STOWE, Harriet Beecher (1811-1896). Uncle Tom's Cabin . London: John Cassell, 1852.
STOWE, Harriet Beecher (1811-1896). Uncle Tom's Cabin . London: John Cassell, 1852. 13 parts, 8 o (201 x 131 mm). Title with woodcut vignette, woodcut frontispiece, 27 woodcut plates by George Cruikshank (Lacking ads in part 6, soiled.) Original printed wrappers (some chipping, creasing and staining); quarter morocco slipcase. FIRST ENGLISH EDITION. Cohn notes that the publisher's wrappers are "of very poor quality, and hence difficult to get in a good state." The English publishing history of Stowe's landmark work is murky at best. BAL records an edition published by Clarke and Co., presumably published in late April or early May 1852, which is often called the first English edition, but notes that "it may not be the first English edition, however, since Clarke's earliest advertisements and listings indicate that their original edition had only 300 pp." (the copy received by the British Library contained 329 pages). However, PMM explains that, "beside the authorized edition published by Thomas Bosworth more than twenty pirated London editions appeared in 1852, one of them, issued in thirteen weekly parts, with illustrations by George Cruikshank " BAL 19518; Cohn 777; PMM 332.
