Erstausgabe
DICKENS, Charles. HARD TIMES. New York: T. L. McElrath & Co., 1854. 'First' American edition - one of several issued that year. This edition derives from the typesetting for the periodical publication of Hard Times in the American issue of Household Words, also published by T. L. McElrath. Octavo. [2],108,[2] pp. Text printed in double columns. The final leaf is a blank. Original dun paper wrappers with price (25 cents), title and the name of the Boston agents, Fetridge & Company, printed on the front wrapper, and an advertisement for a face cream - available at Fetridge & Co. - on the back. Although the wrappers are stained and edge-creased, they are surprisingly intact. The stains on the covers have seeped into the bookblock, diminishing as the pages progress toward the center. Sporadic pages have light-colored foxing, which is occasionally heavy. Some leaves have slightly dog-eared corners. One leaf (p. 105-6) has some loss in fore-edge. Very good overall. (See Podeschi A138 - third copy.) Offered with: HARD TIMES, Chapters 1-5, and part of Chapter 6, as issued in the American edition of "HOUSEHOLD WORDS, a journal conducted by Charles Dickens" for May 1854 (New York: McElrath & Barker, Boston: Frederick Parker. Volume 2, Number 1; Whole Number Monthly 13). Dickens' story appears at the beginning of the issue and again at the end, in groups of pages numbered 1-4 and 5-12, with 92 pp. of the regular issue between them. Text is printed in double columns within a double-rule frame on each page. Bound in the original dun paper wrappers, with the title information printed on the front wrap and an advertisement for Hard Times on the back. Wrappers are moderately edgeworn, chipped, and creased, with some soiling and staining. There is a dampstain on the front cover at the fore-edge and intermittently, waxing and waning, throughout the bookblock. Otherwise the text leaves are clean. Good plus. A very scarce format.

Erstausgabe
Both the first and second US editions of Hard Times, the shortest, but also arguably the most political, of Dickens's novels, as well as being the only novel set entirely outside of London. The novel was first published in Britain in Household Words from April to August 1854, and in book form on 7 August 1854. The novel was first published in the US by T. L. McElrath, who paid $1,500 for the advance sheets of the final parts of the UK edition, on 8 August 1854. This copy is in Smith's binding variant B, with the front wrapper also naming the published Dewitt & Davenport. The second US edition was published by Harper & Brothers a single day later, on 9 August 1854. Harper was unwilling to pay for advance sheets, and so used the T. L. McElrath edition to quickly typeset their edition and publish it the following day. The Harper edition was published at half the price, and was designed to outcompete the former edition. Smith notes a contemporary newspaper reporting that this "entirely stopped the sale of McElrath's book, robbed him of the profits of his enterprise, and literally crushed the young rival out of existence" (cited in Smith, p. 328). Smith, American Editions, pp. 323-8. 2 copies, octavo. Original brown wrappers printed in black. Housed together in custom green quarter morocco box. Recent bookplate of collector Peter Russell mounted to inside cover of box. Wrappers a little worn, the first edition with some reinforcement at extremities, contents a little spotted, second edition with some peripheral staining and minor fire damage to bottom fore corner. Good copies.

First edition in book form, handsomely bound by Francis Bedford (1799-1883), who was "considered the leading English bookbinder of his time, surpassed only by the best French binders" (ODNB). Hard Times was the shortest, but also arguably the most political, of Dickens's novels, as well as being the only novel set entirely outside of London. It was originally issued in 20 weekly parts from April to August 1854. Smith, I, 11. Octavo (185 x 120 mm). Finely bound in contemporary tan calf, spine with raised bands, decorated in gilt with red morocco onlays, green morocco title label, covers bordered with triple gilt fillet, board edges and turn-ins gilt, marbled endpapers, edges gilt. Small loss to headcap, spine and extremities rubbed, faint marks to covers, bookplate remnant to rear pastedown, internally clean. A very good copy.

First edition in book form, in the first issue binding with the price in gilt on the spine which was removed in later issues. Hard Times was the shortest, but also arguably the most political, of Dickens's novels, as well as being the only novel set entirely outside of London. The novel was originally issued in 20 weekly parts from April to August 1854. This copy has the later states of pages 122, 231, and 265, with Smith's textual errors corrected; sheets with the varying states were bound at random and the points do not have bearing on priority of issue. Smith I, 11. Octavo. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, spine and covers decoratively blocked in blind. Contemporary bookseller's ticket of Henry Greer, Belfast, to front pastedown. Spine and board edges faded to brown, spine ends gently bumped with a couple of tiny chips, a touch of rubbing to corners, inner hinges superficially split, but firm, edges a little foxed, contents generally clean. A very good copy.
