SALE INFORMATION
I
was given these books when I was 14 in 1970.
I
have two sets of books for sale and the first diplayed here on
this website page is FIRST EDITION 1850 THREE VOLUMES of DAVID
COPPERFIELD by CHARLES DICKENS
I
am looking to sell a rare three volume set of David Copperfield
by Charles Dickens. From my research I note that the first edition
was printed in the UK in 1850. My edition pre-dates this and the
two volumes were printed by Bernhard Tauchnitz, Leipzig in 1849.
Three
volumes entitled David Copperfield by Charles Dickens.

I do not find it easy to get sufficiently far away
from this Book, in the first sensations of having finished it,
to refer to it with the composure which this formal heading would
seem to require. My interest in it, is so recent and strong; and
my mind is so divided between pelasure and regret - pleasure in
the achievement of a long desigh: regret in the separation from
many compnions - that I am in danger of wearying the reader whom
I love, with personal confidences, and private emotions.
Besides which, all that I could say of the Story,
to any purpose, I have endeavoured to say in it.
It would concern the reader little, perhaps, to
know, how sorrowfully the pen is laid down at the close of a two-years'
imaginative task; or how an Author feels as if he were dismissing
some portion of himself into the shadowy world, when a crowd of
the creatures of his brain are going from him for ever. Yet, I
have nothing else to tell, unless, indeed, I were to confess (which
might be of less moment still) that no one can ever lieve this
Narrative, in the reading, more than I have believed in the writing.
Instead of looking back, therefore, I will look
forward. I cannot close these Volumes more agreeably to myself,
than with a hopeful glance towards the time when I shall again
put forth my two green leaves* once a month, and with a faithful
remembrance of the genial sun and showeres that have fallen on
these leaves of David Copperfield, and made me happy.
London, October, 1850.

in green wrappers.
