 INTRODUCTION 
 
 For many years Mr. Edwin W. Coggeshall has been a buyer 
 of literary rarities and now has a large and valuable collection 
 of books, manuscripts, and autograph letters. Those which 
 are here catalogued embrace only a small part of his collection, 
 and they are to be sold to permit a more convenient arrange- 
 ment of his general library. 
 
 His Dickens Collection, which has long been recognized as one 
 
 5^ of the very best, and in presentation copies as superior to all 
 
 "i others, is the most valuable that has ever been offered for sale 
 
 by auction. The Thackeray collection is not quite so large but 
 
 ^- it contains many rare and desirable items. The miscellaneous 
 
 ,_- books and autographs are interesting and valuable. A few 
 
 words about each of these divisions may aid collectors to grasp 
 
 the importance of this sale. 
 
 ^ THE DICKENS COLLECTION 
 
 The most important single item in Mr. Coggeshall 's Dickens 
 Collection is the Pickwick, and beyond all question this is the 
 finest copy that has ever been offered at public sale. It is, of 
 "* course, in the original green pictorial wrappers, all dated 
 ^ 1836; and it has the four scarce addresses, all the advertise- 
 ^ ments, the set of forty-eight additional plates, with the Sey- 
 ' mour and Phiz duplicates, the unused plate by Buss, and the 
 wrappers of No. 1 of Library of Fiction, containing the very 
 scarce preliminary notice. With this magnificent copy of 
 Dickens 's immortal work, which has the "points" that collec- 
 tors look for, is a page of the Original Manuscript. The 
 importance of this addition, which Mr. Coggeshall made by 
 \ private purchase in England, may be judged from the fact 
 jNthat of the entire manuscript only about thirty pages are 
 < known to be in existence. This page may be the only one that 
 will ever be offered for sale. 
 
 Next in importance to this superlative work must be placed 
 the copies of his books which Dickens inscribed and presented 
 
 .'507358
 
 to friends. Some fortunate collectors have acquired two or 
 three association copies of this kind, but Mr. Coggeshall 
 had no less than twenty, and among them are some of the 
 most famous of Dickens 's works Oliver Twist, Nicholas 
 Nickleby, Barnaby Rudge, Old Curiosity Shop, American 
 Notes (two copies), Cricket on the Hearth, David Copperfield. 
 Little Dorrit, The Chimes (which Dickens presented to his 
 son), Bleak House, and Our Mutual Friend. 
 
 Four copies of the First Edition of Sketches by "Boz" are 
 in this sale one a presentation copy from Dickens, one in 
 the original binding, one in parts with the very rare insertions, 
 the Address to the Public and the "Boz" Proclamation, and 
 the fourth, a rebound copy, with five signed pencil sketches 
 by Cruikshank. 
 
 Three copies of the First Edition of Oliver Twist in the 
 original brown cloth are here, and also the octavo edition in 
 the original wrappers and the first American edition. There 
 are three copies also of the First Edition of Nicholas Nickleby, 
 one in the original parts with an original pencil drawing by 
 "Phiz"; one a presentation copy, and one an extra-illustrated 
 copy which contains an autograph letter from Dickens. One 
 copy of Master Humphrey 's Clock is in the original 88 weekly 
 parts and another is bound with a complete set of the plates 
 and two extra plates. 
 
 The Pic-Nic Papers contains six of the original pencil draw- 
 ings by "Phiz." There are two copies of American Notes, 
 each the first issue and one a presentation copy to Carlyle who 
 wrote his name on the fly-leaf of each volume and inserted his 
 bookplate. Three copies of A Christmas Carol are very inter- 
 esting; one is a very early copy of the first issue and the 
 others are presentation copies from Dickens. 
 
 The Martin Chuzzlewit, Dombey and Son, David Copper- 
 field, Little Dorrit, A Tale of Two Cities, Our Mutual Friend, 
 and the Edwin Drood are all fine copies in the original 
 wrappers. There are two copies of the First Edition of Pic- 
 tures from Italy in the original blue cloth, and one contains 
 a presentation inscription from Dickens to Douglas Jerrold. 
 One of the Christmas Books contains an inscription to Mrs. 
 Maria Winter, who was the Dora of David Copperfield. There 
 are fine copies of the second, third, and fourth issues of The 
 Battle of Life, and two copies of the First Edition of Sunday
 
 Under Three Heads one of the scarcest of the minor books by 
 Dickens and one of these is a presentation copy. 
 
 The Original Manuscript of Used Up, on which Dickens 
 wrote the names of those who appeared in the comedietta with 
 him, and on which, in fifteen places, he has made additions 
 and corrections, is a very interesting item. The Original 
 Manuscript, wholly in Dickens 's hand (14 pages, 8vo), of the 
 Speech at Gore House is very important, for the manuscript 
 contains nearly twice as many words as the printed version. 
 The very fine copy of the First Edition of the Village 
 Coquettes contains the original autograph dedication by 
 Dickens. A very desirable association item is Dickens 's own 
 copy of his Readings, which, being printed specially for him 
 in large type, was used by him in his public appearances. 
 
 Dickens 's ow r n copy of Johnson's Dictionary; the copy of 
 George Eliot's first book in which Dickens wrote his name; 
 the Playbills of Mr. Nightingdale's Diary and The Frozen 
 Deep, in both of which Dickens acted; the Letterbook of All 
 the Year Round with impressions of six long letters by 
 Dickens, a Broadside of the Great International Walking- 
 match, a large number of extremely interesting and important 
 Autograph Letters, beginning in 1834 and running almost to 
 the time of his death in 1870, are among the other many 
 important items in the sale. Attention should be called also 
 to the ten pieces of furniture which Dickens used at Gads 
 Hill, which the admirers of Dickens will find interesting addi- 
 tions to their collections. Mr. Coggeshall has also included in 
 the sale an arm chair which President Lincoln used in the 
 White House. 
 
 THACKERAY COLLECTION 
 
 The First Editions of Thackeray which Mr. Coggeshall col- 
 lected embrace nearly everything he wrote and many of them 
 are in very fine condition. Vanity Fair is in the original 
 parts, and with it are Thackeray's original drawing in colors 
 of Becky Sharp and a fine autograph letter. The Pendennis 
 and the Virginians are also in the original parts. Two copies 
 of the Newcomes are in the sale ; one is in the original yellow 
 wrappers and the other, which has been beautifully bound, 
 contains the presentation inscription "From the Author's
 
 Mother." The First Edition of the English Humourists has 
 a presentation inscription from Thackeray; the Esmond is in 
 the original cloth with the paper labels, and the Barry Lyndon, 
 which many esteem as the author's greatest novel, was Thack- 
 eray's own copy and contains his autograph. The copy of 
 Homes of American Authors is extremely interesting, for it 
 was presented to Thackeray by Mr. George P. Putnam, and 
 it not only contains Mr. Putnam 's inscription but Thackeray 's 
 autograph, his stamp, and seven original pencil sketches by 
 him, so that it is an association book of the highest interest to 
 American collectors. The copies of Yellowplush, Paris Sketch 
 Book, and Second Funeral of Napoleon, and the complete set 
 of the Comic Almanac are in fine condition. Two exceedingly 
 desirable copies of Mrs. Perkins's Ball are in the sale; one 
 of them was owned by Dickens and the other contains an 
 original drawing by Thackeray and his presentation inscrip- 
 tion to Lady Duff Gordon, so that it is perhaps the most 
 valuable item in the Thackeray collection. 
 
 The original sketches and autograph letters by Thackeray 
 are very interesting and important. The demand for the 
 drawings constantly increases and such letters as are here 
 offered rarely come on the market.' The letter which Thack- 
 eray wrote to Mrs. Browning apologizing for declining to 
 print one of her poems is one of the most remarkabl-e letters 
 in the whole field of literature. 
 
 BOOKS AND AUTOGRAPHS 
 
 The Miscellaneous Books in this sale include many First 
 Editions of more than twenty-five distinguished authors, 
 among them Aldrich, Mrs. Browning, Bryant, Carlyle, George 
 Eliot, Emerson, Hawthorne, Holmes, Longfellow, Lowell, 
 Motley, Reade, Stevenson, Tennyson, and Whittier. Many of 
 these books are inscribed presentation copies and others con- 
 tain valuable autograph letters. Among the other rarities in 
 this division are: Cicero's Cato Major as printed by Franklin ; 
 books from Hawthorne's library ; a presentation copy of Table 
 Talk by Leigh Hunt with his inscription ; a complete set of 
 Kate Greenaway's Almanacs; Longfellow's copy of Haw- 
 thorne's Passages from English Note Books; a presentation
 
 copy by Irving of his Sketch Book; a complete set of Punch 
 from 1841 to 1915 nearly 2,000 numbers; First Editions of 
 Tennyson with autographic additions and of Whittier with in- 
 scriptions; the first issue of the Edinburgh edition of Burns 's 
 Poems with an Autograph Letter Signed by the poet; Words- 
 worth's copy of Robert Greene's Poems; a presentation copy 
 of one of Walpole 's ibooks ; The Graver and the Pen by Steven- 
 son the only genuine issue offered in several years ; the First 
 Edition of Poe's Raven and a copy of his Tales with an ex- 
 tremely interesting autograph letter; a presentation copy of 
 Outre-Mer from Longfellow to Lowell; the large-paper copy 
 of the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table which Holmes inscribed 
 and presented to Dickens, and a copy of the Principal Speeches 
 by the Prince Consort with a very touching presentation in- 
 scription by Queen Victoria. 
 
 Extra-illustrated Books form an important part of the col- 
 lection. Mrs. Gaskell's Cranford, Mrs. Jackson's Ramona, and 
 Irving 's Knickerbocker have been beautifully illustrated with 
 hundreds of original water-color sketches by W. H. Drake. The 
 Life of Irving, in three volumes, has been extended to seven 
 by the insertion of about 400 portraits, views, and autograph 
 letters. Irving 's Life of Washington, originally in five volumes, 
 has been extended to thirteen by the addition of hundreds of 
 rare portraits, views, and maps, so that it is not only a Life of 
 Washington but a magnificent pictorial history of the struggle 
 in which he was the leader. The volumes are bound in mag- 
 nificent style. Most important of all, however, is Mr. Cogge- 
 shall's copy of Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, which 
 has been extended from four volumes to twenty-five. More 
 than 1,700 engraved portraits, views, and maps and more than 
 900 autograph letters and documents have been added. This 
 copy was extra-illustrated originally by Augustin Daly, but 
 when Mr. Coggeshall acquired it he revised it thoroughly, re- 
 moving many illustrations and letters which had little relation 
 to the text and adding more than 500 choice selections of his 
 own. It is by far the most beautifully embellished copy of 
 this work that has ever been offered. 
 
 The Autograph material in Mr. Coggeshall's consignment, 
 in addition to that already referred to, is interesting and 
 important. A Book of Hours of the Fifteenth Century is 
 rendered doubly valuable by the beautiful binding by Clovis 
 Eve. Sixteen Autograph Letters Signed by Lincoln, Grant, 
 
 7
 
 Farragut, Stanton, and others are in a handsome binding and 
 would adorn the finest collection of Civil War material ; eight 
 of the letters are by Lincoln and Grant. A series of eight 
 personal letters by George Eliot written in 1878 and a volume 
 containing the autograph letters of nearly fifty distinguished 
 English authoresses are very interesting. The collection con- 
 tains hundreds of letters by soldiers, statesmen, and literary 
 celebrities, and many of these letters are very important. The 
 full Autograph Letter Signed by William Penn, the founder 
 of Pennsylvania, will appeal to collectors of Americana.

 March 29, 1863. To Maj.-Gen. Banks. "Hon. Daniel Ullmann, with a 
 commission of Brigadier-General, and two or three hundred other gentle- 
 men as officers, goes to your department and reports to you, for the pur- 
 pose of raising a colored brigade. . . . The necessity of this is palpable. 
 ... 7 shall be very glad if you will take hold of the matter in earnest,' 7 
 etc. (Somewhat stained.) 
 
 LINCOLN (ABRAHAM). A. L. S., 1 p. 4to. Executive Mansion, 
 Sept. 19, 1863. To Maj.-Gen. Banks. "In strong hopes that you have 
 the old flag flying in Texas by this time, we are about sending you Gen. 
 Hamilton to act as Military Governor there. I believe you know him; 
 but it can do no harm for me to say I really believe him to be a man of 
 worth and ability; and one who, by his acquaintance there, can scarcely 
 fail to be efficient in re-inaugurating the National authority," etc. 
 
 LINCOLN (ABRAHAM). A. L. S., 3 pp. 4to. Executive Mansion, 
 Nov. 5, 1863. To Maj.-Gen. Banks. "Three months ago I tcrote you 
 about Louisiana affairs, stating on the word of Gov. Shepley, as I under- 
 stood him, that Mr. Durant was taking a registry of citizens, preparatory 
 to the election of a constitutional convention for that State. I now have 
 his letter . . . saying that he is not taking such registry. . . . Thit dis- 
 appoints me bitterly; yet I do not throw blame on you or them. I do 
 
 12
 
 however urge both you and them, to lose no more time. There is danger, 
 even now that the adverse element seeks insiduously to preoccupy the 
 ground. If a few professedly loyal men shall draw the disloyal about 
 them, and colorably set up a State government, repudiating the emancipa- 
 tion proclamation, and re-establishing slavery, I cannot recognise or sus- 
 tain their work," etc. 
 
 LINCOLN (ABBAHAM). A. L. S., 1 p. 8vo. Executive Mansion, 
 Dec. 2, 1864. To Maj.-Gen. Banks. "1 know you are dissatisfied, which 
 pains me very much, but I wish not to be argued with further. I entertain 
 no abatement of confidence, or friendship for you. I have told you why 
 I can not order Gen. Canby from the Department of the Gulf. . . . Yet 
 I do believe that you, of all men, can best perform the part of advanc- 
 ing the new State government of Louisiana, and therefore I liave wished 
 you to go and try," etc. 
 
 GEANT (ULYSSES S.). A. L. S., 3 pp. 8vo, March 23, 1863. To 
 Admiral Farragut. "In the various notes I have written including the 
 dispatch for Gen. Banks, I have not mentioned that soon after taking 
 command here in person, I collected my surplus troops at Lake Provi- 
 dence and directed the commanding officers to effect a passage through 
 from the Miss. Eiver to Bayou Macon. . . . This is now reported prac- 
 ticable for ordinary Ohio river steamers. 
 
 "I sent several weeks ago for this class of steamers and expected 
 them before this. Should they arrive and Admiral Porter gets his boats 
 out of the Yasoo so as to accompany the expedition I can send a force 
 of say 20,000 effective men to co-operate with Gen. Banks at Port Hudson. 
 
 ' ' This force will easily reduce Port Hudson, ' ' etc. 
 
 GEANT (ULYSSES S.). A. L. S., 4 pp. 4to. Before Vicksburg, 
 March 23d, 1863. To Maj.-Gen. Banks. A fine long letter, giving an 
 account of his plans, progress of the canal, and stating that he could 
 send 20,000 men to co-operate in the reduction of Port Hudson. "This 
 experiment failing there is nothing left for me but to collect all my 
 strength and attack Hains Bluff. This will necessarily be attended with 
 much loss but I think it can be done, ' f etc. 
 
 GEANT (ULYSSES S.). Near Vicksburg, June 30, 1863. To Maj. 
 Gen. Banks. 
 
 "I confidently expected that Vicksburg would have been in our pos- 
 session before this, leaving me able to send you any force that might be 
 required against Port Hudson. ... 7 have sent into Louisiana to learn 
 the movements of Kirby Smith, but as yet hear nothing definite," etc. 
 
 GEANT (ULYSSES S.). A. L. S., 4 pp. 4to. Vicksburg, July 21, 
 1863. To Brig.-Gen. J. P. Stern, Port Hudson. Eegarding the estab- 
 lishing of mail facilities. "Sherman has forced Johnston to retreat 
 from Jackson Eastward. He will lose half his army. . . . Sherman tele- 
 graphs me the people are completely subdued. They acknowledge the 
 loss of the Southern cause, ' ' etc. 
 
 FAEEAGUT (D. G.). A. L. S., 2 pp. 8vo. Steamer Sachem, on the 
 Atchafalaya Eiver, May 8, 1863. To Maj.-Gen. Banks. "It has turned 
 out as I expected. Porter took Alexandria before your troops got there. 
 . . . but thank God it is taken and now is the time to keep the stampede 
 on them. The sooner we get Port Hudson, the better," etc. 
 
 FAEEAGUT (D. G.). A. L. S., 1 p. 4to. F. S. Monongahela, May 25, 
 1863. To Maj.-Gen. Banks. "I heard such a firing back of Port Hudson 
 yesterday that I thought you were making your attack and so moved up 
 with the ships and opened on the Forts. . . . hearing nothing more of 
 your firing, we ceased firing after bombarding them 2 hours. . . . We will 
 be ready whenever you say you are ready, or ive hear the great fire of 
 the Artillery," etc. 
 
 The remainder of the letters are all on War matters. Ac- 
 companying the original Letters, is a volume containing type- 
 written copies of the collection, bound in half blue levant 
 morocco.

 * EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH 1722 ENGRAVED PORTRAITS, VIEWS, 
 MAPS, ETC., WITH 921 AUTOGRAPH LETTERS, SIGNATURES, DOCUMENTS, 
 ETC., ALL OF WHICH ARE OF THE UTMOST INTEREST AND HISTORICAL 
 IMPORTANCE. The work was originally extra-illustrated for Augustin 
 Daly, and the present owner carefully revised it, eliminating many 
 illustrations and autograph letters which bore no relation to the text 
 and adding about 500 illustrations and autographs, and an Index of 
 the extra-illustrations. 
 
 It is almost impossible to present an adequate idea of the value 
 of this monumental work. It contains some of the most intimate 
 and private correspondence of those actively engaged in the Civil 
 War, including letters exhibiting the condition of affairs prior to 
 the actual opening of hostilities ; preparations for the probable seces- 
 sion of the States; arrangements for border protection, defences, 
 ammunition, and stores, with correspondence of Southern representa- 
 tives in Washington who were working to prepare for war while 
 still holding their seats in the Senate and the House. 
 
 The portraits are those of nearly every man of prominence during 
 this critical period of American history. There are various impres- 
 sions, many of which are proofs, Japan paper copies, and wash 
 drawings, including a particularly fine one of Lincoln. 
 
 The autographic portion of this most comprehensive work includes 
 5 specimens by ABRAHAM LINCOLN, 12 by ROBERT E. LEE, 6 by 
 JEFFERSON DAVIS, 8 by GENERAL GRANT, 8 by GENERAL SHERMAN, 
 7 by GEN. BEAUREGARD, 4 by GEN. JOHNSTON, 5 by "STONEWALL" 
 JACKSON, etc., etc., besides autograph letters from practically every 
 officer of importance, in both the Union and Confederate Armies. 
 
 Some of the more important contents are: Original Resolutions 
 regarding the attitude of North Carolina towards Secession ; A. L. S. 
 of Edmund Ruffin, who is said to have fired the first shot at Fort 
 Sumter ; Gov. Pickens to Gen. Ripley, regarding a submarine ; VERY

 Life, and .Every-Day People. First Series, 2 vols.; Second 
 series, 1 vol. 26 etchings by George Cruikshank. 3 vols. post 
 8vo, original dark green and pink cloth, edges uncut (hinges 
 of first series with small repairs, corners rubbed). 
 
 Lond. : John Macrone, 1836-7 
 
 * FIRST EDITIONS, in original bindings, both good copies in- 
 teriorly. A set of this first printed book of Charles Dickens 
 is now very hard to find in original uncut condition in the pub- 
 lisher's binding. The second series has "Vauxhall Gardens" 
 as frontispiece and contains list of illustrations. VERY SCARCE 
 
 SET. 
 
 70. SKETCHES BY "BOZ." Second Series. Post 8vo, 
 original pink cloth, uncut (hinges somewhat worn, slightly 
 shaken, some plates a little spotted, "Mr. Minns" plate and 
 opposite leaf fastened at inner margin). 
 
 Lond. : John Macrone, 1837 
 
 * This copy shows interesting variations from that in the 
 previous lot, by having the "Seven Dials" plate as frontis- 
 piece; only 13 lines under "Contents" on page [VII] instead 
 of 17 lines; and being without list of illustrations on page 
 VIII. This contains more errors and shows less evidence of 
 proof-reading than any other of Dickens 's works.

 Life, and Every-Day People. First series, 2 vols.; Second 
 series, 1 vol. 26 illustrations ly George Cruikshank. FIRST

 man, and Hall. All the plates from "Greenwich Fair" to the 
 end have publisher's name in this first issue: in later issues 
 the name was erased. This copy contains both of the very 
 rare insertions, which are considered the finest ' ' point ' ' of the 
 issue: the "Address" to the public, in part 2; and the "Boz"

 THE ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPH DEDICATION TO 
 "THE VILLAGE COQUETTES." 
 
 79. ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT of the 
 Dedication of ' ' The Village Coquettes ' ' to John Pritt Harley, 
 Manager of the St. James Theatre. Entirely in Dickens 's 
 writing. 1 p. 4to, dated, "December 1836," and signed 
 "Boz." 
 
 * AN IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING DICKENS MS. When 
 printed, the full signature "Charles Dickens" appeared at the 
 foot, instead of "Boz" as in the MS.; also the day of the 
 month was supplied. 
 
 Harley not only produced the play, but acted in it, in the 
 character of Martin Stokes, and in dedicating the book to him 
 Dickens says: "My dramatic bantlings are no sooner born than 
 you father them. You have made my strange gentleman ex- 
 clusively your own; you have adopted Martin Stokes with equal 
 readiness; and you still profess your willingness to do the same 
 kind office for all future scions of the same stock, no matter 
 how numerous they may be; or how quickly they may be fol- 
 lowed in succession. 
 
 "I dedicate to you the first play I ever published and you 
 made for the first play I ever wrote. The balance is in your 
 favor, and I am afraid it will remain so." 
 
 It appears that in reading the proof, Dickens caused to be 
 omitted the sentence: "A r o matter how numerous they may be 
 or how quickly they may be followed in succession." 
 
 80. THE VILLAGE COQUETTES: A Comic Opera. In 
 Two Acts. The Music by John Hullah. 8vo, full wine color

 * FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, published without plates, and be- 
 lieved by many bibliographers to have been issued before the

 FINEST COPY OF "PICKWICK" EVER OFFERED.

 82. THE POSTHUMOUS PAPERS of the Pickwick Club,

 gilt-tooled back and panels, with catch-lock. 
 
 Lond.: Chapman and Hall, 1836-37 
 
 * The accompanying page of original manuscript contains a 
 portion of the humorous Christmas Chapter (Ch. 28), describ- 
 ing the wedding breakfast and how Mr. Pickwick listens to 
 the reminiscences of old Mrs. Wardle. It is interesting to note 
 that the paragraph, "Then the cake was cut, and passed 
 through the ring; the young ladies saved pieces to put under 
 their pillows," etc., is written on the back of the manuscript 
 as an insert, thus indicating that the famous passage was an 
 afterthought. Of the entire manuscript of ' ' Pickwick, ' ' only 
 some thirty pages are in existence, and after the lapse of 
 eighty years, it is extremely unlikely that other portions can 
 be found, as manuscripts of Dickens, who was then quite un- 
 known, naturally went with the publisher's waste paper. The 
 page of ' ' Pickwick ' ' manuscript, with its very few corrections, 
 shows the remarkable facility with which Dickens wrote at 
 this period, contrasted with the labored efforts evident in later 
 manuscripts. 
 
 This copy of "Pickwick" is unquestionably the most inter- 
 esting and the most nearly perfect ever offered at public sale. 
 With the exceptions mentioned, it is crisp and fresh through- 
 out, with the plates as entirely free from foxing as when 
 "pulled" from the copper. All the wrappers are of the 
 original FIRST ISSUE, and all are dated 1836. It contains also 
 . the four scarce ADDRESSES and all the advertisements as de- 
 tailed in collation given below; the set of 48 additional plates, 
 comprising the Seymour and "Phiz" duplicates and the un-

 ment. ' ' Plates : This and all the following numbers have the plates 
 in first and second states, which, from now on, were published simul- 
 taneously, neither having imprints. As the demand for ' ' Pickwick ' '

 * Dickens wrote the preface and the ' ' Lamplighter 's Story, ' '

 inserted six OF THE ORIGINAL PENCIL DRAWINGS BY "PHIZ," 
 all of which differ from the finished plates, some materially so. 
 They are inserted as follows: Vol I., p. 101, The Convict; p. 
 188, Major Ap Owen; Vol. II., frontispiece, Best Natured Man; 
 p. 145, The Fleshy One; p. 169, Garden Theatricals; p. 237,

 PRESENTATION COPY FROM CHARLES DICKENS TO THOMAS 
 CARLYLE, WITH INSCRIPTION IN DICKENS' AUTOGRAPH on first 
 half title: "Thomas Carlyle \ from \ Charles Dickens 
 \ Nineteenth October 1842." This date is of the day follow- 
 ing the publication of the book. 
 
 Thomas Carlyle has written his name on fly-leaf of each 
 volume and each contains also his very desirable book-plate. 
 
 Few more interesting associations of literary names can 
 be imagined than of these two most diverse of modern authors. 
 Dickens frequently expressed his profound admiration of Car- 
 lyle, saying at one time, "I would go at all times farther to 
 see Carlyle than any man alive." This copy is in beautiful 
 uncut condition, with the original brown cloth covers, and is 
 enclosed in green levant morocco case, with gilt lettered back.

 Dickens, Seventeenth December 1843." Interesting association

 Lond.: Chapman and Hall, 1844 
 
 * One of the rarest issues of the FIRST EDITION, known as 
 the "Experimental Issue," with the title printed in red and 
 green, and with the yellow end papers. After a very few 
 specimens had been produced, this color combination was re- 
 jected by Dickens in favor of the red and blue title and the 
 green end papers. Although dated 1844, these experimental 
 copies were printed in November and December, 1843. This 
 copy verifies that fact as it was presented by Dickens as a 
 Christmas gift, to his intimate friend Archibald Williajn 
 Irvine, whose name and date ' ' Dec. 25, '43 ' ' are written on 
 the title page. This issue also bears the well-known point 
 ' ' Stave I " on page 1, which was later changed to ' ' Stave 
 One. ' '

 * This Comedietta was adapted by Charles Mathews, from 
 the French "L'Homme Blaise. " It was acted at Roekingham 
 Castle in 1851, with CHARLES DICKENS IN THE TITLE ROLE as 
 Sir Charles Coldstream. Associated with him were Mark 
 Lemon, Lewes, Topham, George Cruikshank, Egg, F. Dickens, 
 Miss A. Romer, and Mrs. C. Clarke. Kitton, in speaking of the 
 performance, says : ' ' The ennui of Sir Charles, his mental 
 inanity, the voraciousness of his appetite when he assumed the 
 functions of a ploughboy, were so admirably rendered that a 
 friend who witnessed the performance believed it impossible for 
 even Mathews himself to have surpassed it. ' ' 
 
 Miss Mary Boyle, who had at times participated with Dick- 
 ens in his private theatricals, says in her recollections : ' ' The 
 novelist sometimes playfully addressed her in letters as 'My 
 dear Merry' and generally signed himself 'Jo' or 'Joe,' char- 
 acters in the Comedy ' Used Up. ' ' ' 
 
 On the second leaf, containing the Dramatic Personse, DICK- 
 ENS HAS WRITTEN THE NAMES OP THE PERSONS APPEARING IN 
 
 THE COMEDIETTA WITH HIM, AND THROUGH THE VOLUME, HE 
 HAS MADE AUTOGRAPHIC CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS IN 15 
 
 PLACES. 
 
 PRESENTATION COPY FROM CHARLES DICKENS TO 
 
 MARIA (BEADNELL) WINTER, THE "DORA" 
 
 OF "DAVID COPPERFIELD." 
 
 146. CHRISTMAS BOOKS. Frontispiece by John Leech. 
 
 12mo, half red morocco, gilt edges, in a crimson crushed 
 
 levant morocco slip case. Lond. 1852 
 
 * The First Popular Edition. With autograph inscription 
 
 on fly-leaf: 
 
 ' ' Charles Dickens, to Maria Winter, In remembrance of old 
 times. ' ' 
 
 The story that Maria Beadnell (Mrs. Winter) was the origi- 
 nal Dora of "David Copperfield" was told for the first time 
 in the privately printed volume ' ' The Private Correspondence 
 of Charles Dickens and Maria Beadnell ' ' issued by the Biblio- 
 phile Society by permission of Mr. W. K. Bixby of St. Louis, 
 who owns the original letters. 
 
 There are few stranger stories in the records of book-collect-, 
 ing than the history of this little book. Originally one of a 
 set of 12 volumes with presentation inscriptions to Mrs. Winter 
 in each, the fly-leaf bearing the inscription for this volume was 
 removed. Later, however, Mr. Stonehouse, who was familiar 
 with the set when intact, discovered the removed leaf and re- 
 stored it to this volume. By the courtesy of Mr. Bixby it was 
 ascertained that both the special morocco binding of the book 
 and the inscription are absolutely identical with the 11 volumes 
 in his library. Laid in are two letters verifying these facts.

 is dated and signed in ink by "Cuthbert Bede." In it he 
 says: "On the present occasion Dickens far surpassed the ex- 
 pectations even of his most sanguine admirers, he read his 
 'Christmas Carol' with a dramatic power that was truly aston- 
 ishing, alternating not only the tones of his voice, but even his 
 facial appearance so as most faithfully to represent the varied 
 characters of his well-known story. ' '

 " C. D., Tavistock House, London, W. C. Christmas Day 1854,"

 very careful reading. On more than twenty pages he had

 lery of Illustration, Regent Street. July 11, 1857. Folio, 
 inlaid and mounted. 
 
 *The play "Frozen Deep" by Wilkie Collins was altered, 
 improved and added to by Dickens, so much so that the drama 
 might almost be attributed to him. The performance was 
 given under the management of Dickens as a benefit in " Re- 
 membrance of the late Mr. Douglas Jerrold." " The Amateur 
 Company of Ladies and Gentlemen " was composed principally 
 of the Dickens family and their most intimate friends, includ- 
 Mark Lemon, Alfred Dickens, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, 
 Edward Pigott, Augustus Egg, Shirley Brooks, Miss Hogarth, 
 Miss Kate, Miss Mary, etc. The two characters in the farce 
 " Two O'Clock in the Morning" were played by Dickens as Mr. 
 Snobbington and Mark Lemon as The Stranger.

 Narrative" of the match written by Charles Dickens, alias 
 "The Gad's Hill Gasper." Signed by the contestants, George 
 Dolby and James R. Osgood, and the umpires and starters,

 Anthony as witness. Printed broadside with gilt border. Size

 * An extremely rare and interesting item, a relic of Dickens 'a 
 last visit to America. George Dolby and James R. Osgood, 
 members of Dickens 's party, were constantly devising some 
 means for reviving his flagging spirits. They hit upon this 
 scheme of a walking match, to be held in Boston, on February 
 29, to celebrate the day, as Dickens puts it "when I can say 
 'next month' for home." The match ended in the English - 
 
 <. . man's defeat; which Dickens doubly commemorated by the 
 above narrative of the American victory, in sporting newspaper 
 style, and by a dinner in Boston to the party, whose names are 
 designated in Article 6 of the document.

 afternoon [Feb. 6, 1837] . To J. P. Harley, St. James Theatre, 
 London. 
 
 * A very fine and interesting Dickens letter, undoubtedly re- 
 ferring to the preparation and production of the famous farce 
 "Is She His Wife?" Although no copy of the original edition 
 of this play is extant, it is known, from playbills of the first 
 performance, that James P. Harley of the St. James's Theatre 
 both produced and acted in this farce on March 6, 1837, just 
 one month after the date of this letter. All evidence available 
 tends to prove that the MS. spoken of in the letter is that of 
 the play in question, and further no other work of this char- 
 acter is known to have been produced by Dickens at this 
 period. 
 
 He writes in part: "Not having had time to finish altering 
 the farce before I left town, I brought it down here with me 
 on Saturday; altered it on Saturday night; and (by previous 
 arrangement) forwarded it pr mail directed to Mr. Hogarth 
 Junr. to be left at the office in the city till called for. He was

 "I had Molloy with me this morning who has been . . . and 
 expressing his hope that after the actual tone of the Age and 
 their present readiness to drop any system of annoyance against 
 you, you will not aid and abet Macready in the proceeding. I 
 should say that he adds it is a mere conspirancy with Polhill 
 against Dunn, to suit a purpose of his (Polhill 's) own, which 
 he declares White and Whitmore have unconsciously disclosed 
 to him, and of which it is his intention, if the action be pressed 
 to take every advantage. . . . You may see something in Mol- 
 loy 's stirring in the affair which I do not," etc.

 CHURCH. Dickens was at Bonchurch engaged in writing David 
 Copperfield, where he, Leech and others ..." had great games 
 at rounders every afternoon, with all Bonchurch looking on." 
 "My Dear Evans 
 
 This letter is really addressed both to you and Lemon [editor 
 of Punch in later years], to wJwm Leech is anxious I should 
 write. As I promised yesterday, to repeat my report to you, I 
 write to-day, and ivill write to Lemon (at White friars), to- 
 morrow. 
 
 Leech continued pretty much the same until early yesterday 
 evening, when he became worse, and complaining afresh of the 
 pain in his head, had leeches on again, mustard poultices to the 
 back of his neck, a mustard bath to his feet. . . I was there 
 from 8 until 1/2 past 10, and sharing the terrible restlessness 
 of his condition, and knowing the utter impossibility of his get- 
 ting better, and the moral certainty of his getting worse, un- 
 less he could fall asleep, suggested that it might be well to 
 mesmerise him. As neither he nor Mrs. Leech were anything 
 but anxious that it should be done, on my assurance that it 
 could not possibly do him any harm . . . at 1/2 past 2 this 
 morning he knocked me up, and I went there. His restlessness 
 had become most distressing, and it was quite impossible to 
 get him to maintain any one position for five minutes. He was 
 like a ship in distress, in a sea of bed clothes. In the difficulty 
 of getting at him, and of doing the thing with any reasonable 
 effect, at first in a dark room, it was more than half an hour 
 before I could so far tranquilize him (by the magnetism I 
 mean), as to keep him composed awake for five minutes to-

 mon to people under that influence) what it meant by striking 
 twice, and in a few minutes fell fast asleep, breathing deeply 
 and regularly, and neither snoring nor starting. ... To pre- 
 vent talk about it [the magnetism'], we have agreed not to 
 tell him (the doctor) of the thing, at all events for the present, 
 though I understand he is favorable to magnetism. 
 
 Mrs. Leech ... is m great spirits at the improvement, and 
 was much astonished in the night when we talked across him

 * Fine long letter. ' ' Your note received this morning, amazes 
 me. Within two or three days after the receipt of the poor 
 boy's Manuscript, I returned it to you in a letter replying to 
 yours on the subject. I cannot quite accurately recall whether 
 I was here or at "Gravesend; but I strongly incline to the belief 
 that I was at the latter place. In that case I posted the letter 
 with my own hand. ... I must indeed have changed my nature 
 very much and cast my nature as a snake does his skin, if I 
 could have neglected you for whom I have a truly affectionate 
 
 ' regard, and whom I first knew through our poor dear Tal-

 * A splendid letter on Friendship. ' ' In the hope that a 
 friendly word of remembrance in season may not be unaccept- 
 able to you, I write to assure you of my sympathy with you in 
 your troubles. But do not let it cast you down too much. What 
 has happened to you, has happened to many thousands of good 
 and honorable men, and will happen again in like manner, to 
 the end of things. If you should feel the bitterness of losing 
 belief in any nature you had previously trusted in, consider 
 that the truth is always better than a falsehood, even though 
 the truth involves the detection of such skin-deep friendship 
 as that which can cool towards a man in temporary misfortune. 
 . . . Tou will not think, I know, that I obtrude myself upon you 
 in asking to be borne in mind among the friends who feel truly 
 towards you. ' '

 * "As if everything connected with the story were destined 
 to "be curious, this thing happens: In reply to my assurance 
 that he need not suspect his printers of treachery, Mr. Heaphy 
 mildly writes, 'how else could my version have the right date 
 of the occurrence?' Now our version HAD NO DATE AT ALL, but 
 when I came to correct the proof, I so perceived the necessity

 * Inserted is a very interesting AUTOGRAPH LETTER BY POE, 
 signed "Thomas W. White." At 'this time White was the 
 editor of the "Southern Literary Messenger" and Poe had 
 been his assistant for about a month. The letter is peculiar in 
 being signed with another name, without explanation, and 
 from the fact that Poe mentions himself by name in the body 
 of it. Lucian Minor, Esq., to whom the communication is ad- 
 dressed, evidently was a contributor, as the first paragraph 
 concerns itself with a number of references to editorials, an 
 address, etc. The latter part reads: " I ivill hand your trans- 
 lation to Mr. Poe in the morning, and will attend to your re- 
 quest touching keeping your name secret." With the above is 
 the original address on a separate slip: " Lucien Minor Esq. 
 Charlottesville, Virginia. "

 plates by George Cruikshank. Bound in 9 vols. 12mo, half 
 claret morocco, gilt tops. Lond. 1835-1853 
 
 * A FINE COMPLETE SET, WITH ALL THE ADVERTISEMENTS AND 
 
 COVERS BOUND IN. Thackeray's "Stubb's Calendar; or, The 
 Fatal Boots," appears in the 1839 number for the first' time, 
 and in the issue for 1840, his "Barber Cox, and the Cutting

 614. THE YELLOWPLUSH CORRESPONDENCE. 12mo, 
 full maroon crushed levant morocco, Jansen style, gilt top, by 
 Walters. Phila. : Carey & Hart, 1838 
 
 * THE FIRST COLLECTED EDITION OF ANY OF THACKERAY 's 
 WRITINGS that appeared in England or America, and antedates 
 the second publication (Paris Sketch Book) by two years. 
 Every copy of this work commences with the title-page, then 
 a page with the caption, the reverse. of which is marked page 
 " 14. " The work is perfect, the space having been left for an 
 intended preface or introduction, which never appeared. Very 
 Scarce.

 dition, with the page numbers (for the text) in the center, and 
 "wine" spelled correctly on p. 13. Printed on one side of 
 the leaf only. The text is now considered with reasonable

 Dickens.

 and small piece out of one leaf in No. 52, due to defect in

 * Of great interest to the collector of Thackeray, as it con- 
 tains ' ' his first appearance before an American audience. ' ' 
 In introducing him, Mr. Willis writes: "He will present a 
 long letter every week, and you will agree with me that he is 
 no common acquisition. ' ' The volume contains, in all, nine 
 articles by Thackeray. Hotten, the English publisher, dis- 
 covering these letters some time after Thackeray 's death, ' re- 
 published them under the title of ' ' The Student 's Quarter. ' '

 WITH THE LEAF OF ADVERTISEMENT, and free from the usual 
 foxings. The front wrapper bears an etching of Napoleon lying 
 in state, by Thackeray, which has never been reprinted in any 
 of his works. Not only a rarity as a Thackeray first edition, 
 but lacking in most Napoleon collections. Thackeray had not 
 yet become famous at the time of writing this pamphlet. He 
 was in Paris when Napoleon 's body was brought there from 
 St. Helena, and although it is one of his finest pieces of de- 
 scriptive writing he realized nothing from its sale, and it be- 
 came lost to circulation immediately.

 bury & Evans advts. in part 1, the slip of advt. in part 14). 
 
 Lond. : Bradbury and Evans, 1847-8 
 
 * A VERY GOOD COPY, with only two backs repaired, one wrap- 
 per mended, and a small portion of the margin of one wrapper 
 torn away, name on one wrapper, and one slightly spotted and 
 last leaf of advertisements in part 10, damaged. THE FIRST

 Revolutionary refugee, with whose family Thackeray had been 
 on friendly terms in Paris. Thackeray furnished the short

 eray's masterpiece, for which he did a vast amount of research 
 in eighteenth-century memoirs. The printing of it was de- 
 layed on account of the small amount of the obsolete type of 
 the Queen Anne period obtainable, and it was barely finished 
 in time for Thackeray to take with him to America, some copies 
 being delivered to him on the pier as he was sailing for his 
 first visit to this country.

 is an inscription " W. M. Thackeray Esq. with the best respects 
 of G. P. Putnam. New York, Nov. 29, 1852." THACKERAY HAS 
 WRITTEN HIS NAME OPPOSITE. His stamp is on the title-page and 
 the last blank leaves bear 7 original pencil sketches, probably

 578. ORIGINAL PEN-AND-INK DRAWING by Thack- 
 eray, of his daughters, seated in a garden. Size S 1 /^ x 4 inches. 
 
 * Accompanying the sketch, is a letter from Isabel M. Shawe, 
 his niece, who bears his wife's maiden name, explaining the 
 circumstances under which this sketch was made. "/ was on 
 a visit at the Bed Horse in Palace Gds. $ seeing the study 
 door open I went in, (we might never disturb when it was 
 closed) and asked, my uncle who was standing near the bow 
 window looking at some papers (probably proofs, but very un- 
 important to me!) if he wd. draw a picture for me. 'What 
 
 'of,' he asked very gently <$ sweetly, without shewing any signs 
 of haste. ' Oh, some pretty ladies, please. ' So in about 2 
 minutes he laid down his pen, $ put this into my hand saying 
 ' these are Counsin Annie $ Cousin Minnie in the garden, $ that 
 is a very rare plant beside them. ' Then I found that he was in 
 real haste to keep an appointment, but rather than disappoint a 
 little girl, lonely for her parents away, in India, he had given 
 up those minutes to please me " 
 
 579. ORIGINAL PEN-AND-INK DRAWING, colored, 
 sketched on the first of four pages. On the last page Thack- 
 eray has written, in his small straight hand ' ' This was to have 
 gone with the handkerchief & a)iother picture representing 
 Sister Anne waving her handkerchief out of window in the 
 3d box but the ink runs when I try to colour them & and spoils 
 em." Neatly repaired in folds. With envelope addressed by

 this 18th birthday you have Tcnown in this wicked world, I 
 tear a leaf out of a book (for I have no desk with me up 
 stairs} and I write a God bless you. ..." At the botttom of the 
 letter Thackeray has written a Postscript in the form of a

 many American letter there from the Brown House in Sd 
 Avenue, N. Y."

 * A MOST INTERESTING LETTER, in which he writes that after 
 keeping the Manuscript several months, HE FEELS OBLIGED TO 
 
 DECLINE TO PUBLISH ONE OF MRS. BROWNING'S POEMS. It IS 
 
 evident throughout the letter the embarrassment and chagrin 
 Thackeray felt in being obliged to pen his decision. He pref- 
 aces his letter with an allegory of an aching tooth, and applies 
 the lack of courage in the sufferer, to his condition in the 
 present case. "This tooth is an allegory to your poems that 
 you sent me months ago and who am I to refuse tJie poems 
 of Elisabeth Browning, and set myself up as a judge over her? 
 I can't tell you how often I have been going to write and have 
 failed. You see our magazine is written not only for men and 
 women, but for boys, girls, etc., .... and one of the best wives, 
 mothers, women in the world writes some verses, wh. I feel cer- 
 tain would be objected to by many of our readers .... but 
 there are things my squeamish public will not hear on Mondays 
 though on Sunday they listen to them without scruple. In your 
 poem you Jcnow there is an account of unlawful passion felt 
 by a man for a woman .... and so I have not published this 
 poem. 
 
 " To have to say no to my betters is one of the liardest duties 
 I have but I'm sure we must not publish your verse and 1 
 go down on my knees before cutting my victim's head off, and 
 say 'Madam, you know how I respect you, Browning's wife, 
 and Peneny's Mother; and for what I am going to do, I most 
 humbly ask your pardon," etc. 
 
 592. A. L. S., 1 p. 8vo. Kensington, July 3, 1861. 
 
 * ' ' You ask me for advice advice touching literature, ex- 
 actly the kind of advice I hate to give. Besides, do people 
 as a general rule take advice? .... This is the way to describe 
 a journey for the Periodical you name : ' On, still on, with 
 panting speed and wildly throbbing brow. Past the haunted 
 house by the Frozen Pool (!) tlwt stood out weird and ghastly 
 in the moonlight .... On, still on. Will he reach the Grange 
 in time? No matter! he will try. Suddenly, in the distance, 
 a burst of flame springs from the inside of a waterbutt, etc., 
 etc. That's the sort of thing [they] want, isn't it? You 
 are very welcome to it." 
 
 593. A. N. S., 1 p. 8vo. Kensington, Monday, no date. To 
 Mr. Milner. Regretting he cannot keep an appointment.
