Sketches by Boz
Sketches by ‘Boz’ illustrative of every-day life and every-day
people. Illustr George Cruikshank 2 vols 1836; second ser 1836.
The ptd title page of ser 2 is dated 1837, the engraved 1836. It was
actually pbd on 17 Dec 1836 (the preface being dated the same
day). There are variants in both ser. The Sketches appeared originally
at intervals in Monthly Mag, Bell’s Weekly Mag, Morning
Chron, Evening Chron, Bell’s Life in London (signed ‘Tibbs’),
Lib of Fiction and Carlton Chron. For detailed list, see Appendix
F, Letters of Dickens, ed M. House and G. Storey, vol 1, Oxford
1965. The earliest – Dickens’s first appearance in print as an
author – was A dinner at Poplar Walk (called Mr Minns and his
cousin in ser 2) in Monthly Mag Dec 1833. Many items were substantially
rev before republication: see J. Butt and K. Tillotson,
Dickens at work, 1957, ch 2. After the first edn Dickens persuaded
Chapman & Hall to purchase the copyright of both ser
from John Macrone.
