Author: DICKENS, Charles
Title: All the Year Round. A Weekly Journal / New Series [One Lot of Ten Volumes, Bound Two to a Book for the Years 1873 to 1877]
Description: London, The Author & Chapman & Hall, 1877. 1st edition. Hardcover. Royal 8vo. Nicely bound in contemporary 3/4 leather over 'pebbled' cloth. Each of the books shows some wear, scuffing, and light soiling to the leather and cloth. However, the hinges and joints are tight, and the contents are generally quite clean and unmarked throughout. The cloth on the rear board of the volume for 1877 is partially peeled away from the board. It also appears that some paper stuck to the top left joint of the rear board of the 1874 volume. This has not affected the integrity of the joint and is a minor cosmetic blemish. The other volumes are free of such defects. Overall, a good, sturdy, set, sold as one lot. Due to the size and weight of this collection it might be wise to enquire, first, as to costs, and options, to ship. 'All the Year Round' was a British weekly literary magazine founded, owned and edited by Charles Dickens and, after the author's death in June, 1870, owned and edited by his son Charles Dickens (Jr.). It continued publishing until 1895. Many famous novels were serialized in its pages, including Dicken's 'A Tale of Two Cities' and 'Great Expectations', and 'The Woman in White' and 'The Moonstone' by Wilkie Collins. Our offering is one lot of ten volumes (five books) of 'The New Series' of this periodical, commencing with volume IX, from November 16, 1872 to April 26, 1873 (No. 207 to 230) and concluding with volume XVIII, from March 3, 1877 to August 4, 1877 (no. 431 to 453) and the 'Extra Summer Number' of July 2, 1877; a total of five uniformly bound volumes. .
