DICKENS, Charles]. Oliver Twist; or, the Parish Boy's Progress. By "Boz". London: Richard Bentley 1838.
DICKENS, Charles]. Oliver Twist; or, the Parish Boy's Progress. By "Boz". London: Richard Bentley 1838. 3 volumes, 12 o (189 x 119 mm). Half-titles, bound without the publisher's advertisements. Etched frontispiece in each volume and 21 plates after George Cruikshank (some pale spotting to six plates). Contemporary salmon half calf, marbled boards (spines darkened); cloth slipcase. Provenance : Henry Theophilus Clements (1820-ca 1890), High Sheriff of Cavan (bookplate). FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, OF THE FIRST ENGLISH NOVEL TO FEATURE A YOUNG CHILD AS PROTAGONIST, with the "Fireside" plate at p. 312 in volume 3 and authorship ascribed to "Boz" on each title-page. Begun as a serial in Bentley's Miscellany in February 1837 but published in three volumes (as here) before its completion in the magazine in March 1839. The decision to publish in book form caused Cruikshank to complete his illustrations in some haste. Dickens did not have time to review them until the eve of publication and he objected to the "Fireside" plate which depicted Oliver at Rose Maylie's knee with Harry and old Mrs. Maylie all gathered around the living-room fire. Cruikshank's revised illustration had the same title ("Rose Maylie and Oliver") but showed Rose and Oliver standing before Oliver's mother's church memorial. This later plate was used to illustrate Oliver Twist as it appeared in Bentley's Miscellany and later issues of the book. Carter, p. 107; Eckel, p. 59-60; Sadleir 696; Smith I: 4.
