First Edition. London: Chapman and Hall, 1836. 16mo, 49 pp. Illustrated paper wrappers, in an elaborate custom green morocco box with floral gilt decoration. A near fine copy of this fragile pamphlet with very occasional spotting and a short split in the hinge of the front wrapper. § First edition of a pamphlet written by Dickens under the pseudonym of Timothy Sparks, defending the rights of the working class to a free Sabbath, in opposition to a proposed law which would have banned recreation on Sundays. The pamphlet was never reprinted in Dickens' lifetime. Two facsimile editions appeared in 1884; the first edition is distinguished by the words "Sunday Under Three Heads" beginning page 35, and the spelling "hair" rather than "air" on page 7, line 15. One of Dickens' scarcer minor works and scarcer still in the original wrappers. Eckel p. 102.

FIRST EDITION. 175 x 115 mm. (6 7/8 x 4 1/2"). v, [1], 49 pp. Extremely pleasing red crushed morocco, gilt, by Zaehnsdorf, covers with French fillet border, raised bands, spine in compartments with ornate urn-and-floral-spray centerpiece, gilt titling, turn-ins with gilt floral roll, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed. Original pictorial wrappers bound in. Title page and illustrated wrapper with three small woodcut heads, three plates with guards, all by H. K. Browne. Title page with Charles Dickens' name faintly written in ink beneath "Timothy Sparks" in a 19th century hand. Eckel, pp. 102-03. âFront joint a little worn (though well masked with dye), separation in hinge after front flyleaf, but a solid, lustrous, and very pretty binding; internally fine, with only the most trivial imperfections. This is an attractive copy, complete with original wrappers, of Dickens' little political pamphlet written in opposition to a bill being considered in Parliament that called for stricter Sunday observance. Dickens felt that fresh laws for more rigorous enforcement of restrained behavior were unfair to the poor because their six-day work week left only Sundays for leisure, and he pleaded in the pamphlet for the encouragement of sabbath excursions and harmless amusements. The "three heads" symbolize Sunday "As It Is, As Sabbath Bills Would Make It, [and] As It Might Be Made." Longtime Dickens collaborator H. K. Browne ("Phiz") has provided three scenes imagining the day of rest in each of these situations. The handsome binding is by a 19th century English powerhouse of craftsmen, the Zaehnsdorf bindery founded by Hungarian emigré Joseph Zaehnsdorf (1816-86) in 1842.
