The story is often told of how Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson came to adopt the
pseudonym of Lewis Carroll which would be suitable to repeat here. The disappointed staff
of
'The Comic Times' whose editor was Edmund Yates had reformed themselves to a monthly
publication called 'The Train' which made its debut in January, 1856. Dodgson thought that
the
opening number "only average in talent, and an intense imitation of Dickens throughout", but
he
was soon offering Yates contributions. The first of several pieces were submitted under the
mysterious initials "B.B.", but this form of signature did not please Yates who asked him to
choose a nom de plume. The young author first suggested "Dares" (the first syllable of his
birthplace, Daresbury) to Yates, "but, as this did not meet with his approval, he wrote again,
giving a choice of four names: (1) Edgar Cuthwellis, (2) Edgar U. C. Westhall, (3) Louis
Carroll,
and (4) Lewis Carroll. The first two were formed from the letters of his two Christian names,
Charles Lutwidge; the others are merely variant forms of those names -- Lewis = Ludovicus =
Lutwidge; Carroll = Carolus = Charles." Yates chose the last of these, and we cannot doubt
that
the choice was a happy one.

unknown number of reprintings from the original plates" (BAL). The first printing contains

CARROLL PHOTOGRAPHS ROSSETTI!
- DODGSON, Charles L.: [Lewis Carroll]. Oval photograph measuring 3-5/8" x
4-7/8".
Circa 1863. $3,000
Photograph of Dante Gabriel Rossetti seated. A one inch crack affecting the emulsion at
the
bottom of the photograph and affecting only his pant leg. Otherwise, uncut.
There are two distinct versions of this photo, this being the smaller of the two.
This Lewis
Carroll
image is considered to be the finest Victorian photograph of Rossetti by Lewis Carroll that
had
ever been taken. We also consider it to be one of the more historically important as well. In
an
undated
letter [1864?] from Christina Rossetti to Lewis Carroll she references this photograph as
"an
oval
of Gabriel seated, holding a wide-awake, nearly or quite full-face."

cover, inner and outer hinges fine, head and foot of spine fine, overall a fine copy.
(1090A)
It was first called "Word Links", but the word 'doublets' was in use from the
first.
It consists in
connecting two doublets (words with the same number of letters, usually 3, 4, or 5) by links
in
which each word differs from the preceding one by one single letter only, as HEAD, heal,
teal,
tell, tall, TAIL. The chain in which there are fewest links gains the highest marks. The game
became very popular in private circles.

PRESENTATION COPY
- DODGSON, Charles L. The Game of Logic. London: Macmillan and Co., 1887.
$3,750
PRESENTATION COPY OF THE (SECOND) FIRST PUBLISHED EDITION. 1
volume,
inscribed on he half-title "Middie Synge/ from the Author/ Mar./87", with the accompanying
printed envelope (dated 1887) containing 8 of 9 counters, 3 of 4 red and 5 of 5 gray, and the
printed card-diagram. Bound in the original gilt stamped red cloth, inner hinges starting,
spine darkened and chipped, still GOOD. (2498A)
-
For whatever reason Dodgson had suppressed the first 1886 edition of this work of which
approximately only 50 copies were produced. There are three chapters, "New Lamps for old",
"Cross questions", and "Hit or miss"; the last, like the papers on Logic, contain tricky
premises from which conclusions have to be drawn. The diagrams are suited, in conjunction
with red counters (one or more objects) or gray counters (no objects) placed on them, to express
various
kinds of logical statements. Dodgson's work 'Symbolic Logic' has a development of this
idea.
