 Cruikshank, FINE IMPRESSIONS, in the original green cloth, CONTAINING A HUMOROUS 

 DESIGN BY CRUIKSHANK IN GOLD ON THE FRONT COVER, NOT REPEATED IN THE 

 BOOK, 8 8s 



THE RARE FIRST ISSUE WITH ALL THE POINTS. Very difficult to meet with owing to its crossing 

 the paths of those who collect Dickens, Thackeray and Cruikshank. The Notes and Preface 

 were by Dickens. The Ballad itself is believed to have been written by Thackeray, as a MS. 

 copy in his autograph, with corrections, was found among his papers after death. The cover is 

 an important feature in this book as the design on it really makes a 12th plate completing the 

 series.

SET OF TITLE AND 3 1 PLATES BY T. ONWHYN, GENUINE ORIGINAL IMPRESSIONS, 



published by E. Grattan, 1837, polished calf 'extra, top edges gilt, & 8s 



A remarkably interesting copy being one of the few bound from the first impression of the original 

 numbers containing the 4 plates by R. Seymour in the genuine first state, not as afterwards re- 

 drawn by Phiz ONE OF THE RAREST POINTS OF A FIRST PlCKWICK AND MOST DIFFICULT TO 

 COME ACROSS. The 2 Buss plates are also the right impressions, the engraved title has the 

 spelling " Veller " and almost all the Phi/ plates are in the earliest known state, while the 

 textual variations agree in every respect with the particulars given by Mr. J. C. Ekel in his 

 exhaustive treatise on the subject. THE ADDITION OF THE SET OF THE VERY SCARCE ORIGINAL 



EXTRA ILLUSTRATIONS BY T. ONWHYN ADDS GREATLY TO THE VALUE OF THE COPY.
