads. Orig. pale blue-green printed boards; expertly recased retaining most of orig. upettered spine. Smith II, 2; the spine is not plain as in Smith, but is uplettered: 'Sketches of Young Couples'. Early issue without letter 't' in 'present' on the fifth line of p.8. A further collection of humorous sketches for which Dickens received two hundred pounds, and which distracted him from completing Barnaby Rudge. The 'Urgent Remonstrance' followed upon Queen Victoria's announcement: 'It is my intention to ally myself in marriage with Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha'. Dickens points out that as 1840 is a 'Bissextile, Leap Year, in which it is held and considered lawful for any lady to offer and submit proposals of marriage to any gentleman. Her Majesty's said Most Gracious communication, has filled the heads of diverse young ladies in this Realm with certain new ideas destructive to the peace of mankind, that never entered their imagination before'.

Erstausgabe
First complete edition of Dickens's first book, revised by the author following issue in two series over 1836 and 1837, and expanded with a further 13 illustrations by Cruikshank. Sketches by Boz collected together the short fiction of the young Dickens, first printed in various periodicals from 1833 to 1836. The Sketches were originally published by John Macrone in book form in two series: the first in two volumes in 1836, and the second in one volume in 1837. Together, they comprise Dickens's first book. While the part issue of Dickens's second book The Pickwick Papers was still ongoing (and proving a major success), Dickens and Chapman and Hall purchased back the rights to the title from Macrone. Chapman and Hall announced the present edition of Sketches, to be issued initially in parts, in August 1837 in the 17th number of Pickwick. They published the first number in November 1837, the same month that Pickwick concluded its part issue. Chapman and Hall's aim was thus to move their newly enlarged Dickens audience, swelled by the success of Pickwick, from subscribing to the parts of one work straight to another. They stressed that both the price, and the one-volume format on completion, would equal Pickwick. The edition was issued in monthly parts from November 1837 to June 1839, with sheets issued in book form on completion; this is a copy bound from the parts, with stab-holes. The edition is important both for its additional illustrations and for its textual revisions. Cruikshank's original illustrations for Macrone's edition were re-engraved and here supplemented by the artist with a further 13 new illustrations. The text was substantially revised by Dickens for this edition, including most importantly the re-arranging of the Sketches into a four-section division, which was kept through all his further editions and through to modern editions. Though Dickens revised the text again for the 1850 Cheap Edition, the text of this 1839 edition has continued to be used, including in Dennis Walder's frequently-reprinted Penguin edition, first published in 1995. Eckel pp. 13-14; Cohn, Cruikshank, 234; Kremers, pp. 69-74. John Forster, Life of Charles Dickens, 1904. Octavo (211 x 132 mm). Late 19th-century red morocco, spine lettered in gilt, gilt ornaments in compartments, lettered at foot "Cruiskhank 1839" (indicative of the book's interest for the commissioner of the binding), covers panelled in gilt and blind, gilt turn-ins, marbled endpapers, gilt edges. Frontispiece, vignette title page, and 38 other plates, all by Cruikshank. Bookplate of 20th-century collector Vyvyan Edwards, whose collection, chiefly of private press books, was sold at Christie's in 1966. Bound without half-title. Very light rubbing at extremities, frontispiece neatly reinserted at head, some browning to plates, more substantially to frontispiece and vignette title page. A handsome copy.

First complete edition of Dickens's first book, revised by the author following issue in two series over 1836 and 1837, and expanded with a further 13 illustrations by Cruikshank. This copy comes from the library of William Foyle and is in an attractive Samuel Tout binding. Sketches by Boz collected together the short fiction of the young Dickens, first printed in various periodicals from 1833 to 1836. The Sketches were originally published by John Macrone in book form in two series: the first in two volumes in 1836 and the second in one volume in 1837. Together, they comprise Dickens's first book.

Though Dickens revised the text again for the 1850 cheap edition, the text of this 1839 edition has continued to be used, including in Dennis Walder's frequently reprinted Penguin edition, first published in 1995. From 1868 to 1879, Samuel Tout (1841-1902) bound books in Soho, London. He then worked in Whitechapel with William Coward, continuing on his own after 1880. Tout was also an early member of the staff of Karslake's Hampstead Bindery, which opened in Charing Cross in 1898. Provenance: though unmarked as such, this copy comes from the collection of William Foyle (1883-1963), the co-founder of the eponymous chain of booksellers. Foyle's grandson acquired a substantial portion of the original collection at the landmark Foyle Library sale in 2000, including the present copy. Cohn, Cruikshank 234; Eckel, pp. 13-14; Kremers, pp. 69-74. John Forster, Life of Charles Dickens, 1904. Octavo (207 x 130 mm). Late 19th-century half-morocco by Tout, spine with raised bands forming six compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, marbled paper sides and endpapers, all edges gilt, green silk bookmarker. Frontispiece, vignette title page, and 38 other plates, all by Cruikshank. With 19th-century armorial bookplate of Daniel Drew (1850-1914) of Burnley on the front pastedown. Very light rubbing to extremities, faint sunning to spine, minor foxing to endpapers and contents, slight browning to plate margins, short tear to centre of 2M2: a very good copy.
