About This Item
Dickens, Charles. COUNT LUDWIG AND OTHER ROMANCES... NOW FIRST COLLECTED INTO A SINGLE VOLUME. New York: Published by Henry G. Daggard, 1845. First edition. Original terra cotta printed wrappers, uncut. Some chipping at spine and faint stains in text, but an attractive copy of a very scarce collection of stories including Dickens' `The Lamplighter's Story' and `Public Life of Mr. Tulrumble, Once Mayor of Mudfog' and stories by Thomas Moore, Douglas Jerrold, and W. H. Ainsworth. There was no English edition of this collection. OCLC locates only five copies (bindings unknown). This crudely printed pamphlet has more the appearance of a sloppy proof: quads and spacers have worked up between words on several pages (including the title-page!) and the running title on one page has been crudely cut-cancelled. This copy has the "1" missing from the date on the title-page, as noted by McCutcheon. Not in Podeschi, Carr, or Wilkins, nor in the McGuire collection. McCutcheon 79. Edgar & Vail, p. 23.
