Complete collection of 20 monthly parts of "Master Humphrey's Clock" by Charles Dickens. London: Chapman and Hall, 1840-41. So popular was this series by Dickens, that New York readers are said to have stormed the wharf when the last installment arrived. With all 20 parts present, each bound in pale green wrappers with titling to front cover and the author noted as "Boz", Dickens' pseudonym. Each magazine part measures 7" x 10.5". Replacement rear wrapper to part 20, and lacking rare advertisement "Tyas Popular Illustrated Publications" in Part 1. Overall in very good condition. Housed in custom clamshell wrapper and slipcase. From the David Niven collection.
