[SC: 11.71], [PU: New York: J. Winchester; Wilson & Company, 1842], BOOKS LITERATURE PRE-1900 NOISBN, Both the first and second US editions, the former achieving this status by beating the latter's publication time by two hours. Both copies are from the collection of Dickens's bibliographer Walter Smith, and are photographed in his bibliography (pp. 12 & 16). The work was first published in the UK on 19 October 1842. Both of these editions call themselves the "First American Edition". The J. Winchester edition was confirmed as the true first in 1975 in an article by Peter Bracher (Bibliographical Society of America, vol. 69, pp. 365-376) and this was re-affirmed by Walter Smith. The J. Winchester edition was published at 2 PM on 7 November 1842, the "Brother Jonathan Edition" of Wilson & Company was published at 4 PM. The next day, Harper published another edition, and the day following that, Lea & Blanchard published an edition. All four publishers raced to press with the arrival of the first copies of the UK edition by boat. J. Winchester published a second impression soon after - the first impression as here has "number 32,23" printed incorrectly in the heading. Wilson & Company also printed a second impression, most readily distinguished by the rear wrapper illustration "Riots in Ireland" - this is an example of the second impression. American Notes detailed Dickens's thoughts on America following his 1842 visit, and proved his most controversial book. Although complimentary of the United States in many ways, Dickens antagonized much of his American readership by his criticisms of the penal system and the entire system of slavery. However, perhaps his most strident attack targets the lack of copyright and subsequent pirating of English works. The fact that four publishers produced four piracies of the work in three days aptly proved his point. Smith, Charles Dickens: A Bibliography of His First American Editions: The Christmas Books and Secondary Works, pp. 11-17. 2 copies, folio. Original wrappers. Housed together in custom blue quarter morocco box. Recent bookplate of collector Peter Russell mounted to inside cover of box, first edition with contemporary ownership signature at head, second edition with contemporary bookseller's stamp to front wrapper. Wrappers worn, a little soiled, still very good copies of these fragile publications.<

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1842. 8vo. 92 pages, plus [4] pages terminal ads. Text in two columns. Original printed wraps. 24 x 15 cm. Chip to dedication/contents leaf with loss of two words in table of contents ("System" in "Lowell and its Factory System" and the word "to" on another line), else fair only. Both wraps detached, creased, and marginally chipped with no loss of text. Early gift inscription at head of front wrap. Several leaves with corner creases. Moderate foxing and small, light dampstain throughout. Third American edition, published just one day after the first. The two preceding American editions were published as extras by New York newspapers ("The New World" and "Brother Jonathan"). Dickens' account of his highly-publicized travels in America during the first half of 1842. He toured the northeastern states and went by steamer down the Ohio and Mississippi as far as St. Louis and through the Great Lakes. His experience of the South was largely confined to his brief visit to Richmond and the vicinity. "Dickens praised many of America's public institutions but condemned the national worship of 'smartness' (that is, sharp practice), and attacked particularly the hypocrisy and venality of the American press. He also commented unfavourably on many aspects of American social life, notably the widespread habit of spitting in public, and, predictably, denounced slavery at some length." --Michael Slater in Oxford DNB.
