Titmarsh The Paris Sketch Book was published in 1840, in two volumes, by John Macrone - the publisher, four years before, of Dickens's Sketches by Boz. It was Thackeray's first real publication of a book; for "Flore et Zephyr: ballet mythologique par Theophile Wagstaff," which sometimes so figures in the bibliographies, though issued in book form in 1836 (by Mitchell, Bond Street), was nothing more than a set of drawings reproduced by lithography and without letterpress; while a book issue of the Yellowplush Papers in America in 1838 (they had appeared in Fraser the year before) cannot count as put forth by the author. Made up of papers, sketches, and stories, many of which had already appeared and the rest of which had been written at widely different times, the Paris Sketch Book has of course no individual history or associations like the novels. It was probably put together and prepared for publication in London, in the house No. 13 Great Coram Street, where Thackeray lived for about three years before it appeared, and where two of his children were born.
