Contemporary brick-red cloth, gilt-lettered spines. 7 7/8 x 4 5/8 inches (19.8 x 11.8 cm); 331, [4]; [iv], 307; [ii], 315 pp.; frontispiece in each volume, 21 plates, half-titles, publisher's advertisements.

Dickens was unhappy with the scene Cruikshank chose to illustrate for the final plate in volume III (the so-called "fireside" plate), feeling it didn't bring the narrative-pictorial sequence to a satisfying conclusion, and in later issues it was replaced with the so-called "church" scene, showing Oliver with his aunt Rose Maylie (as here).
