DICKENS, Charles. Master Humphrey's Clock. London: Chapman and Hall, 1840–41. First Edition, First Issue. With the following textual points: Volume I, p. 128, “deessed” for “dressed”; p. 145, “accomodation”; p. 165, “poney”; and p. 239, line 11, “arangements.” Volume II, p. 80, no period after “violently,” a feature Smith notes occurs only in some copies; and p. 128, “intructions” for “instructions.” Volume III, p. 133, the chapter heading reads “Thirty-Fiftth”; and p. 322, “atime” is printed as one word. Three volumes, complete; tall Octavo. Vol. I 306 pp.; Vol. II 306 pp.; Vol. III 426 pp. Original purplish vertical-ribbed cloth, gilt-lettered and decorated spines, covers elaborately blind-stamped, each front cover with the gilt clock device corresponding to the volume number; marbled edges and endpapers. Three frontispieces and numerous wood-engraved illustrations by George Cattermole and Hablot K. Browne (“Phiz”), with additional contributions. Publisher’s advertisements at rear. The complete book-form issue of Dickens’s experimental weekly publication, containing the First Editions in book form of The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge. Master Humphrey's Clock was issued first in weekly numbers, then in monthly parts, and finally in the present three-volume cloth form. Dickens conceived the work as a miscellany centered upon Master Humphrey and his circle, but it developed into the publication vehicle for the two novels. Ephemera laid in: a December 1920 newspaper clipping concerning Dickens’s Christmas books and A Christmas Carol, together with a personal letter from a previous owner dated 1934. Contents generally clean and unmarked; with only occasional foxing or stain. Previous owner’s signature dated 1881 to one front free endpaper; later bibliographical notes to another. Bindings are sound and square. Light rubbing to extremities, spine ends, and boards. A Very Good- triple decker First Issue set of Dickens's novel. References: Eckel, p. 67 ff.; Ray, The Illustrator and the Book in England from 1790 to 1914, 60; Smith I, 6. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover; Illustrated; Three Volume Set.].
