Abstract
DICKENS, Trollope, and Carlyle, with Meredith figuring both as client of and reader to the house of Chapman and Hall—these are the names which will attract lovers of books to this work. The story of Dickens's relations with his publishers and of his love of gain at a time when he was in comfortable circumstances is a painful one. Mr. Waugh's narrative, however, is written in a large spirit of charity and forbearance towards all who served the firm whether as clients, clerks, readers, or managers.
