The First Edition of Dickens’s A Christmas Carol appeared in 1843. This reissue is not a facsimile in the sense that it copies the setting of the original text pages,but an attempt has been made to retain the style of 1843 by the choice of the most suitable typeface and by accurately reproducing John Leech’s original illustrations. The binding also is a close interpretation of that of the first edition.
