DICKENS, Charles (1812-1870). A Tale of Two Cities (in All The Year Round – A Weekly Journal). London: All The Year Round and Messrs. Chapman and Hall, 1859. 8vo. Bound in volume I, April 30 – October 22, 1859, and a portion of volume II, October 29 – November 26, 1859 (the uniform title-page calls for October 29, 1859 to April 7, 1860). Bound in one volume. Bound with the Extra Christmas Number for 1859 at the end. Text of A Tale of Two Cities is complete, but the text of The Woman in White (by Wilkie Collins, the other major novel in this collection) is not complete. Both volumes have uniform title-pages and Contents pages. Bound to style in modern half red morocco over marbled boards, spine tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, five raised bands, plain endleaves (occasional thumbsoiling, creasing in text). Fine. THE TRUE FIRST APPEARANCE IN PRINT OF A TALE OF TWO CITIES.
