This volume was (like others) expressly printed for Dickens's 'Reading' purposes; but though intended for four, it was sometimes reduced when read, to three chapters. The Excisions are, notwithstanding, numerous; but there is a good deal in Dickens's own autograph, for besides interpolations and marginal notes, the termination of Nickleby's first day at Dotheboys Hall occupies twenty-five consecutive lines, and Chapter III is introduced by eighteen lines of condensed matter, all in the author's handwriting.
With annotations by Dickens . A Yorkshire School. Red leather, half morocco, gilt lettering. Privately printed reading copy with notes by CD. Gad's Hill bookplate. "Short Time" stamped on spine.
