CHARLES DICKENS: AUTOGRAPH LETTERS, SIGNED CHEQUES, &c.

SHEDDING LUSTRE 1. ALS to 'My dear Ainsworth'. Furnival's Inn, Thursday morning. 'Are you not going to "shed a lustre" &c. &c. on the miscellany this month? I have been looking anxiously forward to receiving your paper...' 15 lines on 1p. 8vo sheet, laid down on card. A well-preserved early ALS, with Dickens's signature completed with his customary exaggerated flourish. ¶Not in Pilgrim Letters. To his friend and fellow author William Harrison Ainsworth. Written from Furnival's Inn, Dickens's place of residence from 1834 until the early spring of 1837, when he moved into Doughty Street. Undated other than 'Thursday Morning', but almost certainly early 1837, when Dickens was awaiting Ainsworth's contribution to the April edition of Bentley's Miscellany. Ainsworth's 'Our Song of the Month', a poem for April Fools' Day set to music, was the author's first writing for Bentley's Miscellany. It appears that Ainsworth often left editors despairing of when they might receive their copy. In a letter to John Forster of November 1838, Dickens describes Ainsworth as 'our procrastinating friend' (Pilgrim Letters I p460n), and earlier in the year had informed Forster that Ainsworth was badly behindhand with Jack Sheppard and that the publisher was 'desperately savage with Ainsworth's delay'. Ainsworth himself took over the editorship of Bentley's Miscellany after Dickens vacated the position in 1839. [1837?] £3,800 † 2. ALS to William Empson from Devonshire House, Thursday April the Fifteenth. 15 lines on 1p. ‘I have asked Lord Jeffrey in redemption of a pledge of his, to dine with me on Monday week the Twenty Sixth ... May I ask you to take counsel together, and act accordingly ...’. ¶Not in Pilgrim Letters. William Empson was Francis, Lord Jeffrey’s son-in-law and followed him as editor of the Edinburgh Review. Other guests on that night included Samuel Rogers, Albany Fonblanque, Bulwer Lytton and Sydney Smith, with Maclise unable to attend. (Pilgrim Letters XII addenda, p.575.) A contemporary ink note on verso records that it is the autograph of the writer of Nic. Nickleby, 1841. Signs along margins of removal from a frame. [1841] £1,500 † 3. Signed Cheque. Drawn on Messrs. Coutts & Compy, dated and filled in, in another hand, for six pounds payable to the Misses Rosalind and Marianne Elton. 24th. June, 1844. Dickens adds ‘Elton Fund Account’ below his signature. TOGETHER WITH: General Theatrical Fund Association receipt for sub- scription signed in the autograph of E.W. Elton as Treasurer (in which capacity Dickens had known him). ¶Edward William Elt, known as Elton, born in 1794, became an actor in 1823; whilst returning by sea from Edinburgh Theatre Royal to Hull, he was drowned when the ‘Pegasus’ struck a rock, 19th July 1843, leaving six daughters and a son. At a meeting at the Freemasons’ Tavern, Dickens was appointed Chairman of a Committee to raise funds for the benefit of the orphan children; Dickens writes to Angela Burdett Coutts, 26th July, 1843: ‘... I assure you that their condition is melancholy and desolate beyond all painting’. 1844 £600 † SIGNED BY DICKENS’S COMPANY 4. TWELVE SIGNATURES of Charles Dickens, and prominent members of the amateur dramatics company with which the author regularly staged charity and benefit performances: Mark Lemon, , John Leech, Frank Stone, Augustus Egg, Frederick Dickens & Augustus N. Dickens (brothers of Charles), Douglas Jerrold, John Forster, G.H. Lewes, and Leonora Wigan. Two adjacent leaves extracted from an album (13 x 22cm), one with eleven bold autograph signatures in a single column, the other with one autograph signature and three relevant newspaper cuttings. Mounted in a period frame. ¶This collection of signatures almost certainly dates from July 1847, and the two benefit performances given by Dickens and his company for Leigh Hunt and John Poole. The attached newspaper articles refer to the two performances given in Manchester and Liverpool towards the end of July, which managed to accrue the sum of 400 guineas for impoverished writers (“Dickens had his heart set on £500, and was disappointed because he did not get it ...”). Dickens was the driving force behind the performances, stage managing Jonson’s play , and playing the part of Captain Bobadil to great acclaim. The exacting schedule apparently took its toll on the writer who stated in his report to Thomas Mitton (Aug. 8, 1847), ‘I couldn’t stand upon my legs on the Thursday after the Liverpool night: having been upon them, in the Theatre, fourteen hours ...’ However, Dickens clearly ended up satisfied with the fundraising activities: writing to Thomas Beard on the 2nd of August, he stated ‘we are returned after a most brilliant and successful trip ...’ One of the newspaper cuttings refers directly to the enthusiastic autograph collecting that greeted the celebrated actors: ‘everybody outside wanted their autograph and I obtained half a dozen sets ...’ [1847] £2,500 † 1 AUTOGRAPH LETTERS ______

FROM CHARLES DICKENS TO HIS BROTHER 5. ALS to 'My Dear Frederick'. Broadstairs, Thursday night, tenth October 1850. 'You must not suppose that the item you extract from my sum of objection though a great one is the total. Many other objectives of the strangest kind to the incurrence of such a responsibilty would remain, if that were disposed of ... If I were security for you, and you were false .., you never could pay me back the value of that broken trust and never could satisfy confidence again. I wish to ask this ... could not the money be borrowed as a loan, to be repaid (principal & interest) at £50 a year. I believe that it could, and that instead of loading yourself with irons for life, you could [wear?] them for an ascertained number of years, with the hope of throwing them off while you had yet a term of active life before you ...' 32 lines on rectos of single folded sheet; two tiny marginal tears without loss, final blank with sl. damp marking and evidence in upper & lower margins of having been laid down at some point. ¶Not in Pilgrim Letters. This was written at a time when Frederick Dickens, 1820-1868, was heavily in debt, and shortly after Charles had declined a request from his brother to guarantee a loan of £600. Fearful that he would not be able to recoup the debt if his brother should default on the loan, Dickens preferred to place the matter in the hands of William Hodge, an acquaintance of , and secretary and actuary to the General Reversionary and Investment Co. Frederick's inability to control his financial affairs would become the defining feature of his life. Often exploiting the Dickens name, he managed to incur vast debts that he was never able to repay, and which eventually resulted in a term in debtors' prison, a fate that had been previously visited on his father. His financial mismanagement ensured what had been a close relationship with Charles became increasingly fractured, and eventually led to his complete estrangement from the . His sorry decline into penniless and alcoholic obscurity ended with premature death on October 20th 1868. Dickens remarked in a letter to Dr Howison, who attended Frederick in his last few hours, that 'he was my favourite when he was a child', but that he 'lost opportunities that I put his way'. 1850 £3,800 †

'COME ON THE STAGE AT THE END OF THE FARCE' 6. A NOTICE FOR 'ALL THE COMPANY', FROM CHARLES DICKENS. 11 lines in dark brown ink in Charles Dickens's distinctive hand on a single sheet of unheaded paper: "All the company are entreated to come on the stage at the end of the farce (the cue for the entrance of those not acting in it, will be Mr Lemon and Mr Charles Dickens shaking hands) for God Save the Queen [double underlined]. Solo parts by Miss Anne Romer and Mrs Lemon - chorus by the company - Wednesday night". With a small closed tear in top-right corner. Laid on to a single sheet of cream paper. ¶The notice is unsigned and undated, but appears to be from 1850 when Dickens was directing and playing in an amateur production at Knebworth, the family seat of his literary companion, Bulwer Lytton. Wednesday the 20th of November was the third and last night of the run of Ben Jonson's Every Man in His Humour, which was followed each night by John Poole's farce Turning the Tables. Mrs Mark Lemon was not part of the acting company, but was evidently invited to sing a solo part for the National Anthem. It was one of the few occasions she appeared on the same stage as her cousin Anne Romer, a late substitute for the indisposed Mary Boyle. See also Item 935. [1850] £2,000 †

SIGNATURE ON ENVELOPE FRONT 7. Autograph address & signature of Charles Dickens, to Thomas Chapman Esquire, Montague Place, Bryanstone Square. 4 lines in blue ink, cut from the front of an envelope, mounted on white paper. ¶Dickens corresponded frequently with Thomas Chapman, 1800-95, the eldest brother of the publisher Edward Chapman. This dates from some time after 1843, when Dickens started using blue ink. [c.1850?] £150 †

LETTER IN FRENCH 8. ALS to Monsieur Damps (?). , Jeudi Mars 25, 1853. '... Permettez moi de vous assurez que M. Louis Dickens n'est pas mon cousin, et que je n'ai fornit de connaissance avec son nom ...'. 14 lines on 1p. single folded sheet. With the original envelope and wax seal. ¶This letter, written entirely in French, is not recorded in Pilgrim Letters. It was not uncommon for Dickens to receive unsolicited requests and enquiries regarding supposed family members or former employees, the idea being that a phoney enquiry might result in a signed reponse from Dickens: a highly desirable, and not to say valuable, souvenir. It is possible that this note, one of very few that Dickens wrote in French, was a response to just such an enquiry. 1853 £1,800 † AUTOGRAPH LETTERS ______

9. ALS to J. Palgrave Simpson from Tavistock House, Monday Eighth October 1855. 25 lines on 2pp folded sheet, tipped on to an album leaf. Writing paper embossed with a small flower roundel. ¶The Pilgrim edition records no letter to Simpson, dramatist & novelist, until 1858. Dickens has received two letters from Simpson, does not feel sanguine about his enterprise, and is not disposed to join it. Dickens cannot speak for Miss Burdett Coutts as she is in the South of France but feels that she would not wish to become a shareholder. He hopes that the success of the project will disprove his misgivings. Simpson is now remembered as a novelist and dramatist and DNB gives no clue as to this enterprise. 1855 £1,500 †

PETTY CASH 10. Signed Cheque. Drawn on Messrs. Coutts & Compy. Made out to petty cash for five pounds, dated 23rd October 1857 and signed. Crossed & folded; sl. creased and with one v. sm. hole. ¶Signed also by W.H. Wills & almost certainly relating to . Crossed in ms. and also stamped ‘Commercial Bank of London W.B.’. 1857 £600 †

'CONCLUSIVE AGAINST ACCEPTANCE' 11. ALS to Miss Horner from Tavistock House, Monday evening Sixteenth November 1857. 14 lines on 2pp. ‘... My having been away, has a little delayed my answer to your esteemed note, but I hope this will not seriously inconvenience you. The circumstances of this article being a translated pamphlet ... is conclusive against its acceptance for Household Words ... I must decline it, very much against my will ...’ ¶To Ann Susan Horner, translator & writer. An extract only is reported in Pilgrim Letters VIII, p.479. The pamphlet referred to is probably one of her sources for a supplementary chapter to her translation of Pietro Colletta’s History of the Kingdom of Naples. Dickens wrote again to her in December 1866, Letters XI, p.284, in response to Horner’s offer to send a novel, which Dickens declines to publish in . 1857 £1,500 †

MANZANILLA 12. ALS to Joseph Langford, from Tavistock House W.C., Monday November Twenty Third, 1857, sending "my remainder of Manzanilla ... Better late than never ...". 13 lines on 1p in blue ink, with integral blank. ¶Not in Pilgrim Letters, which records a letter to the journalist John Alfred Langford the same day. Joseph Langford seems to have attempted a poem in praise of the wine in three pencil lines on the blank page 3 of this letter. 1857 £1,400 †

REPRINTED PIECES 13. ALS to Henry Bradbury on the headed paper of Gad’s Hill Place, Higham by Rochester, , Saturday Third July 1858. 18 lines on 1p. ‘I send you enclosed, a List of “Reprinted Pieces”. They are all in Household Words ... I wish them to be printed in the Library Edition in the order in which I send them. If there are too many, I will strike some out. If there be not enough, I will add some more ... let me have the Proof Sheets ... all together ...’. ¶Pilgrim Letters VIII, p.594. Henry Bradbury (of Bradbury & Evans), son of William Bradbury. Vol. VIII of the Library Edition was due on 1 August. 31 ‘Reprinted Pieces’ were included. The letter is signed with initials and is folded, with a purple stain, & the verso dusted. 1858 £750 †

14. ALS to George Bentley Esquire. Gad's Hill Place, September Ninth,1860. 'Dear Sir, allow me to acknowledge the receipt of your obliging note of yesterday's date ...' 9 lines on 1p. single folded sheet of headed paper. ¶Pilgrim Letters has a record of the envelope only. George Bentley was Richard Bentley's eldest son; he joined his father's publishing business in 1845, and helped revive the business after financial problems took it to the edge of bankruptcy in the 1850s. It was George Bentley who in 1868 oversaw the repurchasing of Bentley's Miscellany from William Harrison Ainsworth who had bought the magazine in 1843. Bentley's Miscellany, which had deteriorated in quality in the final years of Ainsworth's editorship, was subsequently merged with Temple Bar magazine. 1860 £2,200 † 10 AUTOGRAPH LETTERS ______

HOUSE ACCOUNT 15. Signed Cheque. Drawn on Messrs. Coutts & Compy. 27th February 1860, filled in and signed by Dickens. 4 old vertical folds, one v. small hole. ¶The cheque HC04774 for five pounds is paid to House. Dickens was still living at Tavistock House, removing to Gad's Hill in October 1860. 1860 £480 †

ENVELOPE ADDRESSED TO GEORGINA HOGARTH 16. Signed envelope, addressed simply ‘Miss Hogarth’. Black wax seal with C.D. monogram, edges of seal chipped but largely intact. ¶To Georgina Hogarth, probably c.1860. [c.1860] £450 † 'POOR ARTHUR' 17. ALS to T. Holmes Esquire from ‘All The Year Round Office, Wednesday Eighteenth December 1861’. 9 lines on 1p. folded sheet. ‘My Dear Holmes. I just missed you here. Today I am obliged to go out of town, and am not likely to be back before 10 at night. But tomorrow from 10 until past I am due to be here. I hope there may be nothing amiss that would have disturbed the peace of poor Arthur ...’. On mourning paper with integral blank. ¶Brief summary only, see Pilgrim Letters IX p.542. Probably addressed to Thomas Knox Holmes, solicitor of Holmes & Co who was also a Parliamentary agent, amateur actor & athlete. ‘Arthur’ is Arthur Smith, who managed Dickens’s readings in 1858 & 1861 until his death in October - Dickens’s letter to Mrs Smith of 9th October suggests an inscription for his tombstone. Presumably Holmes was also involved in the Readings after the death of Smith. Dickens in fact stayed at Gad’s Hill on the night of the 18th, worked there on the morning of the 19th & was back in the A.T.Y.R. office in the evening. 1861 £1,650 † ‘MY SON, FRANK’ 18. ALS to A.H. Layard on the headed paper of Gad’s Hill Place, Higham by Rochester, Kent. Friday Third October 1862. 17 lines on 1p, with integral blank. ‘... I do not want to trouble Lord Russell about my son Frank, but I should very much like to know what the probabilities may be as to his time of waiting before he gets nominated into the Foreign Office ... He was put down on Lord John’s list, upwards of a year ago ...’. ¶Layard was Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs for the second time 1861-66 under Lord John Russell, Foreign Secretary since 1859. Young Frank had been nominated for the civil service by Russell, but came out second in the competitive examination. The letter is published in Pilgrim Letters X, p.133 - the editor’s note suggests Frank Dickens’s stammer ‘may have told against him’. 1862 £1,500 † 'PAYING THE DEBTS OF OTHERS' 19. ALS to Peter Royle Esquire, from Gads’ Hill Place, Higham, 11th May 1863. 13 lines on 1p. folded sheet with integral blank. ¶An interesting letter not included in Pilgrim Letters. Having paid Dr Whitehead ‘I had no intention of imposing a loss upon you’ and sends a cheque. ‘I have suffered so severely from paying the debts of others’. This is probably not the novelist Charles Whitehead who died in Australia in 1862, and we cannot identify the events described here - many friends of Dickens died around this time. WITH: an Autograph Envelope also to Peter Royle, 27 Lever Street, Piccadilly, Manchester, date stamped ‘London W.C. 6 - MY 7 63’ which clearly contained another slightly earlier letter from that described here. 1863 £1,500 †

STAR & GARTER DINNER 20. Third person AL to Mr (Charles) Ellis on headed paper from Gadshill Place ... Friday 4th September 1863, bespeaking “a pretty dinner” at the Star and Garter. 7 lines on 1p holograph with old folds and holes for securing pin. ¶The dinner for six persons for 6 o’clock the following Tuesday was to be ‘like Mr. Forster’s annual dinner’. The letter is recorded in Pilgrim Letters X, p.284, without further information about the guests, but a letter of 7th September suggests Macready refused an invitation. Charles Ellis was manager of the Star & Garter Hotel, Richmond. 1863 £650 † AUTOGRAPH LETTERS ______

TO MARCUS STONE CONCERNING OUR MUTUAL FRIEND 21. ALS, signed with initials, to Marcus Stone, from the Office of All The Year Round, Friday seventh October, 1864. With original signed envelope. 7 lines in blue ink on 1p headed paper: ‘My Dear Marcus. It is all right. I mean that lettering rather to explain the general idea (very difficult to be lettred [sic] otherwise), than the particular passage. Affecy alys CD.' With a small tear in upper margin, without loss, not affecting MS. Mounted in a custom-made frame beneath the original hand written envelope, 'Marcus Stone Esquire, Russell House, Tavistock Square, W.C.' Signed 'Charles Dickens'. ¶Letters X p.433. Marcus Stone was engaged in illustrating Dickens's latest work, Our Mutual Friend, and Dickens was keen to ensure the lettering on the second plate for part VII, 'Forming the Domestic Virtues', complemented Stone's illustration. 1864 £1,650 † TO ROBERT LYTTON 22. ALS to Robert (Bulwer) Lytton, British Legation, Lisbon, from the office of All the Year Round. Saturday third November, 1866. 'I received your letter and packet here last night ... Mrs Brackenbury's brothers are both friends of friends, and I know her story very well: - I mean her own personal history. Of course I am (as you are) interested in her, and should be heartily glad to serve her. I have written so much of the Xmas No. myself - half of it - that the small space available renders selection among the avalanche of contributions, twice as difficult as usual. Besides which, there are in Mrs Brackenbury's paper such manifest evidences of inexperience, that I fear it could not hold its own, even in the usual annual struggle with expert writers. But it is too good to return. Pray tell her that I accept it with much pleasure for insertion in an ordinary number, and that I will ... see to its not being long on the outer steps of the Temple. The remembrance of a summer greeting from your charming wife is always fresh with me. It is late in the day to congratulate you on such an acquisition, but as I shall never forget her face and voice, and as I can never be indifferent of your happiness, I feel some sort of right to plead better late than never.' 35 lines on rectos only of a single folded sheet of headed paper. With the addressed envelope, stamp cut out; a few small tears along old folds. ¶Not in Pilgrim Letters. To the statesman, Robert Bulwer Lytton, who had evidently sent Dickens a manuscript for possible inclusion in the Christmas number of All the Year Round. The Mrs Brackenbury in question was never a direct correspondent of Dickens, and the identity of the 'little story' is unclear. In November 1866, in a letter to Birtles the printer, Dickens indicated that there was a manuscript that should be prepared for inclusion in the Christmas number, but this was by Amelia Edwards, a regular contributor to the periodical. It formed the final story in the number, The Engineer. In an odd quirk of fate, Edwards went on to publish the hugely successful novel, Lord Brackenbury, in 1880. Robert Bulwer Lytton, 1831-1891, was the son of the prolific novelist Edward Bulwer Lytton but, unlike his father, made his name as a statesman rather than in literature. His diplomatic career took him to, among other places, Copenhagen, Washington, Constantinople, Athens, Belgrade and Lisbon, and in 1876 he was appointed Governor General and Viceroy of India. His literary pretentions were limited, but he did publish several volumes of poetry using the nom de plume Owen Meredith. 1866 £3,200 † 'HAPPY TO BECOME A SUBSCRIBER' 23. ALS to Robert Gemmell. Gad's Hill Place, Friday seventh December, 1866. '... I beg to assure you that I shall be happy to become a subscriber of one guinea towards the publication of the work you have in hand. But I cannot undertake to read the ms with a view to writing a critical opinion ...' 22 lines on 1p. headed paper, mounted, framed & glazed. ¶Not in Pilgrim Letters. Robert Gemmell of Glasgow, 1821-1886, author of several volumes of sketches and tales, apparently asked Dickens for his opinion of his 3-act drama Montague. Dickens respectfully declined but offered a financial contribution as a subscriber. Pilgrim Letters records the existence of a further letter from Dickens to Gemmell, dated July 16 1868, in which he engages to subscribe to a book to be imminently published. Montague was published in 1868, without a list of subscribers. 1866 £2,800 † A HOLIDAY ROMANCE 24. ALS (to William Thomas) from Gad’s Hill, Thursday Twenty Fifth July, 1867. 12 lines on 1p. headed Gad’s Hill Place ..., laid down on piece. ¶Ticknor & Fields in Boston had asked Dickens to send a proof of his four stories for their children’s magazine (A Holiday Romance). ‘I think it best to leave the artist who is to illustrate them, to choose the points he may prefer for that purpose’. The letter appears to have been trimmed at tail since collected for the Pilgrim Letters XI, p.403, since Thomas’s name is no longer visible. He is perhaps being asked to engrave John Gilbert’s illustrations, but the letter seems worded for the illustrator himself. 1867 £1,200 † AUTOGRAPH LETTERS ______

CHEQUE FOR THE GARDENER 25. Signed Cheque. Drawn on Messrs. Coutts & Compy. 12th May 1868, filled in and signed by Dickens. 4 old vertical folds, one v. small hole. ¶The cheque SG05785 for fourteen pounds is paid to ‘Russell’. Presumably this is John Russell who occupied the position of head gardener at Gad’s Hill, until Dickens dispensed with his lacklustre services. In a letter to Charles Fechter, dated May 27 1870, Dickens declared, ‘Russell left for a general shakiness in money matters, and a general vague beeriness. I was glad to get rid of him as he was not a good gardener...’ Crossed ‘London County’ in ms. and also stamped ‘London & County Bank Rochester’. 1868 £550 † SLEEPER TO KING'S CROSS 26. ALS to Samuel L. Mason on the headed paper of Gad’s Hill Place, crossed through, from Kennedy’s Hotel, Prince’s Street, Monday night fourteenth December 1868. 17 lines on 1p, with integral blank, paper watermarked 1866. ‘I beg to assure you and I am truly sensible to the kindness and courtesy of your letter received tonight ... It will be a great comfort to me to avail myself of your most obliging offer next Saturday night by the 10 p.m. train from here to King’s Cross ...’. ¶Dickens was giving a Reading in Edinburgh at this time, returning to London by sleeper on the 19th December. Not in Pilgrim Letters, and no other letters to Mason are recorded. The exact nature of Mason’s ‘obliging offer’ is uncertain - Mason must have worked for the GNER(?) and arranged for a special sleeping saloon to be sent up from King’s Cross for Dickens (letter to Georgina Hogarth). In a torn envelope addressed in another hand to Mrs. Mason, Portland Villa, West Coates, Edinburgh. 1868 £1,500 † FINAL READING TOUR 27.

Colonel Baird. ¶The Albion, largely without acknowledgement, printed six of Dickens’s earliest sketches including ‘A Dinner at Poplar Walk’ (later ‘Mr. Minns & his Cousin'), his first fiction published in England. In doing so, the Albion (followed by the New Yorker) became the first publication to pirate Dickens’s work, thus beginning Dickens’s life-long campaign to secure international copyright for his works. ‘The Editor of the Albion’, Dickens writes in a letter to Joseph Lunn, Nov. 15, 1841, ‘is as cool a gentleman as I ever encountered. I owe to him and such as him the having used my best endeavours to advance the passing of an International Copyright Bill on this SKETCHES BY BOZ ______

side of the water ... and the exquisite justice of never deriving sixpence from an enormous American sale of all of my books’. (Pilgrim edn, Vol. 2, p.421.) The Copyright Bill was passed in 1841, although an English-American copyright law was not enacted until 1891. The Sketches appear as follows: 1. Mrs Joseph Porter. Vol. II, no. 13, p.104. March 29th, 1834. 2. Dinner at Poplar Walk. Vol. II, no. 14, p.106. April 5th, 1834. 3. The Bloomsbury Christening. Vol. II, no. 19, p.147. May 10th, 1834. 4. The Boarding House.

Passage in the Life of Mr. Watkins Tottle. Vol. III, nos 6, p.43 & 12, p.92 (both parts are signed ‘Boz’). February 7th & March 21st, 1835. Dickens began to write his scenes and sketches in 1833 and they started to appear in print in The Monthly Magazine in December of that year. Poplar Walk was followed by Mrs Joseph Porter in January 1834, The Bloomsbury Christening (April), The Boarding House (May and August), The Steam Excursion (October) and Passage in the Life of Mr Watkins Tottle (January and February 1835). In most cases the American publication was only a month after the first English appearance. 1834-35 £3,800

Some of the illustrations are signed by C.J. Grant. Lloyd’s address is 62 Broad Street, Holborn. The preface indicates that only 12 numbers were promised so that the work is terminated despite its success, but a second series is contemplated.

121. K., S. (Pickwick Papers) The "Laisser Aller" Principle: (Vide Sir R. Peel's speech on the increase of Manufactures exported). n.p. Single sheet, approx. 20 x 30 cm, printed on recto only; one or two marginal tears without loss. ¶A satirical squib, with a quotation from Pickwick Papers, at the expense of Sir Robert Peel. With a crude woodcut depicting a tight-reined pony pulling a comically large-wheeled hansom cab. Beneath the image, a six-line quotation from Pickwick Papers: "He always falls when he's took out of the cab ... but when he's in it, we bears him up very tight ... and we've got a pair 'precious big wheels on: so ... they run after him, and he must go on - he can't help it". This gently mocking squib appears to be contemporary with the first publication of Pickwick Papers, dating it to the time of Robert Peel's leadership of the Conservative opposition. The implication is that Robert Peel benefits from a strong entourage, and pointed in the right direction is able to get things done relatively efficiently, but left to his own devices lacks direction and impetus. The 'laisser aller' ('let go') principle is a play on Peel's championing of 'laissez faire' politics. [c.1837] £90 † PICKWICKIANA - Illustrations ______

Boz, like the bee, buzzes amid honey without clogging his wings ...'. There is a word of warning for Boz's future success: 'If Boz values his fair fame more than Mr Bentley's ducats - if he aspires to something better than being made a show of for a season or two - let him alike shun Mr Sikes and his gin-bottles, Miss Nancy and my Lady Matilda's syllabubs.

In blue-black ink, with Swinburne’s own corrections and additions. Signed ‘A.C. Swinburne’ at end. In custom-made folding blue cloth wallet; sl. worn. Starling and Self booklabels. ¶Swinburne’s introduction focuses largely on Oliver Twist, and the parallels that might be drawn between Dickens’ early and later works. He identifies the trends of compassion that punctuate the works, from their sometimes unrefined beginnings in his earliest writings, to the fully matured prose of Copperfield and Great Expectations: “... in Oliver Twist there are touches here and there of the hand which was to give us such masterpieces of terrible tenderness & manful OLIVER TWIST - Related Works ______

truth as we recognise & remember for ever in the figures of Abel Magwitch & Betty Higden. There is the same fire of sympathy, the same ardour of emotion, not yet so thoroughly trained into perfect service. But in the faults of execution & even in the failures of conception there is always the living sign of youth ...” He continues by examining the continuities in Dickens’s novels, the themes revisited and the characters redeveloped. “It is interesting to remark how many of the minor figures in this early work (Oliver Twist) remind the appreciative reader of others more fully and happily developed in later and riper books. The excellent if slightly conventional Mr Brownlow is a first rough sketch or study for the perfect and lifelike portrait of Mr Jarndyce ... Rose Maylie takes form & life & colour in the noble simplicity & the selfless devotion of & Esther Summerson ...” Swinburne also considers the ‘genius’ of Cruikshank, ‘happily yoked in harness with the genius of Charles Dickens’. ALSO WITH: ALS from Swinburne to ‘Mr (Frederic) Kitton’, editor of the Autograph Edition, referring to an article on Pickwick by Jane Seymour, in which she asserts that her husband was the ‘inventor’ of Pickwick. Swinburne disparagingly states, ‘The poor woman must have been a monomaniac: nothing else could explain or extenuate such silly malignity’. He also informs Kitton that his introduction to Oliver Twist is complete. 15 lines, in black ink, on a single folded sheet of paper; one horizontal crease. [c.1901] £8,500

Todd identifies this as the second setting, with the text taken from Dickens’ revised edition of 1868. The wrappers are undated. Todd identifies a similar copy in the Pressler collection with a catalogue dated Dec. 1899, and indicates the rarity of original Tauchnitz wrappers: “Through all nineteenth-century impressions original wrappers rarely appear, largely because fastidious collecters, and some few institutions, allowed their binders to strip away these ‘superfluities’. The general removal of what is now vital bibliographical matter is indeed a deplorable practice ...”. 1843 [post-1882] £35 IN PRINTED BOARDS 322. A Christmas Carol. Copyright edn. Leipzig: Bernh. Tauchnitz. Half title; some sl. spotting, a few marginal annotations in pencil in German. Orig. grey printed boards, purple-brown cloth spine; sl. browned and marked but good-plus. ¶Todd, A1 B. The back board advertises the works of Charles Dickens, in which is included The Letters of Charles Dickens, in 4 vols., edited by his sister-in-law and eldest daughter. Accordingly this edition must date from later than 1880. This publisher’s binding is not one described by Todd, but seems to be one of the ‘hundreds of ad hoc bindings ... done at least indirectly for Tauchnitz, all easily recognised as Germanic, but not so easily defined.’ Included in this list are ‘countless provisional glossy pasteboard bindings’ of which this is probably one. 1843 [post-1882] £50 A CHRISTMAS CAROL ______

Soane, while displaying saccharine admiration for his counterpart, counters the accusations vigorously, suggesting the artistic precedent may have flowed in the other direction: ‘A little tale of mine, The Three Spirits, was thought by A CHRISTMAS CAROL - Imitations ______

Illustrations ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS FOR A CHRISTMAS CAROL

BEDFORD, Francis Donkin. A series of original illustrations, all pen & ink on artist's board, by Francis Donkin Bedford, designed for the 1923 Macmillan edition of A Christmas Carol. F.D. Bedford, 1864-1954, was a London-born illustrator; originally trained as an architect, in the late 1880s he retrained as a painter and illustrator, his first published illustrations appearing in a volume of nursery rhymes in 1897. He designed a frontispiece and titlepage for an edition of A Christmas Carol in 1899 (Chapman & Hall), but the present designs are definitely later. In 1927 Warne & Co. published a Bedford illustrated edition of A Cricket in the Hearth. There is no record in the British Library or on Copac of a British edition of A Christmas Carol with these illustrations. The Library of Congress dates the New York edition as [1923].

332. Design for heading to Stave One, ‘Marley’s Ghost’. A symmetrical design with undertakers’ gloves & hats resting on a shelf either side of a plume of feathers. Image c.9 x 12cm. [1923] £120 †

333. Design for tail piece to Stave Two, ‘The First of the Three Spirits’. A dishevelled court jester sits astride the fulcrum of a pawnbroker’s balance. One side is heavily weighed down with full-to-bursting bags of money, while the other side lies empty with the unfortunate figure of cupid falling to the ground. Image c.8 x 11cm. [1923] £150 †

334. Design for heading to Stave Three, ‘The Second of the Three Spirits’. A symmetrical design with two nets, filled plentifully with food, hanging either side of a flaming torch. Each net is flanked with holly & mistletoe. Image c.8 x 13cm. [1923] £120 †

335. Design for heading to Stave Four, ‘The Last of the Spirits’. A symmetrical design showing a phantom bird spreading its wings over a shadowy graveyard. Image c.8 x 12.5cm. [1923] £120 †

336. Two designs for illuminated letters. An ‘M’ within a holly bush to open stave one, ‘Marley was dead’, and a ‘W’, also within a holly bush, to open stave two, ‘When Scrooge awoke’. Images c.5 x 5cm. [1923] £40 † _____

ORIGINAL TICKETS TO READINGS BY CHARLES DICKENS A rare opportunity to purchase an original entrance ticket to one of Charles Dickens's celebrated readings. The 1866 reading tour, beginning in April, was Dickens's first in three years, and was the first to include Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions, a comic adaptation of one of his Christmas numbers ideally suited to show off his verbal dexterity and masterful command of working class patter. It was during this tour that Dickens's relentless schedule began to take its toll, with complaints about fatigue and ill health becoming increasingly common features in his letters. On May 11th 1866 Dickens wrote to Georgina Hogarth, 'It has been very heavy work, getting up at six-thirty each morning after a heavy night, and I am not well today ... I have a severe pain in the ball of my left eye...'.

Tipped on to larger mount with partial typewritten transcript. ¶Miss Burdett-Coutts, close friend of Dickens’s, thanks Kean for his enquiries about a recent “unpleasant occurrence”: the attentions of a stalker, Richard Dunn, who had followed her to Harrogate and eventually had to be temporarily confined to prison. She will be unable to go to Liverpool and is glad to have seen the ‘Lady of Lyons’. 1838 £85 † MANUSCRIPT & AUTOGRAPH MATERIAL relating to Dickens ______

ROGERS, Samuel ALS to “My Dear Lord”, dated 22nd April. 9 lines on 1p 12mo with integral blank, with signs of mounting. Paper watermarked Whatman, 1843. ¶A brief letter in response to a welcome but ill-timed invitation: ‘... I cannot tell you how vexed I am that an old engagement to the Great Boz will deprive me of so great a pleasure; but I hope you will think of me soon again ...’. [c.1844] £85 † ALsS WRITTEN ON BEHALF OF CHARLES 833. DICKENS, John. Two ALsS to John Towne Danson from John Dickens, Charles Dickens’s father, writing on his son’s behalf when editor of the Daily News. 1 ALS, dated 14 January, 1846, from the office of the Daily News; 18 lines on1p. folded leaf. “Mr Charles Dickens desires me to say he is very anxious to have a few minutes conversation with you, that he shall be at the Athenæum from 5 o’clock until 7 today ...”. 2. ALS, dated 21 January, 1846, from the office of the Daily News; 12 lines on 1p. of small folded leaf. “I am desired by the Editor to request you will do him the favour of condensing your Leader as much as possible ...” ¶J.T. Danson, 1817-1898, had been engaged by the Daily News in December 1845 to write leaders on financial and commercial subjects. Charles Dickens’s desire to converse with Danson, and the request that he condense his latest article, was apparently a result of exciting events in the political arena, and in particular the impending speech of Robert Peel on Corn Law reform. Dickens was keen to ensure that there was enough available space in the paper to extensively report the speech before any other paper, and Danson’s leader had to be edited accordingly. John Dickens had been installed at the office of the Daily News towards the end of 1845. He was responsible for engaging reporters and negotiating their terms (See Pilgrim Letters IV, p.545n), and seems to have been left in charge of the office while Charles Dickens was out of London. It appears Dickens had dictated these letters to his father, following an injury to his writing hand. Dickens confessed in a note to Miss Burdett Coutts dated 12th January 1846, and dictated to Wills, ‘I have hurt my right hand and write illegibly’. ALSO WITH: Copy notes (dated April 1991) from Kathleen Tillotson, one of the editors of the Pilgrim Letters, on the subject of these two ALsS. She gives an extensive account of both Danson and John Dickens at the Daily News, with cross-references to further relevant materials in vol. IV of the Pilgrim Letters. 1846 £1,200 † MRS DICKENS'S CONFINEMENT 834. DICKENS, John. ALS from Charles Dickens's father to Mrs Charles Dickens's doctor. Cowley House, Sepr. 6. 'In transmitting to you the enclosed sum of twenty guineas, as the fee for your professional services during Mrs Dickens's confinement ... I assure you that I shall always maintain the highest opinion of your skill and care...' 19 lines on 2pp. ¶An extremely appreciative note written by John Dickens, 1785-1851, to the doctor who attended during the birth of her daughter. Born on the 16th of August 1850, Dora Anne Dickens was the the ninth of Dickens's ten children and the youngest daughter. She died in infancy on April 14, 1851, barely a fortnight after the death of her paternal grandfather. [1850] £1,500 † DICKENS’S YOUNGEST BROTHER: ‘SCHEME OF SETTLEMENT’ 835. DICKENS, Augustus Newnham. Scheme of Settlement. 3pp draft legal agreement, folio, on paper watermarked ‘Stradling 1846’. ¶Augustus, Dickens’s youngest brother, married Harriet Lovell at Trinity Church, Marylebone, on 5th December 1848. The document here is a draft marriage settlement between ‘Augustus Dickins’ (sic) and Harriet’s Guardians & Trustees (Harriet was a minor), Charles Dickens being one of the latter. Harriet went blind, and Augustus deserted her in 1857/8 for Bertha Phillips, with whom he lived as man & wife in America until her death. On his 1868 Reading Tour, Dickens decided not to perform in Chicago for what Dolby calls ‘entirely private’ reasons: ‘the presence of Bertha Phillips & her children, there’ (Letters XII, p.62). After Bertha’s death, Dickens wrote to the Editor of The Daily News on 14 January 1869 (Letters XII, p.274) to correct a report of the ‘Death of Mrs Augustus Dickens’. ‘... The widow of my late brother (i.e. Harriet Lovell) ... is a lady now living, and resident in London; she is a frequent guest at my house; and I am one of the trustees under her marriage settlement ...’.

Single foolscap sheet, verso blank; sl. torn and creased at head & tail. ¶Dexter outlines the determination of The Dickens Fellowship to continue to publish The Dickensian throughout the ensuing conflict. ‘‘The Dickensian’ carried on without interruption during the last war and, although the circumstances are somewhat different now, it is hoped to carry on in this ... We should endeavour to emulate the energy and determination Dickens himself would have put into the task, had he been confronted with similar circumstances.’ A ms. note at the head of the letter states ‘answered by F. Foster, Nov. 3, 1939’. Foster belonged to the Seattle Branch of the Dickens Fellowship. 1939 £10 † ‘YOUR STATEMENT IS INCORRECT’ 837. FORSTER, John. ALS to Messrs Bradbury & Evans, 25th May 1859. 46 Montagu Square. 2pp in black ink; 2 old folds. ‘I observe that you have published a statement respecting Mr Dickens in which I am referred to as the “literary friend” who communicated with you on Mr Dickens’s behalf at the Household Words office. ... Your statement does not set forth truly the communication I made to you. Both in what it asserts, and what it suppresses, it is incorrect. It is my duty to place this upon record - but it is not my intention to advert to the subject further.’ ¶Relating to the split with Bentley & the establishment of All the Year Round. 1859 £450 †

838. FORSTER, John. ALS to Messrs Bradbury & Evans, 14th December 1859. 46 Montagu Square. 3pp in black ink; 3 old folds. ‘I am about to request Mr Murray to communicate with you very shortly as to the publishing of a book of mine; and, remembering recent circumstances, I do not wish that this act should incur the danger of being attributed to any other motive than that which alone it springs from - namely, so much association with the past as makes me unwilling to have any work of mine, when I can assert the choice, printed elsewhere. I wish you to understand that course I take in this, indicates not the least change or modification of opinion as to matters which have lately broken off our old intercourse. ...’ ¶Forster had written to Bradbury and Evans earlier the same year in protest at the publishers’ misconstruing certain facts relating to the departure of Charles Dickens, the split with Bentley & the establishment of All the Year Round. 1859 £300 † FROM DICKENS’S SUB-EDITOR 839. WILLS, William Henry. ALS on Office of All the Year Round headed paper to John Scott, 31st May 1860. 15 lines on 2pp tipped on to mount with typewritten transcript. ¶Wills will not submit a work to Miss Burdett Coutts, but if Scott does so, will second his accompanying request when she returns to town. Perhaps this might be the John Scott described in BL as ‘Principal of the Wesleyan Training Institution, Westminster’, and writer on the education of the working classes. 1860 £80 † LUKE FILDES COLLECTION 840. (FILDES, Luke) DICKENS, Mamie. ALS from Mamie Dickens to Luke Fildes. 11 Strathmore Gardens, Jan.y 23rd.

He would have been so very very pleased! And his congratulations will, I know, have been as warmly received by you ...". 19 lines over both sides of single sheet of headed paper. ¶Apart from the day and the month, the letter is undated, and it is unclear what the nature of 'today's news' is. Fildes was made an R.A. in 1887, and it may be this to which Mamie Dickens alludes. WITH: A printed acknowledgment card from Mr Charles Dickens jun.r, Miss Dickens, Mr Charles Collins, Miss Hogarth and Mr Henry F. Dickens, addressed in ms to Mr S. L. Fildes, returning 'their sincere thanks for [his] kind sympathy'. A single piece of card, 11 x 8cm, with black borders. Complete with originial envelope, addressed to S.L. Fildes Esq., 42 Hunter Street, also with mourning borders. Postmarked July 9th, 1870. ALSO WITH: A ms inventory of expenses, filled in by Luke Fildes, during a brief tour of Western Scotland. Dated Tuesday 10th June 1873 - Monday 16th June 1873. As well as board, transfers and meals, Fildes also claimed for a game of billiards on Thursday night (one shilling). An issue if The Graphic dated September 1873 featured illustrations of a trip from Oban to Glasgow. These expenses may well have been incurred while Fildes was doing his preliminary research. ALSO WITH: An empty envelope addressed in ms to Fildes at the offices of All the Year Round, but redirected to Fildes' home address. Dated Feb 9, 1871.

With the booklabel of Lindsay Fleming, Aldwick Grange, Bognor Regis. ¶This collection of papers and correspondences relates to the authenticity of the Samuel Drummond portrait of Charles Dickens, c.1844, which was for a long time in the collection of Baroness Burdett- Coutts. The rather romanticised image of the writer, with Byronesque wavy hair and a ruffled collar, PORTRAITS & PHOTOGRAPHS ______

led to suspicions that the painting was not of Dickens at all; additionally, the colour of the eyes was inconsistent with other portraits. When the portrait was bought by James Fleming in 1922, he and his son Lindsay set about authenticating the work, and convincing the doubters that the work was a genuine Dickens portrait. Letters from the auction house where the painting was sold, from the Dickensian B.W. Matz on behalf of Kate Perugini, Dickens's daughter, and from Charles Osborne, secretary to Burdett-Coutts, all make a case for the validity of the painting. In one letter, dated January 1923, Matz casts doubt on the portrait's credentials ("I do not know on what authority it is stated to be a portrait of Dickens..."), but later in the same month, following a visit to the elderly Kate Perugini, he is more confident of its status: "During my visit to Mrs Perugini ... I spoke to her about the Samuel Drummond portrait. ... She is pleased to give you her assurance that she does not doubt its authenticity. ... I am glad to be able to furnish this information, as it also settles a doubt that had always been in my mind". A brief overview of the evidence, typed by Lindsay Fleming, and further annotated in his own hand, is provided as an introduction. Included with the collection is Heritage Bookshop Catalogue 206 offering the portrait at $40,000. [c.1932] £420 PROFESSIONAL RIVALRIES 860. COTTON, William C. Mr Dickens Meets His Rival Best-Sellers.
