DICKENS, Charles. The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club . London: Chapman and Hall, 1837. 8 o (208 x 127 mm). Half-title. 43 engraved plates (including engraved title) by R. Seymour, R.W. Buss, and Hablot K. Browne ["Phiz"] (some discoloration as often, some plates closely trimmed along fore-edge). Modern red morocco, edges gilt, by Zaehnsdorf. FIRST EDITION. Text with the first issue points: textually nearly perfect with all points listed in Hatton & Cleaver and Miller & Strange except: p. 10, last line, no mark between "r" and "u" in "rum"; p. 17, last "e" appears unbroken; p. 303, second "3" present.
