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._
