Beschreibung

This interesting Victorian anthology was published from the 1820s to the 1840s, collecting chapters and snippets from the popular works of the day; most likely they were pirated since international copyrights had not been established. This volume happens to contain portions of the First American Printings of "Oliver Twist" and "Nicholas Nickleby" (recall that Dickens himself wrote and published serially). This is a Very Good (Plus) copy of the First Edition. Marbled paper-covered boards with red leather spine and tips; spine labeling in gilt - including the legend "War Department Library," which matches a label on the front paste-down. Clean text; 576 pages (although there is a publisher miscue with the "Life and Writings of Sir William Temple" bound-in twice). All page-ends marbled. Rubbing to the margins; occasional spotting to the text, which is generally bright and supple. An interesting item for the Dickens completist. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
