DICKENS LECTURES.

According to the Spectator Dickens lectures
were NOT lectures at all In the proper sense of
the word, but dramatic representations of pas
sages IN his novels. at probably did little
good to anybody, as It certainly did great harm
to himself, when he acted a revolving murder
ON small stage. The curiosity produced was
mot beslthful, and the great novelist was rather
degrading aais position when he consented TO
perform as sens1tanal actor. But other
for example, Of .coleridgc, or Mr. earfyie5s
lectures on Hero-sorship probably contributed
TO spread the reputation of two eminent men
more rapx2y th4n would have been the case
If they had bcen entirely confined TO writing"
