DICKENS
The first collective edition of Dickens' works was issued in
1847. The standard edition is that of Chapman & Hall, London,
who were the original publishers of _Pickwick_. One of the
best of the many editions of Dickens is the Macmillan Pocket
edition with reproductions of the original covers of the
monthly parts of the novels as they appeared, the original
illustrations by Cruikshank, Leech, "Phiz" (Hablot Browne) and
others, and valuable and interesting introductions by Charles
Dickens the younger. Another good edition is in the World's
Classics, with brilliant introductions by G.K. Chesterton. In
buying an edition of Dickens it is well to get one with
reproductions of the original illustrations, as these add much
to the pleasure and interest of the novels.
