First sentence: THE year 1812 would be specially remarkable, in a literary sense, if for nothing else than that it saw the birth of three notable men of letters; Robert Browning, a great if not a popular poet; Charles Dickens, novelist, alike great and popular, and John Forster, truly great as historian, biographer, critic, and journalist.
