(WOOD, HENRY). Snuifje Charles Dickens, aangeboden door eene Amerikaansche Dame. In Brieven van Londen naar Nieuw-York. Uit het Engelsch. Amst., C.F. Stemler, 1843.
First Dutch edition of the reaction by Henry Wood, a Yorkshire journalist, published anonymously, to Charles Dickens's "American Notes", first published in 1842 and which gave raise to a lot of protests. In his 1850-edition Dickens added a new preface in which he assured his American friends that he never intended to offend them and that in fact he rather was prejudiced in favour of America than the other way around. Still, when first published, Dickens's "American Notes" were much criticized in the "North American Review", the "Quaterly Review", the "Edinburgh Review", "Fraser's Magazin", etc. Then Wood published his "Change for the American Notes" as a pendant to Dickens' work, reversing the case and presenting letters critically discussing and describing life in London and England to an American lady-friend, here in its first Dutch edition.
Good copy, with inserted letter by the British Museum Reading Room in answer to enquiries about the book, dated 1971.- (Binding sl. rubbed and darkened; waterstain on top of title and frontispiece).
Sabin 20001; Muller, America, 520; cf. Review in "Quaterly Review", 73, pp. 129-142.

Orig. lithographed boards. With large lithographed view of the House of Invalids at Greenwich on title by Desguerrois after C.C.A. Last, and with steel-engraved frontispiece-view of St. Paul's by Abr. Veelwaard after Regnier. XIV, 430, (2) pp.
