Contemp. half calf, marbled boards, spines gilt in compartments, maroon morocco labels. Early booklabels of F.J.F., Westbourne, Reading. A v.g. attractive set. Containing approximately 180 contributions by Dickens including: Hard Times, A Child's History of England, A Child's Dream of a Star, The Begging Letter Writer, The Guild of Literature & Art, A Plated Article, Gone Astray, The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices. A complete run in decent condition as originally issued. Household Words was five years in gestation. Once the title was decided, the editorial admonition to 'Keep Household Words Imaginative' was never forgotten. The first number appeared on Saturday 30th March, 1850, and four months later Dickens wrote that 'Household Words goes on thoroughly well. It is expensive, of course, and demands a large circulation; but it is taking a great and steady stand and I have no doubt already yields a good round profit'. The journal was the joint property of Dickens, Bradbury & Evans, W.H. Wills and John Forster. Dickens owned one half, the printers one fourth and Wills and Forster each one eighth. In the first number, Dickens announced his uplifting intentions and broad editorial policy: 'We aspire to live in the Household affections, and to be numbered among the Household thoughts, of our readers. We hope to be the comrade and friend of many thousands of people, of both sexes, and of all ages and conditions, on whose faces we may never look. We seek to bring into innumerable homes, from the stirring world around us, the knowledge of many social wonders, good and evil, that are not calculated to render any of us less ardently persevering in ourselves, less tolerant of one another, less faithful in the progress of mankind, less thankful for the privilege of living in the summer-dawn of time'.

VI & VII) New York: McElbrath and Barker (Vol. VIII) etc. 20 vols. 8vo. Household Words was considerably more popular in England than America and its publishing history in America is "almost absolutely dark, as is the whole subject of periodical printing and 'arrangements' . The 1850's were years of copyright agitation in America, and certainly no legally protective arrangements were possible to the English publishers before the journal was discontinued in 1859. And it is not surprising that the course of Household Words was not so brilliant in American as was that of its successor All the Year Round . It was partially a local work and not quite so interesting to an America as to an English reader; it had changed publishers too often; there was no legitimate arrangement between the English proprietors and the American publishers; it was sold at too high a price; it had been published by inexperienced people and therefore had not received proper publicity and promotion; and its lack of pictorial illustration made it unpopular with the masses" (Buckler, William E., "'Household Words' in America," in Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, vol. 45, pp. 160-66.) Household Words was published every Wednesday from March 1850 to May 1859. Original green blind-stamped pebbled cloth. One volume slightly split, rest very fresh.

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good Indeed. None (illustrator). First edition. The complete first edition run of Charles Dickens' weekly magazine, with every issue from 1850-1859. The complete run of 'Household Words', the English weekly magazine edited by Charles Dickens. Issued every six months, these bi-annual volumes are all first editions. Complete in nineteen volumes, including every issue from 30th March, 1850 to 28th May, 1959. Rebound, with each volume retaining its original title page.Adorned with a motto from Shakespeare"s Henry V "Familiar in their Mouths as Household Words", Charles Dickens"s two-penny weekly magazine of original short fiction and social journalism was launched to widespread publicity on 30 March 1850, featuring no advertisements or illustrations.The publication contained a mix of short fiction and non-fiction, and serialised some popular works, including 'Cranford' and 'North and South' by Elizabeth Gaskell, and 'The Dead Secret' by Wilkie Collins'. The non-fiction has a focus on social matters; while the paper advertised itself as championing the causes of the working classes and the poor, it actually addressed itself primarily to middle class audiences.Of just under four-hundred contributors, around were women - Elizabeth Gaskell, Harriet Martineau, and Eliza Lynn Linton prominent amongst them - but the majority of the articles were written by a small group of male staff writers - W. H. Wills, Henry Morley, Wilkie Collins, and R. H. Horne - or by "regulars" whom Dickens trained to write in a recognisably 'Dickensian' manner, and who complied with their editor"s broadly liberal agenda. Rebound in a uniform full cloth binding, with volume numbers to spines. Externally, exceptionally smart. Internally, firmly bound. Pages lightly age toned due to paper type, with the odd spot or mark throughout. Very Good Indeed. book.

Erstausgabe
First edition, being the full appearance of Dickens's short story, serialized in his journal Household Words in April and May 1855, in the monthly part format. Household Words was issued in three formats: weekly parts without coverings, monthly parts in wrappers, and biannual volumes in cloth. The Thousand and One Humbugs was published in the 21 April, 28 April, and 5 May instalments. The work is a stinging attack on the Palmerston government. It purports to be a newly discovered Arabic manuscript, in the style of the Thousand and One Nights. "The disastrous mismanagement of the Crimean War had given a new edge to his long-standing contempt for Parliament. In this piece his parody of the Arabian Nights tale of 'The Merchant and the Genie' is the vehicle for an effective expression of one of his most fundamental and frequent criticisms of contemporary social conditions, the link between ignorance and crime" (Slater, p. 292). Michael Slater, ed., Dent Uniform Edition of Dickens' Journalism, vol. III, 1998. 2 numbers, octavo. Original blue-green wrappers printed in black. Housed in blue cloth solander box. Recent bookplate of collector Peter Russell mounted to inside cover of box. Very light wear to spines and light soiling to wrappers, occasional spotting to contents. In very good condition.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
3pp., foolscap 8vo. On a bifolium of laid paper. In fair condition, aged and worn. The first poem, 'Balooning [sic]', covers both sides of the first leaf. No evidence has been discovered that this poem was ever published, but it is inspired by the exploits of 'Mr. Green' in a humorous essay titled 'Ballooning', which appeared in Charles Dickens's 'Household Words' on 25 October 1851. The choice of two phrases ('pipes & backy' and 'Mounted Meershaums') is given in the present manuscript, these variants perhaps suggesting that this item is authorial rather than a transcription. The second poem, which covers the recto of the second leaf (the verso being undated), is untitled in the manuscript, but is Harry Sydney's 'It's just as well to take it in a quiet sort of way', which was published in 1865 in London by Henri D'Alcorn [George Henry Stannard Allcorn]. ONE: 'Balooning [sic]'. 2pp. The poem is forty-eight lines long, divided into twelve stanzas, each stanza followed by the refrain 'Fal de ral.' The present poem begins: '1st. Verse | When the London people used to think of going out of Town | They'd take a Stage & that would to the Country take 'em down | But Mister Green has lately proved as clear's the sun at noon | The finest way to take the air is to take an air balloon - | Fal de lal. | 2. | The other day when Mister Green went out just for a fly | He took up two companions for a ride towards the sky | Though Lords & Butler thus ventured up they found the difference soon | For they were all reduced to Carmen when they rode in the Balloon | Fal de ral.' The poem describes their journey, made without 'fears of Highwaymen'. In the ninth stanza the travellers 'take their pipes & backy out', and the word 'backy' is glossed with the variant reading for 'pipes & backy' at the foot of the second page: 'Mounted Meershaums out.' The final stanza reads: '12. | Now we find that different trav'lers will travel diff'rent ways | Some like a railroad, some a stage & some a Horse & Chaise | Some being fond of water think a steam boat (quite) exquisite | But there's nothing like an air balloon to pay a flying visit. | Fal de ral'. TWO: Untitled [Harry Sydney's 'It's just as well to take it in a quiet sort of way']. 1p. Twenty-four lines in eight stanzas. Begins: '1 | We smile at the unnecessary trouble people take | For fortune is not regulated by the fuss we make. | I don't advise indifference, but this I mean to say: | Its just as well to take things in a quiet sort of way.' The poem was hugely popular, being described as 'a certain sort of comic singing which I can't stand' by a character in Fun magazine, 2 September 1865. The American impressario Tony Pastor (1837-1908) published a version of the poem in New York in 1868, without the following stanza of the present manuscript: 'To rise in your opinion most earnestly I hope, | But promise you I'll never mount the trapeze or the rope: | I fancy in the long run that common sense will pay; | And its just as well to take things in a quiet sort of way.'.
