Reissue of the original weekly published in London, 1850-1859. No. <4-5> reissued by George P. Putnam with a cancel slip over the number and the date. By issue 28 his imprint was printed below the caption title. Also issued in semi-annual (volume) compilations. In 1852 <vol. 5, numbers 23> was reissued with additional content as: Dicken's household words and valuable whispers. In 1852, <new series volume 1, numbers 4-15> was reissued with additional content as: Dickens' household words, and United States weekly register, then <new series volume 1, numbers 5-15> was reissued with additional content as: Dickens's household words and United States weekly register. In 1853 the title reverted back to Household words, and was marketed as "American edition," which was issued in both a weekly and a monthly edition as well as in semi-annual (volume) compilations, beginning with Vol. 1 (1850). Subscribers could also send back their own collected sets (of whatever years) and have them bound in green publisher's cloth to match the semi-annual compilations.
