E. S. CHAMBERS EDINBURGH WITH A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE WORKS OF WILLIAM AND ROBERT CHAMBERS ^tih&ttls ^viattn EDINBURGH 1898 t-:T NOTE. I HAVE endeavoured in the following pages to give an idea of the class of works in which I am most interested, and to the peculiaidties. of which I have paid special attention. It has now become very difficult to obtain fiae copies of the large series of illtistrated' books published' between 1835, and 1870,, and comprising^ the. wocks of Dickens, Thackeray, Alberti^ Smith, A'Becfcett, Maxwell, Lever, and Ainsworth. That the demand for these is steadily on the increase is owing, in great measure both to a change of taste ini this country and to unlimited buy^ng-orders from American collectors. Just now, the fashion extends to first editions of Tennyson, Browning, George Eliot, and other authors, many of whose works were originally issued without illus- trations. The historical writings of John Heneage Jesse, Miss Pardoe, Miss Freer, together with modem editions 01 Horace Walpole's works, are also much in demand by collectors. Mr Chambers is anxious to complete the following works {uncut) : Life in London, illustrated by Cruikshank, 1821. Life of Sir John Falstaff, 1858, parts 8, 10. Fanny, the Little Milliner, parts 11, 12. Fortunes of Torlough O'Brien, parts 10, II, 12. Tom Racket, parts 2, 3, 4, 5. Christopher Tadpole, parts 12, 15.
