CRITIC OF DICKENS
Says Portrayal of London

LAMBETH BRIDGE TO GO
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondents Of The Star.
LONDON, February -, 1912.
While we are in the midst OF our Dick
ems celebrations a cruel blow is aimed
by the writer In the February num-
Der Of the Nineteenth Century at
the thousands Of literary pilgrims
who. In this year Of the centenary of
Dickens birth, Will be seeking out spots
In London associated with the great nov
elist's writings NEr. Doweu Figgis, in
an interesting article on Dickens, says
that in both "Oliyer Twist and "a
Christmas Carol" though the streets are
given their habitual names, they are
changed and altered so that We can
scarcely think Of them as streets OF Lon
don at all. It is not sufficient to say
that the times have changed, and that
therefore what seems to us a transmuta-
ton might have been but a faithful por-
trayal.
There is the same strangeness, the same
wild and fantastic remoteness about the
scenery Of Nicholas Nickleby'' and 1.-THE
Old Curiosity Shop" The result Is that
the London Dickens has drawn has no
relevance to the London that now is. says
Mr.. Figgis, or eyer was. save in an iden
tity OF street plan, SO that those who talk
Of seeking out Dickens London are in
search for something that can never be
found. Though some OF the supposed
Dickens landmarks in London are open
to suspicion. many Dickens students who
know London well will not agree with
this sweeping conclusion of Mr.. Dowell
F1ggis.
Middle Templars are naturally proud Of
the fact that Charles Dickens was
member of their inn He was admitted
as a student in 1889, when he was just
under thirty years Of age, but was never
called" to the bar Dickens son, the
well known X. c.. Ia q member of the
Inner Temple, as is grandson of the
novelist. Thackeray, Sheridan and Edmund
Burke were members Of the Middle Tenn
pie. which has numbered many eminent lit
erary men among her sons. Experts say
that the characteristics Of the Middle and
Inner Temples are strangely dissimilar.
While the latter Is academic, arstOcratic
and even fashionable, the former is demo-
cratic and even honestly plebeian. Poor
men going to the bar always join the
Middle Temple, or Gray's 1nn which Is

Difference in Two Inns.

And the ARRANGEMENTS Of the two inns
In the temple accord with their respective
characters In the Inner Temple students
dine separately and leave the hall before
the benchers retire. It is said not to be
good form to enter a mess unless invited,
and the general air is one Of restraint
and well preserved decorum. On the
other hand. the Middle Temple is entirely
different. The utmost comradeship ex-
lists between students and barristers, who
dine and send the benchers forth with
hearty cheers II they choose. A census
of various occupations represented any
night in Middle Temple Hall would be
surprising to the outside world. In Dick
ems time each mess of four men selected
its own joint, which the captain carv-
ed, but nowadays the choice of several
dishes is open, and they are carved at a
large table set across the hall Dickens,
the poor man opening his own road to
fortune, could have found no better place
than Middle Temple hall.
The great colonial center In London in
future will be the Strand. The London
county council has confirmed the sale to
the Australian commonwealth of the
freehold Of the eastern horn of the cres-
cent site in the Strand, consisting Of
A,828 square fest, for G379,756 The Lon
don offices of the state Of Victoria are al
ready on q portion Of this site, which
they leased from the council at an annual
ground rent Of ES74. The commonwealth
building will take in the Victorian build
ing, and will have room enough to house
all the other Australian states. That is
a good stroke.

Negotiations Pending.

The council now Is In negotiation with
the Dominion government Of Canada and
with the union government of South At
RIGA for the sale of other portions Of the
island site for their London Offices. II
all the colonial offices could be brought
into this central and convenient part 1t
would be . daily object lesson to thou
sands Of people on the essential unity OF
the empire. 1t Is curious that In order to
get the commonwealth to take the site
the council has had to abandon the notion
Of keeping the ground and drawing a
ground rent for ntnety-nine years. The
Victorian government agreed to these
terms. but the cOmmonwealth-the most
democratic government in the world
would not hear OF such q thing. 1t
would buy the freehold or 90 elsewhere.
1t IS understood that In view of the
building of new offices for the housing of
the high commissioner a scheme Is being
considered whereby the heavy expense OF
maintaining q separate stan and ONCE for
each OF the agents general OF the various
states, will be reduced. Experience proves
that the present arrangement leads to a
considerable amount Of overlapping Of
work and to q needless duplication Of ex-
pense.
There Is also an entire absence Of CO.
operation between the agents general. re-
sulting sometimes in confusion and delay.
A better understanding Is necessary and
1t is felt that this object can be best at
tanned by larger devolution of duties
upon the high commissioner. and by the
housing of the whole of them under one
roof, including the emigration agencies.
This policy will not impair the status
of the agents general, but will increase
the Importance of the high commissioner
and allow him greater freedom Of action.
At present the high commissioner occu-
pies a somewhat difficult position. as his
government and the governments Of the
states of the commonwealth do not al
ways see eye to eye in matters relating to
their common interests. and his action Is,
In consequence. liable at times to be rem
