SUBSTITUTE FOB HOLYWELL4TRENT LITERATTJEL
—I rejoice more than I can express that Mr. Dickens is
about to cultivate a field which Defoe and Fielding would
assuredly have cultivated had their geniuses, like his, been
oast upon this age of millions of readers. He is about to
enter upon the conduct of " a new weekly miscellany of
genital literature, designed for the entertainment sad
mairsation of all classes of readers, and to help in the
&demesnes% of the most important social questions of the
time." He will do his work righteously ; there will be no
Hee width, living er dying, "he would wish to blot.".—
