Title from volume title page.

The number for Dec. 21, 1850, called the "Christmas number." Extra Christmas numbers for the years 1851-1858 were issued with v. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18.

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 annual compilations. In 1852 <vol. 5, no. 23> was reissued with additional content as: Dicken's household words and valuable whispers. In 1852, <new series vol. 1, no. 4-15> was reissued with additional content as: Dickens' household words, and United States weekly register, then <new series vol. 1, no. 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.

From 1850-1855 was published the "Household narrative of current events...being a monthly supplement to Household words." 6 vol. in 3.
