] am not old enough TO remember
the publication Of the early novels
OF Edward Lytton Bulwsr. and
consequently am unable TO speak OF
their reception by the public press;
but when that gifted gentleman took TO

upon his dramatic attempts.
There in no doubt that Bulwer had,
In some way or other, made himself
personally offensive to the critics; but.

turning 70 Bulwer, Dickens said: did
