Charles Dickens as Editor.

Dickens is most thought of as novel;
list, but his career as editor, if less
dwelt upon, was hardly less distin-
guished in his service, first to House
hold Words and then to All the Year
Round. Except during his brief con-
nection with the Daily News, he was
never the editor of daily journal; but
in the record, which his son furnishes
in the August number of the English
Illustrated Magazine, of his method OF
editing a weekly Journal and of dealing
with his contributors, it is found that
Dickens set up the highest standard
possible, and brought all Of his indom-
table energy and capacity for taking
pains into the service of his weekly
magazine. He was the model editor in
his chosen field, exacting but consider
ate, and if his correspondence with all
contributors was as kindly as it was
with the American lady whose contri-
buttons he took in hand and commented
on, his relations to his co-laborers must
have been choice illustrations of his
kindness of heart and OF the conscien-
tious discharge of his relations to others
