Description
Master Humphrey’s Clock was begun as a weekly miscellany, but sales fell so much Dickens began the serialization of The Old Curiosity Shop in the fourth number. It was followed by Barnaby Rudge. In addition to weekly and monthly numbers, the final work was published in three volumes and the two novels in separate volumes (but retaining their original pagination). Read online at archive.org: Volume 1, and Volume 2, and Volume 3.
