Excerpt from Dickens I am under special obligations to Mr. R. F. Sketchley, Libra rian of the Dyce and Forster Libraries at South Kensington, for his courtesy in affording me much useful aid and informa tion. With the kind permission of Mrs. Forster, Mr. Sketchley enabled me to supplement the records of Dickens's life, in the period 1838 from a hitherto unpublished source - a series of brief entries by him in four volumes of The Law and 00m me-reial Daily Remembrancer for those years. These volumes formed no part of the Forster bequest, but were added to it, under certain conditions, by Mrs. Forster. The entries are mostly very brief; and sometimes there are months without an entry. Many days succeed one another with no other note than Work.
