ORIGIN OF SAM WELLER.
Samuel Vale, an Actor, Is Supposed t.
Have Greenfield the Character.

Samuel Vale, an Actor, Is Supposed to
Have Created the Character.
The great scarcity of the early numbers
of "Pickwick Papers" is not difficult tC
understand when it is borne in mind that
only 400 copies were printed of the first
part, which was published on March 81,
1886 Before the appearance of the fourth
number there was some idea of stopping
the ISSUE as the expenses were found to be
in excess of the receipts. But in the fifth
number Sam Weller was introduced, and
the work at once sprang into unbounded
popularity.
While nothing positive has ever been es-
tablished on the point, it is held by some
writer's that the original of Sam Weller
was Samuel Vale, who acted the part of
Simon Spatterdash in a farce called 1.-THE
Boarding House, and made this character
a great popular favorite. The odd whim.
sicality of Wales novel comparisons is best
understood on reference to the part set
down to Spatterdash in the farce.
Among his queer comparisons are: Il
know the world, as the monkey said when
he cut off his tail. " II am down upon
you, as the extinguisher said to the rush.
light" "'Come on, as the man said to
the tight boot. ~ =" am all over perspira-
ton, as the mutton chop said to the grid
iron. - Why, here we are all mustered,
as the roast beef said to the Welsh rabbit. -
Vale introduced these peculiar compari'
sons in his private life as well as upon the
stage, and from 1880 to 1886 this style of
expression became widely popular. 1t is
not unreasonable to suppose that Dickens
became in sense the abstract mirror OF
his time in catching the popular fun and
embalming it with his choice phraseology.
OF. course it would he the height of absurd
ity to charge Dickens with being mere
copyist or for one moment to think OF
Sam Weller as other than an original char
acter. Dickens may have borrowed an idea
but he certainly made no slavish use Of it
for the prevailing sam Valeism and the
monkey that knew the world was in M
way on a par with the sam Weller com
parison-for example, in describing thu
elder Mr.. Weller and the touter as walk
