London: George Routledge & Sons, 1870. DICKENS, Charles. First edition in book form of the first Dickens biography. Octavo. Original buff printed wrappers. Light edgewear. Otherwise, a very good copy of a scarce and fragile item.
The journalist Sala had been on the staff of the "Daily Telegraph" since 1857; he had in fact been that publication's special correspondent to the American Civil War. He wrote an essay on Dickens for the "Daily Telegraph" issue on June 10, 1870.--The day after Dickens died. He was then encouraged to amend it for book publication, which he did ("amplified to four times its original length," according to it's preface). This book version is believed to have been published by July. (The rear cover ad, appropiately, is one for mourning clothes).
Gimbel. Hatton and Cleaver,. Smith, Dickens,.
