BROWNE, Hablot Knight; BUSS, R.W.|SEYMOUR, Robert (illustrator). First Edition. London: Chapman and Hall, 1836 [i.e., April 1836-November 1837]. [Full description available upon request] First edition, in the original monthly parts, twenty numbers bound in nineteen parts. Octavo. [i-v]vi[vii]viii-ix[x-xi]xii-xiv[xv-xvi], [1]2-609[610]. Forty-three inserted engraved plates, including frontispiece and vignette title-page, with the original plates by Seymour and Buss. And all parts are dated 1836. Parts are generally very clean and in very good condition. Some occasional toning to plates. Some spines repairs to parts V, VI, VIII, X, XIV, XVI, XVII, XVIII and XIX/XX. Small repairs to edges of front wrapper of parts XII and XIV. Previous owner's signatures to front wrapper of parts III, V, VII, IX, XI, XV and XVI. With additional typed notated sheets by Hatton included with the parts. All notes and parts housed in a quarter green morocco clamshell. All front and back wrappers are first issue, inside and out, except back wrapper of Part 1, Part II, front wrapper of Part V. All seven "Addresses" are present as called for, including the rare Seymour suicide address in Part II. There are two Part X present and included with the additional Part X including the first issue address without the "dash". Text is true first issue in all parts besides parts I, II, VIII, and IX. In part IX, Text with pg 260 and pg 267 points in first issue, but pg 261 text is second issue with X2 not N2. The first issue is extremely rare and H&C claims "This point is an extremely rare one, and has not been previously recorded. Only twice has it come under the writer's notice." Of the forty-three plates most are in first state with the exception of part I, part VI and part IXX/XX. Present part I has included with it an additional set of plates as well. In this final part, the frontispiece and Vignette title are in first state, but the two other plates are second state. With Part VI, it has the the rare first state mispaginated plate number 14, "Mrs. Leo" numbered 169 rather than 154. But with the second state of plate 15, "Seminary" correctly numbered 169. According the Hatton and Cleaver, "These mispaginated plates may be considered the rarest items in the whole realm of Pickwick." Part III contains the extremely rare first paid ad in Pickwick (and possibly first paid ad in a book), the "Toilet" ad, present in the preferred Hatton and Cleaver Variant No. 1. Part IV Has the very rare "Pickwick Advertiser" at front. Part V with Grattans ad similar to H&C but slightly different variant. Matches exactly the Bruton copy variant. Part X with the early rare "Lions of London," a definitive point of priority. And with Part XIII with rare "Pigot" ad slip which Hatton states only three copies known. Full Parts Breakdown: Part 1: Front wrapper is good Back wrapper is the H&C variant 4 (Same as wrapper for part 3) Plates- 1?- Additional plate: First or second state of First Seymour. 2- First state, 2nd Seymour- Extra plate, maybe 2nd state first Seymour 3- 2nd State, 1st Seymour.
