Author: Dickens, Charles
Title: Master Humphrey's Clock.
Description: Chapman and Hall, 1840. First Edition. Half-Leather, Ill.: George Cattermole and Hablot Browne. Three volumes of the weekly parts bound in one volume, brown boards with worn half leather spine and corners and leather label. The wrappers have been removed on binding, with only a fragment of one at the beginning of of Volume III. Vol I lacks prelims and p1 to 26. Pp25 to 306 are present, (starting with Master Humphrey from his Clock Side in the Chimney Corner My old companion tells me it is midnight.) It includes The Old Curiosity Shop. Vol II is complete with frontispiece and title page dated 1841 and pp vi to 306. Vol III has no title page as it begins with Chapter 13 of Barnaby Rudge and pp 1-312, but this volume is not complete, finishing with the end of Chapter 64 of Barnaby Rudge, the two final pages being repaired with tape. A few grubby marks to the margins, but generally very good. The first appearance in print of The Old Curiosity Shop. Incomplete, but the weekly part issue is very rare... Fair.
