Early, if not first appearance of Charles Dodgson's pseudonym

Dickens, Charles

Little Dorrit

London: Bradbury & Evan, Bouverie Street, 1855-57. First edition in the original 20 parts in 19, 8vo, pp. xiv, 625; engraved frontispiece, engraved title-p., and 38 steel-engraved plates (including the "dark" plates) by Hablot K. Browne ("Phiz"); includes all advertising matter and inserts per Hatton & Cleaver; some spines neatly repaired; enclosed in a folding green cloth box lettered in gilt. In the fourth number for March 1856 is a curious anomaly. In the advertisement for the first three issues of The Train at the back of that number is what is likely the first appearance of Charles Dodgson's famous pseudonym, "Lewis Carroll." Item #66642
