DICKENS (CHARLES)
Footnotes
THE FIRST SINGLE VOLUME OCTAVO EDITION OF THE COMPLETE SKETCHES BY BOZ. In 1837 Chapman and Hall acquired the copyright of both series of Sketches by Boz, issuing them in parts with the Cruikshank plates enlarged and an additional thirteen new illustrations. In May 1839 the complete series was published in this one volume edition, which includes the following first issue points: page 3 is unnumbered; the 'Parish Engine' plate is bound between pages 4 and 5; the 10 plates up to p.120 have no imprint; and the last page has "reeled before" as one word six lines from the bottom.
The letter from Thomas Hatton is dated 6 June 1936, and includes a paragraph on the advertisements not present in Collis's copy of Sketches: "I do not agree that the earliest issue should have the 4 leaves of advertisements. When they appear, you may be sure it is a later binding of the book".
