Description: [DICKENS, CHARLES]. A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas. Leipzig: Bernhard Tauchnitz, 1843 [i.e. ca. 1868]. Reprinted continental edition. Leather-bound; hardcover contained in modern portfolio folding-box; small slim octavo (16cm x 12cm x 1cm); pp. [4], 78. English text; bound in contemporary leather backed marbled paper-covered boards. Condition: GOOD. Binding tight and secure with the joints and hinges intact, covers a little rubbed, interior with some toning and light scattered foxing, bound without frontispiece; portfolio box very well-preserved. Scarce.Notes: 'A Christmas Carol' was originally published by Tauchnitz in December 1843, more or less simultaneously with the UK edition, but as an additional volume outside the main series. It is assigned the number A1 in the Todd & Bowden bibliography. The first printing shows the publisher as 'Bernh. Tauchnitz Jun.'. This copy which shows 'Bernhard Tauchnitz' is a slightly later reprint. It is from the second setting, setting B as identified by Todd & Bowden, which means it was released no earlier than 1868.
