Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the Public Dinner Given to Charles Dickens: At the Waterloo Rooms Edinburgh on Friday, June 25, 1841 If it was the Scotsman which Dickens sent Forster, he was justified in his opinion that "the report is dismal in the extreme". That of the evening courant, while better, still upholds Dickens´s opinion of the two papers, given to Jerdan, that "the reporting is dismal". The search, however, disclosed a third report printed, four days after the affair, in the Edinburgh Advertiser, Tuesday, June 29th, which is very much better, as well as more extended than in the other two papers. It is believed by the writer, that ardent Dickensians will agree with him, that this report of the happenings of a day, which certainly was a red letter day to the young author, should be preserved in a more accessible form, than in the musty files of a newspaper over seventy years old. This is the excuse, if any is required, for reprinting the Advertiser´s report. Forster, in his biography, says regarding the dinner, "This was his first practical experience of the honors his fame had won for him, and it found him as eager to receive as all were eager to give." In connection with the report of the dinner, it is interesting to read some extracts from a letter which Dickens wrote Forster two days before it occurred, in which he gives, as Forster remarks, some "pleasant sketches of some of those who took a leading part in the celebration, whose once famous and familiar figures are not so well known to the present generation."
