London: Charles Tilt, 1839. 16mo, publisher's deep blue-green flexible cloth with gilt illustration to upper cover, modern linen-backed solander box. First edition, with 11 engraved plates by George Cruikshank and music leaf. Thackeray's involvement in the publication has been a topic of much interest, but letters written by Dickens to Cruikshank concerning Lord Bateman appear to prove that he had no involvement in the publication or the design of the engravings. [Colophon, no. 1, 1939] First few leaves detached and others starting, with some loss to edges of pages.
