CHARLES DICKENS.
Reading edition
By Charles Plumptre Johnson.
“Enthusiastic admirers of Dickens are greatly beholden to Mr. C. P. Johnson for his useful and interesting ‘Hints to Collectors of Original Editions of the Works of Charles Dickens’ (Redway). The book is a companion to the similar guide to collectors of Thackeray’s first editions, is compiled with the like care, and produced with the like finish and taste.”—Saturday Review.
“This is a sister volume to the ‘Hints to Collectors of First Editions of Thackeray,’ which we noticed a month or two ago. The works of Dickens, with a few notable ‘Dickensiana,’ make up fifty-eight numbers, ... and Mr. Johnson has further augmented the present volume with a list of thirty-six plays founded on Dickens’s works, and another list of twenty-three published portraits of Dickens. As we are unable to detect any slips in his work, we must content ourselves with thanking him for the correctness of his annotations. It is unnecessary to repeat our praise of the elegant format of these books.”—Academy.
