However, the errors which occurred on pp in the first few issues are present. The plates, as often, are in mixed states, but all have captions and imprints at the bottom instead of page locations, and the vignette title is in the second state, with Weller on the sign. (According to Smith, p. 25, in the later issues, the plates were entirely re-etched, without page locations, but signed, titled, and containing the imprint of Chapman & Hall). One plate (The Trial) is incorrectly placed, and the so-called suppressed plates by Robert Buss have been replaced with the two plates by Phiz. (Robert Seymour executed only 7 plates for Pickwick before his death on April 20, R. W. Buss was appointed as his successor, but supplied only two plates, which Dickens did not like. Hablot K.

7 Catalogue 228 november 2013 literature binder s blank at the start of that volume, leaving a tape mark), is an autograph letter from Dickens (single sheet, folded, dated Second September 1853, and signed with his initials). The letter is headed Boulogne, where the Dickens family holidayed in the summers of 1853, 1854, and 1856, and is addressed to Dear Mark almost certainly Mark Lemon, founding editor of Punch, who was a close friend of the Dickens family. In 1850, Lemon had dedicated his fairytale, The Enchanted Doll to Dickens daughters Mary and Kate, to whom he was known as Uncle Mark. A year earlier, together with John Forster, Lemon broke the news to Dickens of the sudden death of the novelist s infant daughter Dora, and it was Lemon who stayed with Dickens that night, keeping vigil over the dead child s body. The letter suggests that Lemon had just returned from a visit to the Dickens family in France, and proposes a meeting in London in the following week, to dine and make a theatrical night of it. ( In addition to his journalism, Lemon was the author of numerous melodramas, operettas and comedies, and frequently participated in Dickens s amateur theatricals). Dickens then refers, briefly, to his current writing project, A Child s History of England, which was serialized in Household Words from 1851 to December 1853: I am in a prostration of laziness, only broken by the Child s History and enough too, for the reading takes no end of time. The letter ends with an affectionate postscript: Enclosed, an immense packet of love and regards. $20, Dobson (Austin) AUSTIN DOBSON CALENDAR [cover title].

Originally published in 1820 under the pseudonym of Peter Corcoran (a famous boxer of the 1770s). John Hamilton Reynolds ( ) is today best remembered as a close friend of Keats. His first volume of verse was published in 1814, and he initially devoted most of his time to literature and sport, but from about 1818 onwards (particularly after the death of Keats in 1820) he became more committed to his legal career. John Masefield, in his Introduction to this edition, notes that The Fancy was written shortly before Reynolds marriage, and suggests that it can be viewed as his final parting with his youth, his poetry, and the forbidden delights of youth... Instead of going with his friends to talk art, or to watch boxing, he was to sit at home and play cribbage. The glossary at the end of this volume is of sporting (and drinking) slang of the period, and defines The Fancy as Life preserved in spirit. $ Ricketts, Charles: Warren (John Leicester, Lord de Tabley) POEMS DRAMATIC AND LYRICAL.

24 Item 238 Item 239 Item 240 Item 242 Item 243 I ll send you early copies. Much of the letter is to do with health of both Mrs. Parkes and Wren, including a description of the author s ongoing heart problems: I go quite unconscious & turn blue & make a lot of trouble when the attacks come. The letter is signed affectionately Bestest love, (Isabel hasn t really got it quite all), Christopher. 2. A typescript letter, signed and with brief handwritten annotations, on the author s narrow cr. 4to letterhead, dated 15th June 1935, lightly creased from folding into four. This letter is also to Mrs. Parkes, thanking her for sending a portrait of her son Francis Patrick, who was Wren s god-child. It contains mainly domestic news: mention of a recent cruise; the sale of the Wrens cottage at Beaconsfield, and the probable purchase of a new home at Farnham Common; plus a brief reference to Wren s latest book, Bubble Reputation. The letter is signed devotedly, P. C. Wren* (*or Christopher, of course), and a postscript explains You will excuse the typewriting, won t you. My right hand is out of action again. 3. A signed photograph of Wren, mounted and framed, inscribed on the reverse To Francis Patrick from his God-Pa. (A rectangular section has been cut from the back of the frame, so that the inscription is visible). 4. A sterling silver christening mug, hallmarked [Adie Bros. Ltd., Birmingham, 1930], with the engraved inscription Francis Patrick Parkes with every good wish from his godparents Isabel and P. C. Wren. March 26th In form, the mug is 11cm. high, and 9 cm. wide at the lip; a plain baluster shape onto a circular spreading foot, with a leaf decorated scroll handle. *All items are from the collection of [Francis] Patrick Parkes. The long-standing friendship between the Parkes family and the Wrens began when the two couples met on a cruise, probably in 1927, around the time of Wren s second marriage. Isabel, who is also mentioned in both letters, was P. C. Wren s second wife, and had previously been married to Cyril Graham Smith, a civil engineer with the Indian Education Service at Poona. Wren sent presentation copies of many of his books over the years, initially to Mr. & Mrs. Parkes, afterwards to their son, all signed and/ or with affectionate inscriptions from the author. P. C. Wren was quite reserved about his personal life, and few photographs of him are extant. The one he sent framed to his god-son differs very slightly from that featured in those of his books which contained an author s portrait. Like the official publicity photograph, the framed portrait shows him in regimental dress, with the shoulder crown denoting the rank of Major, but with the addition of a monocle over his left eye. The uniform could be that of the Poona Volunteer Rifles, which Wren joined while he was working for the Indian Education Service, although he did not rise higher in the ranks than Captain. (It is generally accepted that after he became a successful author Wren exaggerated his military experiences, particularly his unsubstantiated claim to have served in the French Foreign Legion).
