Book Description
Excerpt from Hints to Collectors of Original Editions of the Works of William Makepeace Thackeray, Vol. 4 This brings me to my subject, and to my object in writing and issuing these Hints to collectors of Thackeray's works. It is needless for me to enlarge upon Thackeray's merits. They are likely to be, more or less fully, recognized by everyone who reads these pages, and I will merely state my opinion that the modern Englishman, of average intelligence and educa tion, cannot do better than spend a little time and money in collecting the works of such a master of his native language, of so deep a thinker, if so sincere and noble a teacher as was William Makepeace Thackeray This being granted, it follows that all who can afford it should collect Thackeray's works, in their first editions. Why? I have heard people ask. The answer is, that as, to a cultured taste, a rough sketch by an artist is preferable to a reproduction, however elaborate and highly finished a painter's etching to a laborious line engraving; a proof of an etching or engraving to a print, - anything, in fact, tinged with originality to anything lacking it; so is the first edition of a work, in the form in which the author first issued it, preferable to the most elaborate and magnificent after-issue, while, of course, in the case of an illustrated book, the early impressions from a plate are better than the later impressions.
