Written Expressely for His Children and Never to be Published - His Family Did Publish This Book - It Was His Last Work Ever To Be Published. Published by Simon and Schuster, New York: 1934. First edition of his last book he ever published. Written Expressly for His Children and Never to be Published. His Family Did Publish This Book & It Was the Last Work of Charles Dickens Ever To Be Published Lady Dickens is reported to have said about this publication: This book, the last work of Charles Dickens to be published, has an individual interest and purpose that separate it completely from everything else that Dickens wrote. Quite apart from its Divine Subject, the manuscript is peculiarly personal to the novelist, and is not so much a revelation of his mind as a tribute to his heart and humanity, and also, of course, his deep devotion to Our Lord. It was written in 1849, twenty-one years before his death, expressly for his children. The simple manuscript is entirely handwritten and is in no sense a fair copy but a spontaneous draft. In order to preserve its personality, the manuscript has been followed faithfully in every detail. This accounts for the varying use of capital letters, and other peculiarities. Charles Dickens frequently told his children the Gospel Story, and made mention of the Divine Example in his letters to them. This Life of Our Lord was written without thought of publication, in order that his family might have a permanent record of their fathers thoughts. After his death, this manuscript remained in the possession of his sister-in law, Miss Georgina Hogarth. On her death in 1917 it came into the possession of Sir Henry Fielding Dickens. Charles Dickens had made it clear that he had written 'The Life of Our Lord' in a form which he thought best suited to his children, and not for publication. His son, Sir Henry, was averse to publishing the work in his own lifetime, but saw no reason why publication should be withheld after his death. Sir Henrys Will provided that, if the majority of his family were in favour of publication, 'The Life of Our Lord' should be given to the world. It was first published, in serial form, in March 1934. - Marie Dickens - April 1934 - octavo. Bound in original green cloth. Gilt letters of Dickens’s signature on front cover, spine stamped in gilt.
