written when Pickwick was advanced in monthly pbn and
Oliver Twist begun.

Editions
There are innumerable variants in the earliest copies, and the exact bibliographical
details are still undecided, owing to (i) inequality of demand for
each pt in the early stages, and consequent use of material in various states of
production; (ii) textual and pictorial changes made in the course of serial
issue, though the main body was unaltered; (iii) insertion in bound-up copies
of discarded or extra plates; (iv) the binding-up or improvisation of ‘perfect’
copies out of different-state but genuine monthly pts. See Eckel 1932 under
Bibliographies and reference works, above.
