DICKENS (CHARLES)
Footnotes
FIRST EDITION OF THE SECOND SERIES OF 'SKETCHES BY BOZ', EARLY ISSUE. According to Michael Sadlier, "a few copies are known with no List of Illustrations and with 'Vol. III' unerased and these would certainly seem to represent an earlier (and perhaps suppressed) issue of the book, which was evidently unknown to J.F. Dexter". Smith found six comparable copies, but concludes that priority is uncertain in terms of text, make up and binding. The spine of the present copy does have the black pigment, but the design of the blind panels differs very slightly from other copies seen, Collis describing it as "2nd issue cover" with no explanation.
Provenance: "Text with loose cover bought from Mr. Byram 23 May 36/ Recased etc. by Morell. June 1936", note in Collis's hand loosely inserted.
