DICKENS, CHARLES
Dombey and Son. With Illustrations by H. K. Browne.
London: Bradbury and Evans, 1846-48. First edition. Hatton & Cleaver, pages 227-250. This set agrees with Hatton and Cleaver's description, except that in part 11 there is no ad for Letts & Son, and the ad for Kaye’s Pills in part 12 varies slightly from the one described by Hatton & Cleaver. Two of the three misprints noted by Hatton & Cleaver are present: part 11, page 324, “Capitan” for “Captain”; part 14, page 426, “if” is not present; on page 431, the page number is present (in Hatton & Cleaver's earliest issue the number is omitted). 19 parts in 20, 8vo, original pictorial blue wrappers. 40 plates. ¶ A fine set of Dombey and Son in original parts, completely unsophisticated, as evidenced by the ink signature on each front wrapper of a contemporary reader, Stephen Blair. Dickens novels in parts with the evidence of the contemporary ownership on each wrapper are rare, and such provenance is virtually the only way to establish that a set has not been sophisticated, “married” or “made up.” Plates foxed - as seems inevitable - some minor paper repairs to the corners of a few spines; a few wrappers slightly soiled and smudged; overall in very nice condition, as issued.
