Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. First State, First Issue. First State, First Issue. Hardcover. Bound by English binder Francis Bedford (1799 - 1883). Aggressive bookplate of Ralph Louis Clutton (1902 - 1957), English first-class cricketer. John Furber Dexter (1848 - 1927) was an English collector of Charles Dickens's works. Following his death Dexter's collection remained in family hands before being purchased by the British Library in 1969 as the Dexter Collection of Dickensiana. While much of the text attributed to Thackeray, there has long been suggestions/evidence that Dickens was more directly involved. That discussion, in both directions is well parsed elsewhere. Of interest here is the half page notation by noted Dickens collector, JF Dexter, "Mr. George Cruikshank told me on three different occasions that the preface and notes to this volume were written by Charles Dickens. /s/ John F. Dexter. 13th April, 1878". This elegant little volume presents a strong position on the debate.
