1 reserve. II is not really English, and tends TO
modify English family feeling ip the direction
| of theatric tenderness and an tmpulslVeness
wholly wanting in self-cOntrol.
| In one word, IL seems to us that Mr.. Dickens
| highest and lowest moral influences arise from
the same cause, his wonderful genius for carica-
ture. All vices arising from ssDlple motives he
makes contemplate and hldeous-avarice,
| cruelty, sel6shness, hypocrisy, especially reli-
gious hypocrisy. But then he has great ten
dency tosnfake the corresponding virtues ludi-
crous too by his over-colored sentiment. The
brothers Cheeryble always seem to be rubbing
their hands from intense hrotherly love; the self
abandonment of Tom Pinch is grotesque; the
elaborate self-disguise of Mr.. Boflin as a miser
in order to warn Bella Wilfer of her danger, is
an insult to both the reason and conscience of
the reader; and Mr.. Dickens saints, like that
Agnes in David Copperfeld" who insists on
pointing upwards, are invariably detestable., His
morality concentrates itself on the two strong
points we have named u profound horror of
cruelty and profound contempt for humbug;
but Mr. Dickens has no fine perception for the
inward shades of humbug-relaxeda and cosseted
emotions.
His greatest service to English literature will
after all, be not his high morality which is alto
gether wanting in delicacy of insight, but i'm the
complete harmessness and purity of the immea-
s1rable humOr into which he moulds his enor-
nous stores of acute observation Almost all
creative humOrsts tend to the impure-lke
Swift and Smollett, even Fielding On, the
other hand, there are plenty of humOrists who
are not creative, who take the humor out of
themselves and only apply it to what passes,
like Charles Lamb aud Sydney Smith. But
Dickens uses his unlimited powers of observa-
ton to create for himself original fields of hui
NOR, and crowds grotesque and elaborate detail
around the most happy conceptions, without
ever being attracted for moment towards any
prurient or unhealthy field of laughter. Thus,
as by far the most popular and amusing of all
English writers, he provides unlimited food for
a great people without infusing any really dam
gerous poison into it. In this way, doubtless
he has done us q service which can scarcely be
over-estimated. Nor do we see that his fame is
likely to gain by making for him any false claim
on our gratitude. His true claim, If correctly
stated, scarcely can be OUerstated; but still it is
very easily misstated, and is usually grossly
misstated as it seems to us, in those solemn
acts of public idolatry by which we are mar
