WHEN CHARLEs DICKENS was In this country,
In the year 1912, we had just read "The Old Gu
rioslty Shop, and "Barnaby Rudge." We read
his American Notes" with great interest, and
was much pleased with his correct description of
us people, Slavery then ruled this country
with an absolute tyranny, Few men here dared
speak the truth; but Dickens, being an English
man, escaped the mob. But there was gnashing
of teeth, and II he had come back any time In the
next ten wears, he might have Jared worse than
did Charles Sumner,
We have often wished, since We learned that
Dickens was again coming to this country, that
No had copy Of American Notes, (" and last
weak we received the book itself from MessrS.
Tcknor & Fields, Of Boston, The publishers
say that they were induced to reprint the Notes,
from the following suggestions in an editorial in
the New Ysrk Tribune;
I'VE regret to observe that one or two Journals
are spiteful enough 10 print some very unklnd re-
marks about Charles Dickens, in anticipation Of
his forthceming visit to America. Mr.. Dickens
said some pretty hard things of US many years
ago; but 1t Is by no means certain that we did
not deserve them; and even If we did not any
man Of sense ought 10 know that whatever little
injury he ever did us has been twenty times out
weighed by the substantial good he has conferred
upon tho world. The fact Is, we doubt whether
those who are now rndest In their censure Of the
great novelist know how much truth and good
sense are embodied IN the writings with which
they principally find fault, and how groundless is
the assertion that he abused the hospitality
thlng--good for Mr. Dickens and good for our
salves-slf our publishers would take the present
p0rtuHity TO put upon the market now edi-
tion Of the American Notes; that would help us
to know how little we had to complain of from
the hands of our guest how much we have mend
ed in our manners, aud how much there Is still to
mend"
THE RIVERSIDE MAGAZINE for December Is a
beautiful number This is one of the very best
magazines for the young. Interesting, instruc-
tive, and mechanically gottenHp In the finest and
NEST attractive style, II must become popular.
