THE 38tbltograpl)g of Miiktm A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL LIST ARRANGED IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER OF TH] PUBLISHED WAITINGS IN PROSE AND VERSE CHARLES DICKENS (FROM 1834 TO 1880). '880 TO WILLIAM THOMAS WAITE, ESQ. BARRISTER -AT -LAW THIS LITTLE BIBLIOGRAPHY IS AFFECTIONATELY AND GRATEFULLY INSCRIBED \~i ?'46523 PREFACE. I have spared no pains to make this Bibliography exhaustive as well as accurate. Like its prede- cessor, The Bibliography of Buskin, it is arranged mainly, though not entirely, in chronological order ; and includes all the accessible printed utterances of Charles Dickens that have come under my notice ; not merely his larger and smaller separate works, but his scattered and uncollected contributions to journals, magazines, annuals, and keepsakes, his Letters to newspapers and to friends, and his Speeches. No entry has been made at second- hand. I cannot be sure that my enumeration of the uncollected Letters is absolutely complete, and I shall be greatly indebted to any correspondent who will send me supplementary data for that portion }f the work. It should be understood that the letters must have been printed somewhere ; that it s not within the scheme and scope of the present (\ Vlll PREFACE. compilation to include autograph letters, unless deposited in some national Library or Museum. I trust that the little work will prove useful to collectors and students, most of whom, I antici- pate, will find some information in it that is new to them.

Now first printed from a manuscript in the Forster Collection at the South Kensington sy Museum. London: 1879, pp. 45, in wrapper. Only 250 copies privately printed. This farce was withdrawn and never acted. "He wrote a farce by way of helping the Covent Garden manager, which the actors could not agree about, and which he turned afterwards into a story called The Lamplighter. He read the piece at the theatre before the same stage manager to whom he had written to request a very different audience in the same green-room a few years before ; and Dickens could not but fancy that into Mr. Bartley's face, as he listened to the humorous reading, there crept some strange bewildered half-consciousness that in the famous writer he saw again the youthful would-be actor."— Forster's Life of Dickens, vol. i, pp. 12 -1. 12.

The Dedication to Serjeant Talfourd is dated "48, Doughty- street, September 27, 1837." The first two numbers contained each only 24 pages of letter- press, the first contained four and the second three illustrations by Seymour, who died suddenly April 20, 1S36, while the second number was in preparation. The third and succeeding numbers contained each 32 pages of letterpress, with only two illustrations. Those in the third number were originally executed by a Mr. Buss, but his plates were replaced in later issues of the number by two different designs executed by Mr. Hablot Browne ("Phiz"), who illustrated the remainder of this and many subsequent works of Charles Dickens. The original green wrapper had a design by Seymour, representing scenes of fishing and shooting, and groups of sporting implements. Part ii. contained a notice respecting Seymour's death. Part x. an " Address" from the author to his readers, dated "December, 1836," and Part x v. another "Address," dated "186, Strand, June 30, 1837." The first cheap Edition contains a new Preface, dated " London, September, 1847." This Preface was considerably amplified in the " Charles Dickens" edition (Chapman and Hall, 1867, pp. xii. 497). * No number was issued for June, 1837. The fourteenth number bears date "May, 1837" and the fifteenth "July, 1837:" the publication was suspended during that interval through a severe shock which the author received from the death of a younger sister of his wife (Mary Hogarth). 1838.] OF DICKENS. 11 13 Oliver Twist ; or, the Parish Boy's Progress. Commenced in the second number of Bentley's Miscellany, in February, 1837, and concluded in March, 1839. Published in three volumes, fr\ post 8vo, in advance of its completion in the Miscellany, in October, 1838, with twenty-four illustrations by George Cruikshank.* London: Eichard Bentley, New Burlington-street. 1838. A Third Edition was issued with "the Author's Preface to the Third Edition," dated " Devonshire Terrace, April, 1841." 3 vols. 8vo. London : Chapman and Hall. 1841. \^J I* The last of these illustrations —Rose Maylie and Oliver— as it appeared in the early copies, was objected to by the author, and was designed afresh at his request. " The publication had been announced for October," says Mr. Forster, " but the third- volume illustrations intercepted it a little. This part of the story had been written in anticipation of the magazine ; and the designs for it, having to be executed in a lump, were necessarily done somewhat hastily. The matter supplied in advance of the monthly portions in the magazine formed the bulk of the last volume ; and for this the plates had to be prepared by Cruikshank, also in advance of the magazine, to furnish them in time for the separate publication. None of these Dickens had seen until he saw them in the book on the eve of its publication, when he so strongly objected to one of them that it had to be cancelled. ' I returned suddenly to town yesterday afternoon,' he wrote to the artist at the end of October, ' to look at the latter pages of Ol/iver Ttvist before it was delivered to the booksellers, when I saw the majority of the plates in the last volume for the first time. With reference to the last one— Rose Maylie and Oliver— 1 am quite sure there can be little difference of opinion between us with respect to the result. May I ask you whether you will object to designing this plate afresh, and doing so at once, in order that as few impressions as possible of the present one may go forth ?

Seven of the eight stanzas of this squib are quoted by Mr. Forster in the twelfth chapter of Book ii. of his Life of Dickens. Mr. Forster professes to give it entire, and states that it " had no touch of personal satire in it," and that Dickens "would himself, for that reason, have least objected to its revival." The stanza omitted by Mr. Forster is the s>ixth, which runs thus : — " Those were the days for taxes, and for war's infernal din ; For scarcity of bread, that fine old dowagers might win ; For shutting men of letters up, through iron bars to grin, Because they didn't think the Prince was altogether thin, In the fine old English Tory times ; Soon may they come again !" 23 The Quack Doctor's Proclamation.

"He sent me some rhymed squibs as his anonymous contri- bution to the fight the Liberals were then making against what was believed to be intended by the return to office of the Tories.

Two letters to Mr. George Cattermole are wrongly placed :— 1840. The letter dated "Devonshire Terrace, Friday Morning," and printed on pp. 34 35, instead of coming between the two letters of December 21 and 22, 1840, and breaking their obvious sequence and continuity, should precede the former. It belongs presumably to the month of August : it refers at any rate to " the end of September" as yet to come : — " I want to see you about a frontispiece to our first ' Clock' volume, which will come out (I think) at the end of September." This letter should be immediately followed by the one dated "Devonshire Terrace, Thursday, August 13," printed at page 47-48, and wrongly assigned to the year 1841. It belongs to the year 1840, as is evident, first, from the date, " Thursday, August 13," August 13 falling on Thursday in the year 1840, and on Friday in the year 1841 (see previous letter printed on page 46, and dated "Friday, August G, 1841"); and, secondly, from the nature of OF DICKENS. 49 the contents : ' ' Will you turn your attention to a frontispiece for our first volume ? The volume is not published until the end of September." The first volume of Master Humphrey's Clock, to which this refers, was published with a Preface dated " September, 1840." Vide supra, p. 17. 1841. The second paragraph of " Narrative," on page 37, runs as follows: "The letter to Mr. George Cattermole (26th June) refers to a dinner given to Charles Dickens by the people of Edinburgh on his first visit to that city." No letter of this date, or containing any such reference, appears in the book. 1851. In the "Narrative," under this date, page 241, it is stated : " This year he wrote and published The Haunted Man, which he had found himself unable to finish for the previous Christmas. It was the last of the ' Christmas Books.' " In the "Narrative" of 1847 it is stated (page 170): "He decided to let this Christmas pass without a story and postponed the publication of The Haunted Man until the following year." Again in the " Narrative" of 1848, page 185: "The autumn months were again spent at Broadstairs, where he wrote The Haunted Man, which was illustrated by Mr. Frank Stone, Mr. Leech, and others. . . . The letters to Mr. Stone on the subject of his illustrations to The Haunted Man are written from Brighton." The Haunted Man was in fact published Christmas, 1848. 1853. The undated and unsigned letter to Mr. Wills, printed p. 299 as the first of the letters of 1853, was evidently written late in the month of November, 1852. It refers to the arrangements for the forthcoming Christmas number and to " Mrs. Gaskell's ghost story," which "I have got this morning" but "not yet read." There is a note to Mrs. Gaskell accompanying a proof of this story, and dated "Dec. 1, 1852," printed at page 292. 50 THE BIBLIOGRAPHY Memoranda. Narrative 1838, page 7, second paragraph.— " The letter which we give in this year to Mr. Justice Talfourd is, unfor- tunately, the only one we have been able to procure to that friend." Three other letters to Talfourd are printed in Dr. Shelton Mackenzie's Life of Dickens. Letter to Douglas Jerrold, dated " Devonshire Terrace, May 3, 1843." — Page 88, line 9. — "There were men there who made" runs in the original letter — "There were men there — your City aristocracy— who made," &c. " Dismal features " (last words of the same paragraph) reads " dismal flatness " in the version of the letter printed by Mr. Blanchard Jerrold ; but it would require reference to the original autograph to decide which is correct. Letters of C. D. Page 88, last line but one — " when the princess restores' B. J. Version. ; where the Princess restores" There is a final paragraph in the B. J. version, relating to domestic matters, which disappears in the collected Letters. Letter to Douglas Jerrold, dated "Devonshire Terrace," June 13, 1843. Page 90, last line, "I should like to deprive." The opening words of this sentence have slipped out. The B. J. version runs: — " If there were a fine day, I should like to deprive," &c. Page 91, after "public-spirited individual" (line 20) a humo- rous passage about Talfourd and Macready is omitted, as is a second paragraph of postscript alluding to Maclise.

In the letter to Mr. Baylis, p. 179, five lines from bottom, •'she had better attach her fernery." The reading of the auto- graph letter is not " better," but " best." 1868. In the letter to Mr. Edward Bulwer Lytton Dickens, page 403- Line 1, omit "ever." Line 4, for "already" read "always." Line 8, for "and do this" read "and to do it." Six lines from bottom (last word of paragraph), for " men " read "Man." Last line but three, first word, for "wearied" read "harassed."

Why should " Earl Kussell," already so entitled in 1865 (see page 235), figure again in 1869, in the margin, as " The Lord John Russell ?" 1870. The letters to Mrs. Dallas and to Mr. S. L. Tildes, both dated " Jan. 16 " (pp. 434-435), should precede the letter to Mr. W. H. Wills, dated "Jan. 23" (pp. 433-431). Memoranda. In a footnote (editorial) to page 350 it is stated that Mr. H. F. Chorley "was the well-known musical critic, and a dear and intimate friend of Charles Dickens and his family. We have no letters to him, Mr. Chorley having destroyed all his correspon- dence before his death." In the Autobiography, Memoir and Letters of Henry Fothergill Chorley, edited by H. G. Hewlett (Bentley, 1873), vol. ii., pp. 161-166, 229-236, are printed six letters from Charles Dickens to Chorley dated between the years 1860 and 1867. Page 407.

As, however, they were written to a contributor to All the Year Round, about to com- mence a long serial story in that journal, who had another story in progress in the Gentleman's Magazine and another announced in Once a- Week,— complaining of haste and want of care, &c.,— it does not need a witch to solve the riddle.

Charles Dickens. — Printed in The Literary World, March 21 to May 30, 1879. 61 Bibliography of the Writings of Charles Dickens, with many curious and interesting particulars relating to his Works. By James Cook. Paisley : J. & J. Cook, Printers and Publishers, 1879, pp. 80. London, F. Kerslake, 1879, with Appendix, pp. 88, in wrapper. For the more recondite matters which give the chief if not the sole value to a compilation of this kind, the reader will search this bulky brochure in vain. Nor is the record of more commonly known and accessible details anywhere thoroughly reliable either as to accuracy or completeness. And the sins of commission are as great and grievous as the sins of omission. Mr. Cook's un- wieldy pamphlet may be said to resemble a waste ground, with a notice-board attracting the passer's eyes and bearing the legend, " Rubbish shot here." What can it avail a bibliographer of Dickens to know or to tell how this or that piratical dunce or dullard published an imitation or a continuation of the Pickwick Papers, of Oliver Twist, of Nickleby, or of Dombey (pp. 50-51) ; how an obscure would-be artist issued a worthless series of catch- penny ' ' extra illustrations (pp. 17, sqq.) nowso rare as to fetch ten times their original price " from the pockets of collectors " more enviable for superfluity of cash than commendable for sufficiency of understanding ; " how such and such inept or inane Grub- street garretteers attempted to solve the Mystery of Edwin Brood without having first solved the mysteries of English orthography and syntax (p. 51) ; how Mr. So-and-so, the notorious West-end OF DICKENS. 105 bookseller, foisted upon an unwary collector a made-up set of original editions, " elegantly bound by Pratt in his best manner," for five times their published price (pp. 48-49) ; or how Mr. This- or-that, his bibliopolic neighbour, administered a judicious and well-merited snubbing to the compiler by declining to answer an impertinent inquiry as to the names and addresses of private customers who had purchased sumptuously illustrated copies of Mr. Forster's Life of the novelist, and other curiosities (pp. 67, 72-73) ; or what were the titles of, and who were the contributors to, the Christmas numbers and "extra summer numbers" of the New Series of All the Year Hound, under the conduct of Charles Dickens, junior (p. 60). Mr. Cook's pamphlet is also disfigured by a considerable number of errata, which should be corrected in a future edition ; e.g. inter alia : — page 13 (three lines from bottom), for "soubriquet" read "sobriquet." page 21, line 15, for "Lord Cockburn" read "Lord Jef- frey," and for " Thackeray and Cockburn " in the margin, read " Thackeray and Jeffrey." page 26, line 6, for " Carlile " read " Carlyle." page vi. line 5, page 27, lines 6 and 7, page 57 (near the middle), for "A Holiday Komance" read "Holiday Romance." page 28 (four lines from bottom), for "at the" read "on the." page 29, line 28, for " Jan. 1, 1846," read " Jan. 21, 1846." page 30, line 12, for " No. 6 " read " No. 2." page 31, line 9, and page 32, line 12, for "A Fly-leaf in Life " read " A Flyleaf in a Life." page 33, line 4, for "greater actor" read " great actor." page 33, line 15 (and p. vi., eleven lines from bottom), for " Proctor" read " Procter." page 37, line 13, for " began" read " begun." page 39 (nine lines from bottom), for "19 Piccadilly" read " 193 Piccadilly." 106 THE BIBLIOGRAPHY page 47, line 17, for " biblionioniacs " read " bibliomaniacs." page 52, line 21, for "Little Dorrit" read "Little Dom- bey." page 56, line 24, for " Ward, Locke & Tyler," read "Ward, Lock & Tyler." page 57, line 28, for "Explanations" read "Explanation." page 02, line 13, for " 25th Jan." read " 25th June." page 62, line 26, for "1865" read "1868." page 62, line 28, for " fac-similies" read " fac-similes." page 63 (seven lines from bottom), for "Mayal" read " Mayall." page 65, line 6, for " Dicken's" read " Dickens." page 67, line 17, for " Wellford" read " Welford." page 75, line 4, for " January 184S " read " January 1838." page 80, line 19, for " Lowe" read " Low." page 81, lines 31 and 34, for "Lee & Shepherd " read " Lee and Shepard." page 81 (four lines from bottom), for " Idah " read " Adah." page 83, line 9, for " Savonarolo" read " Savonarola." page 85 (seven lines from bottom), for " J. Webster " read " T.
