DICKENS (C.) Sunday under Three Heads-As it is, As Sabbath Bills would make it, As it might be made, with illustrations, 12mo, in the original wrapper, £9 9s-1836

Speaking of the great rarity of some of Charles Dickens' early pieces, especially the "Village Coquettes" and "The Strange Gentleman," a writer in Temble Bar of August, 1881, says: "Both however are eclipsed by a little pamphlet, entitled 'Sunday under Three Heads,' by Timothy Sparks, one of the least voluminous but unquestionably the scarcest of its author's productions. No missing will, no philsopher's stone, was ever sought for more perseveringly, and, we might add, more unsuccessfully."
