First sentence: IN Thackeray the Humourist and the Man of Letters, which was published in 1864 by the late Mr. John Camden Hotten, and was in all probability written by him, though the title-page gives the author's name as 'Theodore Taylor, Esq.,' it is recorded (pp. 188-190) on the authority of Dr. Cornish, then vicar of Ottery St. Mary, near Exeter, that when Thackeray was staying there as a boy, he wrote and brought to Dr. Cornish some verses, which duly appeared in 'an Exeter paper.'
