Charles Dickens in America

From a collection of contemporary press clippings this volume seeks to explain the attitude of the American press and people towards Dickens on the occasion of his first visit to the United States, as well as to assist Dickensians to gauge for themselves the justice of his strictures on the American journalism of the period._"Mr. Wilkins has performed his task with commendable impartiality, and as a scrupulously careful narrative of the eventful journey of 1842, and especially as representing, from the American point of view, the manner in which 'Boz' at thrity came, saw, and conquered, his book is a novel and valuable addition to existing literature on Dickens." ATHENAEUM. ILLUS.
