BOTH SERIES 1 & 2 ARE 1ST PRINTINGS. SKETCHES BY BOZ SERIES I IS IN THE EARLIEST STATE ON THE MARKET—AND THAT’S BEEN AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN QUITE SOME TIME—WITH NEARLY *ALL* ERRORS UNCORRECTED. ***NOTE: The only other complete copy on eBay is listed for $35,000 and for Series I only with the number of Smith errata points met unidentified.*** CONDITION: VG+ (some would say NF by antiquarian standards) Sketches by “Boz,” Illustrative of Every-Day Life, and Every-Day People. Series I in Two Volumes & Series II in One Volume, by Charles Dickens. Illustrated by George Cruikshank. Series I Published in February 1836 and Series II in December 1836 by John Macrone in London. Both series are first editions, first printings, rare earliest of states with nearly ALL points of over 100 errata identified by famed Dickens bibliographical cataloguer Walter E Smith. All volumes bound in polished full calf leather fine binding by the prestigious Rivière and Son bindery circa 1880s: ruled and bordered in gilt; triple gilt fillets paneling with corner emblems; spine with five raised bands, two leather morocco labels and elaborate gilt decoration; all edges gilt; gilt dentelles; dark green endpapers. All steel-engraved plates are present. While The Pickwick Papers is Dickens’ 1st novel, this is Dickens’ exceedingly scarce 1st book (a collection of short stories ) published a year earlier in 1836. It is arguably the rarest of Dickens’ works in its first issue and EXCEPTIONALLY RARE when nearly all identified errata are uncorrected. SERIES I First printing as signified by February 1836 publication date and Whiting imprint (the printer). Volume I State: The many dozens of errata points are met except three: (1) page 336 line 20 “vice” is spelled correctly. Two other points mentioned are not met but Smith is uncertain of them having priority as an earlier state: (2) period is present after “this” on page 174, last line; and (3) Macrone imprint is present on the Greenwich Fair illustration facing page 329. Volume II State: The many dozens of errors are present except three: (1) the hyphen on page 287 is present after “chair”; (2 & 3) page 305, 3 lines up, correct spacing in “deal” and the “f” is present in “of.” As an additional point of errata not mentioned by Smith, the plates which should be facing pages 235 and 255 have been swapped. SERIES 2: First printing, first issue as indicated by the publisher’s failure to include the list of illustrations and the 1836 date on vignette title page. All other errata listed by Smith have no state priority, as he indicates. This is due to the Second Series being so rushed to be printed in time for Christmas that almost every book published is mixed with a variety of corrections and errata with an indiscernible pattern for determining priority beyond the two listed above. Having said that, this copy has the vast majority of possible errata identified by Smith. OVERALL CONDITION: VG+ Series I & II – sun -darkened spines which are dry, and a bit rubbed. In both Series I volumes a small strip of leather has been chipped off the crown. Some shelf wear rubbing to edges. Interior is generally quite clean and bright with only light foxing, signs of finger handling (like a smudge or light imprint) and the ever-present light offsetting from the steel-engraved plates. Frontispiece tissue guards were removed in all volumes. Only 4 pages of the original 20 pages of publisher ads are included in Series II. Text is free of writing: markings in pencil on front flyleaves and a few stray marks in pencil/evidence of pencil erasure on some of the initial page margins. No bookplates. No stickers. Overall, a beautiful set of first editions and printings of Dickens’ first books in prestigious 19th century Riviere fine binding. Series I is in one of the earliest states that has been made available for sale in the past 20 years. Nearly all 100+ errata are present. Books will ship fully insured with signature required for your protection. Please see pictures as they are an important part of the condition description. More pictures available upon request.
