Editor’s Note
2 Clearly Lovejoy had invited CD to the inaugural dinner at the opening of the great Public Hall on 24 Oct; the Examiner, 28 Oct, reported Talfourd's speech in which "he regretted, in common with his fellow townsmen, the absence of one whose genius was as universal as the nature he illustrated … Charles Dickens".
