DICKENS (CHARLES)
Footnotes
A VERY GOOD SET OF THE RAREST ISSUE, IN WEEKLY 88 PARTS. "Of the four issues the weekly one is difficult to obtain in a clean condition, and is therefore the costliest" (Eckel). The portfolios containing the parts seem particularly scarce. Their inner covers bear the bookseller's ticket of Nettleton, Plymouth, and are printed with: 'Portfolio for Master Humphrey's Clock. Price Two Shillings. This portfolio is intended to contain Twenty-six numbers of the "Clock" after the four pages of Advertisements have been cut off. London: William Smith, 113 Fleet Street'.
Master Humphrey's Clock was one of the first works to appear in weekly as well as monthly parts, containing the two novels The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge.
