To the thorough-going enthusiast -Phiz and Dickens seem inseparable, and no edition which does not contain -the old, familiar grotesques of Hablot Browne's imagination, or, in the -earlier volume, the equally abnormal lineaments portrayed by Cruikshank -or Seymour, would be deemed worthy of a place upon his bookshelf. But a -younger generation is growing up, for whom the time-honoured pictures -have not the charm of long association, and among them it is common to -hear the complaint that the natural humour and pathos of the author's -best works are spoiled to modern fancy by the violent caricatures of the -illustrator. "Let us abolish these pictures altogether," they say: "and -illustrate the books with pretty conventionalities by more fashionable -artists." At the opposite pole stands yet another group of critics--the -"Superior People" who have made up their minds that Dickens himself was -a caricaturist, and that therefore the early illustrations, even if they -do a little emphasise his exaggerations, are only conceived in fitting -harmony with a world of fancy which drowns itself in excesses of the -grotesque. Among so many doctors, and all so emphatic, who shall decide? -It is, at any rate, no easy task. - -It happens, however, that there does exist a series of Dickens -illustrations, now in some danger of being unduly neglected, in which -the artists were wonderfully happy in preserving the original features -of Phiz and Cruikshank's interpretations, while they toned down the more -extravagant details and brought imagination into closer harmony with -reality. These were the illustrations to the square-shaped "Household -Edition," published in 1870, just after the great novelist's death--and -now reissued in this Dickens picture-book, in the hope that those who -love the stories may like to possess in separate form what is, perhaps, -the best pictorial accompaniment that the novels ever received. At the -time of its first publication, the "Household Edition" enjoyed an -enormous success. At the moment the name of Dickens was on every one's -lips, and the fact that this splendidly illustrated reprint was issued -in penny numbers and sixpenny parts placed it within reach of even the -most humbly stocked purse. Its sale was stupendous, and the familiar -green-covered pamphlets percolated through every town and village where -the English tongue is spoken. The original copies may still be met with, -under many a country timbered roof, carefully treasured as one of the -most cherished household possessions. - -Undoubtedly, a great part of the success was due to the art of the -illustrators. To begin with, there was an unusually liberal display of -pictures--the edition, as a whole, containing close upon nine hundred. -But more important than the number were the truth and sincerity of the -interpretations--qualities which helped to give a new life to characters -already secure of immortality. First and foremost, of course, the -edition will always be associated with the memory of Fred Barnard, whose -pictures are the outstanding feature of the present volume. Barnard -seemed destined by nature to illustrate Dickens; the spirit of "Boz" ran -again in his veins. And nothing in his work is more impressively -ingenious than the skill with which he took the types already created by -his predecessors, preserved their characteristics, so that each was -unmistakably himself, and yet by the illuminating touch of genius -transferred them every one from the realm of caricature to that of -portraiture. Not far inferior to him was that admirable draughtsman, -Charles Green, who exactly adopted Barnard's attitude to the originals. -The reader who will compare Green's illustrations to "The Old Curiosity -Shop" with Phiz's, will scarcely fail to notice with interest how often -Green has chosen the same subject as his predecessor, and all but -treated it in the same manner, save that a twisted grotesque suddenly -becomes, under the magic of his wand, a natural human being. His picture -of Sally Brass and the Marchioness is a remarkable instance in point: -but there are many others equally eloquent of his sympathetic and -interpretative method. Nor should the work of Mahony, A. B. Frost, -Gordon Thomson and others be forgotten, for each in his own way has -helped to make this volume, what its publishers confidently claim it to -be, a collection of Dickens pictures unrivalled for humour, pathos, -character, and interpretative skill. In the certainty that such a -gallery of good work can hardly fail to find appreciators, the volume is -now offered to all lovers of the most widely popular author of the -Victorian Era. - - - - - -SKETCHES BY BOZ - -ILLUSTRATIVE OF EVERY-DAY LIFE AND EVERY-DAY PEOPLE. - -[Illustration] - -THIRTY-FOUR ILLUSTRATIONS - -BY FRED BARNARD - -[Illustration: THE HALF-PAY CAPTAIN COMPLETELY EFFACED THE OLD LADY'S -NAME FROM THE BRASS DOOR-PLATE IN HIS ATTEMPTS TO POLISH IT WITH -AQUA-FORTIS--_Our Parish_, chap. ii.] - -[Illustration: "WHY THE DEVIL AIN'T YOU LOOKING AFTER THAT PLATE?"--_Our -Parish_, chap. v.] - -[Illustration: WHEN HE FIRST CAME TO LOOK AT THE LODGINGS, HE INQUIRED -MOST PARTICULARLY WHETHER HE WAS SURE TO BE ABLE TO GET A SEAT IN THE -PARISH CHURCH--_Our Parish_, chap. vii.] - -[Illustration: "IT IS NEARLY ELEVEN O'CLOCK, AND THE COLD THIN RAIN, -WHICH HAS BEEN DRIZZLING SO LONG, IS BEGINNING TO POUR DOWN IN GOOD -EARNEST"--_Scenes_, chap. ii.] - -[Illustration: THE GRAVESEND BOAT.--_Scenes_, chap. x.] - -[Illustration: DIFFERENT WOMEN OF THE HOUSE GOSSIPING ON THE STEPS ... -THE NATIVE DIALLERS--_Scenes_, chap. v.] - -[Illustration: IT WAS A WEDDING PARTY AND SKETCHED FROM ONE OF THE -INTERIOR STREETS NEAR FITZROY SQUARE--_Scenes_, chap. vii.] - -[Illustration: THE GENTLEMAN DESCRIBED LOOKS EXTREMELY FOOLISH, AND -SQUEEZES HER HAND, AND FEES THE GIPSY LIBERALLY--_Scenes_, chap. xii.] - -[Illustration: "I MAY AS WELL GET BOARD, LODGIN', AND WASHIN' TILL THEN, -OUT OF THE COUNTRY, AS PAY FOR IT MYSELF; CONSEQUENTLY HERE -GOES"--_Scenes_, chap. xvii.] - -[Illustration: "HIS LINE IS GENTEEL COMEDY--HIS FATHER'S COAL AND -POTATO.
