[DICKENS, CHARLES]. The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby. London: Chapman and Hall, MDCCCXXXIX. [1839].

First edition in book form, early issue. In two volumes; leather-bound; hardcover; octavo (22cm x 14cm); pp. xvi, 320; [2], 321-624. English text; handsomely bound in contemporary half calf gilt; marbled boards; engraved portrait of Dickens after Daniel Maclise and 39 engraved plates by H.K. Browne [Phiz]. Printed by Bradbury and Evans. Condition: GOOD to VERY GOOD. Collated complete, binding tight and secure with the joints and hinges intact, light rubbing to extremities, interior with light foxing and toning mostly to the plates, couple of minor corner creases, without previous ownership markings.

Notes: Contains all but one of the following first issues points: page 18 illustration marked 'Chapman & Hall', 'flys' for 'flies' p. 245 line 10; 'visiters' for 'visitors' p. 272 line 2; 'incontestible' for 'incontestable' p.297 line 22; 'suprise' for 'surprise' p. 586 line 24, and 'latter' has not been corrected to 'letter' on page 160 line 6 from the bottom. This is a mixed state because 'visitor' has been corrected to 'sister' on page 123 line 17. Nicholas Nickleby was Dickens third novel and was issued in monthly instalments between March 1838 and October 1839, before it was published as this single volume. An instant success, it both solidified Dickens as a social critic and marked his first of many romances. A handsome copy. [Smith 5, Podeschi A41 and Eckel pp 64-5].
