Notice : Tobias Twickenham, single work advertisement

A notice advertising for subscribers for a new work to be entitled 'The Life and Adventures and Public and Private Career of Tobias Twickenham, Esq.' The work was to published in 24 parts 'each number to contain sixteen pages similar in size to those of the Pickwick Papers'. Subscription lists were open at 'Mr Tegg's [James Tegg], George-street, Mr Moffitt's [William Moffitt] Pitt-street, and the Australian Office, Hunter-street ... Price 1s each Number'. The first number was intended to be published on the 1 November 1838.

The advertisement seemingly jests that it is inserted by Boz (Charles Dickens) and advises that the work is by 'his nephew'.

At least two parts of this work, entitled A Faithful History of the Life and Adventures, and Public and Private Career of Tobias Twickenham Esquire by 'Boz Jun', were published by James Tegg in November and December 1838.
