Sunday/ Under three Heads./ {Woodcut)! as it is;/ {Woodcut)! as Sabbath bills would make it;/ {Woodcut)! as it might be made./ By Timothy Sparks./ London :/ Chapman and Hall, i86, Strand./ 1836. Collation, pp. v-49, with three illustrations and illustrated cover. Notes. This is one of tlie scarcest of Dickens's books. There are two modern reprints, which can with care be distinguished from the original. The first reprint, issued by Mr. Jarvis, was reproduced by some " process," and the plates are blurred and indistinct ; the second, issued in Manchester, has some misprints in the text, but the plates were engraved on wood, and are very fair reproductions of the originals. Some copies of the original have the date erased, probably by some dealer, who bought up the remaining copies and hoped to sell them as a new publication. Price. ^8 to ^10. 1 2 DICKENS. III. Title.

Published in twenty numbers, in green wrappers, one of which should be preserved. A volume, as large as this, might be written on " Pickwick " alone. The collector need only be told what forms such a complete, first edition as can now be obtained. It should have seven plates by Seymour, thirty-six plates by " Phiz," and twn plates by Buss. The last two, the "Cricket Match," and "Arbour Scene," are not essential, as they were so bad that they were suppressed, and two others, "The Influence of the Salmon," and another "Arbour Scene," by Phiz, were substituted. .The collector should see that all these plates are good impressions, and that they have no letterpress descriptions under them. He should also see that the plates by Buss are original impressions, as they have been republished in so-c^iWcd facsimile. The republished plates were first issued on India paper only, in which form they could deceive nobody, but I have since seen copies on ordinary paper. The most cursory comparison of an original with one of these impressions will, however, enable anybody to distinguish between them. It is also desirable to have the four notices issued with Numbers 2, 3, 10 and 15 respectively. Price. £10 to £1^, for such a copy as I have described. HINTS TO COLLECTORS. VL Title. Oliver Twist ;/ or, the/ Parish Boy's pro- gress./ By "Boz.'V In three Volumes./ Vol. 1./ (Vol. 11.)/ (Vol. in.)/ London:/ Richard Bentley, New Burlington Street./ 1838. Collatioti. Vol. 1. One unnumbered page of List of Illustra- tions, pp. 33 f, with nine illustrations. Vol. II., pp. 307, with seven illustrations. Vol. III., pp. 315, with eight illustrations. Notes. The first two volumes were originally issued in " Bentley 's Mis- cellany." The three volumes were then published before the completion of the third volume in the "Miscellany." The last plate, "Rose Maylie and OHver," showing four figures in a room in front of a fire- place, commonly called the " Fireside Plate," was cancelled, and another plate, bearing the .same title, and representing Rose Maylie and Oliver in front of the tomb of Oliver's mother, was substituted. This second plate appeared in " Bentley's Miscellany" and in all but the earliest copies of the book. Care must be taken to see that the title- pages read as above. A second edition bearing the same date, but with a title-page reading as follows: "Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickens," was published, and often passes as a first edition. Price.

Notes. The first octavo edition, issued in ten numbers, with a green wrapper by George Cruikshank, representing scenes, some of which are not included in the original illustrations. The wrapper should be pre- served. The plates were touched up, and I think some of them must have been re-etched, as the variations from those in the three volume edition are considerable.

In the earliest copies of Vol. I., the preliminary pages, though only eight in number, are paged up to sixteen. This was corrected later, and many copies of the first edition will, consequently, be found with the preliminary pages numbered up to eight only. A reference to " The Life of Charles Dickens," by John Forster, vol. ii., p. 13, et scq., will explain the original error, as it seems probable, though Mr. Forster does not say so, that the introductoiy chapter had been printed before it was decided to suppress it, and the pagination of tlie earliest copies was not altered. Price. £2 to £2 ioj:. HINTS TO COLLECTORS. 2 I XV. Title. A Christmas Carol./ in Prose./ being/ A GHOST STORY OF CHRISTMAS./ by/ CHARLES DiCKENS./ With illustrations by John Leech./ London :/ Chapman & Hall, 186, Strand./ MDCCCXLIII. Collation. Two unnumbered pages, preface, and contents, and pp. 166, with four full-page coloured illustrations. Notes. The first issue was in brown cloth, with gilt edges. The earliest copies have green end papers, and on p. r is "Stave L", the later copies having " Stave One," to match with the headings to the later chapters. Much discussion has been caused by the existence of some copies having the date of 1844, with no acknowledgment on the title-page as to edition, and with the parts of the title-page that are usually printed blue, printed green. The question is, "Is this a first edition?" I think that, though it is dated 1844, and there were several editions in 1843, it is a first edition as much as, but no more than, the red and blue edition. My reason for saying so, is that all the red and green copies I have seen have " Stave I." on the first page. My theory is that some red and blue copies, dated 1843, and some red and green copies, dated 1844, were printed to enable the author to see which looked best, the red and blue copies were preferred, and the others were consequently not issued in any considerable number. I am convinced that the red and blue copies are genuine first editions, because I have in my possession a red and blue copy absolutely uncut, having "Stave I." on p. i, and being, I believe, the very first copy printed and sent to the binder for his guidance.

This was altered in the other plates to £\oo. Copies with the mistake are scarce, and consequently more valuable than the others. Price. £1 to ^5- HINTS TO COLLECTORS. 23 XVIIL Title.

One unnumbered page of illustrations, and pp. 175, with two full-page illustrations. Notes. Issued in red cloth covers, which should be preserved. The ilkistrated title-page in the first issue has the publishers' names etched on the plate. In the later issue their names are printed below the plate. I cannot refrain from noticing here a most interesting copy of "The Chimes " in a friend's collection. He bought it in a set of the Christmas Books, and found to his annoyance that it was imperfect, many of the woodcuts not having been printed in the spaces left for them. He showed it to me, and I found that the lower part of the woodcut on p. 125 differed from that in the published book. Leech had misunderstood his author, as in the "Battle of Life," but had been foinid out in time. Instead of drawing Richard "with matted hair," he had drawn a dissipated " Trotty Veck," with hat, apron and all, which was not what Dickens intended. This is probably the only impression of this woodcut in existence. Price. £\ los. with the illustrated title in the first state. \^s. to 20s. in the second state. 24 DICKENS. XIX. Title.

I suppose nobody has ever seen a second edition of this book. The title-page is always the same. There were however three issues, which can be distinguished by the illustrated title. The first issue has " A Love Story " printed in a simple scroll, and underneath is printed : London :/ Published by Bradbury & Evans, Whitefriars./ 1846. The second issue, which is far the scarcest, has "A Love Story," borne by a cherub, and underneath is printed, London : Bradbury & Evans, Whitefriars.

Vol. I., one unnumbered page of inscription, and PP- 344- Vol. II., pp. 351. Vol. III., pp. 344. Notes. The whole first edition of this book was absorbed by the libraries, and it is, consequently, one of the most difficult of all Dickens's books to get in clean, uncut state. Other editions were printed, bearing on the title-pages an announcement of second, third, or otlier edition. These editions have been transformed into first editions by some dis- honest person, who has printed title-pages as above, and has, no doubt, done a profitable trade with unsuspecting purchasers. The title-pages should be carefully inspected to see if they correspond as to paper, type, etc., with the remainder of the book. This book has never been worthily illustrated in England ; I am glad, therefore, to announce the issue, by Messrs.

This story has, perhaps, as much, or rather as little, right to claim Dickens as its author, as has " A Curious Dance round a Curious Tree." (See No. XLVII. ) This story was written by Mrs. Gaskell, was published in "All the Year Round," was, no doubt, f^/Z/^a' by Dickens, and was published in "The Irving Offering" for 1851, New York, under his name. I know of only two copies. Price. £S' HINTS TO COLLECTORS. 4 1 XLVn. Title. A Curious Dance/ Round a Curious Tree./ By/ Charles Dickens, (n.d. [i860.]) Collation, pp. 19. Notes. There is no title-page. Tlie title above is taken from the cover. There are two editions of this little pamphlet, which was written by Mr. \V. H. Wills, and originally published in "All the Year Round." One of the copies in the British Museum, which I believe to be the first edition, is in a purple wrapper. The other edition, which I believe to be later, is in a pink wrapper. The pattern on this is difterent from that on the purple wrapper ; a comma, instead of a full stop, comes after the word "Tree," and the last seven lines on p. 19 are printed in thick type.

The dramatis personcs .... are in reality strongly individual, and surprise one with their incon- sistencies just as real human beings do ... . There is something powerful in the way in which the reader is made to feel both the reality and the untrustworthiness of his [the hero's] religious fervour, and the character of the atheist, Graham, is not less strongly and definitely conceived .... It is a work that shows imaghiation and moral insight, and we shall look with much anticipation for another from the same hand." — Contemporary Rrdinv.
