Sobre este artículo
London: Bradbury & Evans, 1846. First edition. Fine. Vignette title in the fourth state (Smith II.8). Small 8vo: [viii], 175, [1], [2]; complete. Tipped onto the advertisement leaf is a smaller leaf advertising "Monsieur Vlieland's Works," not described in Smith. A lovely, Fine copy with some contemporary ownership markings at the front end papers, otherwise an excellent copy both inside and out.
Dickens' fourth Christmas book and one of the lesser known books from the series. The Battle of Life centers on two sisters, Grace and Marion, who must contend with shared romantic attachments. After Marion disappears with a presumed libertine, Michael Warden, the family struggles to make sense of her sudden departure. But in standard Dickensian fashion, the plot twists get resolved and happiness prevails for everyone. Fine.

Sinopsis
Once upon a time, it matters little when, and in stalwart England, it matters little where, a fierce battle was fought. It was fought upon a long summer day when the waving grass was green. Many a wild flower formed by the Almighty Hand to be a perfumed goblet for the dew, felt its enamelled cup filled high with blood that day, and shrinking dropped. Many an insect deriving its delicate colour from harmless leaves and herbs, was stained anew that day by dying men, and marked its frightened way with an unnatural track.
