1st Edition. 20 parts in 19. 23cm. Original powder blue illustrated paper wraps. 40 plates by "Phiz" as issued, with twelve plates either lightly foxed, or toned to some degree, usually confined to the exposed margins. All parts strong and tight; soiling to the covers of part I, with some light chipping to the fore-edge of the front wrap and a small corner of loss; small archival repairs to the rear wrap of part II, lower front corner of part IV, and spine of part VI, soiling and repair to part X, small repair to part XII with sections clipped from two of the ad inserts, repair to spine of part XVI, and the spine of the XIX/XX double issue; all other parts clean inside and out, strong, and very good or better. A handsome set of the first appearance of Nicholas Nickleby, housed in a tailor made chemise, and morocco spined solander box. From a bibliographical standpoint the set conforms largely with Hatton & Cleaver; the first issue points are present as called for, the Amesbury Patent Support fold-out is present, all five of the "Hill's Wafers" samples being present in good order, and with the publisher's imprints being where required on the plates. Departures from Hatton & Cleaver's "perfect" collation as follows: in Part I the "Nickleby Advertiser" consists of only 6 pages rather than 12; Part IV the "Poor Man's Pill" ad insert is lacking; from Parts VII & VIII the Tyas "Heads of The People" advertisement slip is also absent; the Charles Tilt advert is absent from Part XI. Given the frenzy of activity and breakneck pace of publication, a little non-conformity is perhaps to be expected. A handsome example of Dickens' third novel to be published in parts containing not only the complete story, but also offering the most complete vision of contemporary London provided by a blizzard of ephemera encompassing everything from cheap tea, gold pocket watches, and tickets overseas, to commentary on current affairs, upcoming publications, and a complete cure for ringworm. Nickleby is the Dickens novel that opens the Victorian Age, with the first two parts appearing in the weeks preceding Queen Victoria's coronation, and the remainder spanning the first year of her reign, with changes and developments necessarily reflected in the progress of the work in parts. Scarce thus. First Edition, First Printing, with first issue points as called for.
