Bound in the original black cloth, stamped in gold on the spine and front cover. From the partial dust jacket (inner flap tipped-in): "These letters of Charles Dickens, hitherto unpublished, have both a social and literary significance He frankly discusses religious instruction, his distrust of clergymen, slums, overcrowding, and current events such as the death of Byron's daughter, Wellington's funeral, the Indian Mutiny, etc" From the editor's foreword: "On the 17th of May, 1922, a box containing upwards of six hundred letters from Charles Dickens to Miss Burdett-Coutts, afterwards the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, was sold by Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson, and Hodge of New Bond Street, London. The collection as a whole was purchased by Mr. O. R. Barrett, of the United States. During the years 1887-1898, when I had the honour of being the private Secretary of Lady Burdett-Coutts, I made, with her full knowledge and special permission, extracts from some of the letters. It is now a source of the deepest regret that I did not copy all of them. In making the extracts every care was taken to follow the spelling, punctuation, and use of capitals in the originals. It will be seen that Dickens almost invariably used a capital when he wished to emphasize a particular word. He rarely used italics; and the only departures in the following pages from the original letters is the printing in italics of the titles of books and of other publications, and of the dates in words at the beginning of each letter".
