4 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853- eray lived here seven years, and in this house wrote "The Four Georges," the latter part of "The New- comes", " The Virginians", "Lovel the Widower," the opening chapters of "Philip," and the earlier " Round- about Papers." Immediately after the removal to Onslow Square, he went abroad with his daughters.
Three weeks of London were more than enough for me, and I feel as if I had had enough of it and plea- sure [he wrote to W. B. Reed, from Neuchatel, on July 21, 1853]. Then I remained a month with my parents ; then I brought my girls on a little pleasuring tour, and it has really been a pleasuring tour. We spent ten days at Baden, when I set intrepidly to work again ; and have been five days in Switzerland now ; not bent on going up mountains, but on taking things easily. How beautiful it is ! How pleasant ! How great and affable, too, the landscape is ! It's delightful to be in the midst of such scenes — the ideas get generous reflections from them. I don't mean to say my thoughts grow moun- tainous and enormous like the Alpine chain yonder ; but, in fine, it is good to be in the presence of this noble nature. It is keeping good company ; keeping away mean thoughts. I see in the papers now and again accounts of fine parties in London. Bon Dieu! is it possible anyone ever wanted to go to fine London parties, and are there now people sweating in Mayfair routs? The European continent swarms with your people. They are not all as polished as Chesterfield. I wish some of them spoke French a little better. I saw five of them at supper at Basle the other night with their knives down their throats. It was awful ! My daughter saw it, and I was obliged to say, " My dear, your great-great-grandmother, one of the finest ladies of the old school I ever saw, always applied cold steel to her wittles. It's no crime to eat with a knife," which is all very well : but I wish five of 'em at a time wouldn't. . . .

i855] "THE NEWCOMES" 5
I am about a new story, but don't know as yet if it will be any good. It seems to me I am too old for story-telling ; but I want money, and shall get 20,000 dollars for this, of which (D.V.) I'll keep fifteen.1
The story referred to in the letter was " The New- comes," the idea of which occurred to him when he was abroad.
Two years ago, walking with my children in some pleasant fields, near to Berne in Switzerland, I strayed from them into a little wood [he wrote in the postscript to the novel] ; and, coming out of it pre- sently, told them how the story had been revealed to me somehow, which for twenty-three months the reader has been pleased to follow.
Much of "The Newcomes" was written abroad, at Rome, in Germany, and Switzerland, and at the Chateau du Brecquerecque at Boulogne. In the autumn of 1854 he was in London, where he had a bout of illness.
I am to-day just out of bed after another, about the dozenth, severe fit of spasms, which I have had this year [he wrote to W. B. Reed from Onslow Gardens on November 8]. My book would have been written but for them, and the lectures begun, with which I hope to make a few thousand more dollars for those young ladies. But who knows whether I shall be well enough to deliver them, or what is in store for next year ?2
In the same letter he mentioned another, and last, attempt to enter the Government service.
The secretaryship of our legation at Washington was vacant the other day, and I instantly asked for it;
1 W. B. Reed : Haud Immemor — Thackeray in America. 3 Ibid.
WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853-
but in the very kindest letter Lord Clarendon showed how the position was impossible. First, the place was given away; next, it would not be fair to appoint out of the service. But the first was an excellent reason, not a doubt of it. So if ever I come, as I hope and trust to do this time next year, it must be at my own cost ; and not the Queen's.
The first number of "The Newcomes " appeared in October 1853, and the last in August 1855. When the novel was finished in the summer of the latter year, Thackeray again went abroad, and at Rome caught a fever, from the effects of which he never entirely recovered. It was just before this illness that he began to write that glorious nonsense, "The Rose and the Ring."
After his recovery, Thackeray returned to London to prepare the second course of lectures, which were to be delivered first in America. He had thought of " Men of the World " as a subject, but this was eventually abandoned for "The Four Georges." The work was begun in September, when the author dictated it to George Hodder. Thackeray was one of the few men of genius who could dictate their work, and the com- mencement of this habit may probably be traced so far back as 1849, when, after his illness, he was too weak to sit long at a desk, and was compelled to employ an amanuensis. At the house in Onslow Square he usually wrote in his bedroom, for his study, a small room on the ground-floor, was exposed to the noises from the street. Mr. Hodder has recorded how Thack- eray was sometimes in doubt as to whether he should commence operations sitting or standing or walking
1855] "THE FOUR GEORGES" 7
about or lying down ; how often he would light a cigar, and after pacing the room for a few minutes, would put the unsmoked remnant on the mantelpiece, as if he had gathered fresh inspiration from the "gentle odours" or the " sublime tobacco"; and how, when he made a humorous point, which caused Mr. Hodder to laugh, his own countenance would be quite unmoved.1
The famous lectures are only three quarters done [Thackeray wrote on October 11], and I must trust to luck and the voyage and my previous knowledge of his " heroic " character for finishing George IV.
A farewell dinner, to which allusion has already been made, was given to him by his literary brethren on October 11, at the London Tavern, with Dickens in the chair ; and on the 13th he sailed for the second time Westward Ho !
The second American tour was in most essentials a repetition of the first. Again he was feted, again the lectures were applauded, and again he made money — only this time far more than before.
I have been wanting to send you a line ever since I have been here, and waiting for a day's quiet when I could have leisure to send a letter big enough to travel 3000 miles — but there never is a day's quiet here. It is day after day skurry and turmoil, friends calling, strangers calling, newspaper articles bawling out abuse or telling absurd personalities — you know the life well enough, and have undergone the perse- cution in your time. The dollars hardly compensate for it ; nor the extraordinary kindness and friendliness of the real friends on whom one lights [he wrote to Macready on November 20].
As far as money goes I am doing great things here

and the dollars are rolling in. I shall make all but £1000 in 5 weeks — though not, of course, to continue at this rate. At first the papers didn't like the lectures : but they are better pleased with the second reading, and the public likewise, who begin to find that what seems very easy is not done in a hurry. What the people like is sentiment, and I could not give them any of this article except about old George III whom they received very tenderly. I finish him off with an image taken from the death scene of an old king . . . you used to know in times when you wore crowns, and of whom, being dead, it was said, Vex not his ghost, and let him pass, he hates him who would upon the rack of this tough world stretch him out longer.1
The tour was extensive — New York, Boston, and Baltimore, from which last city he wrote to W. B. Reed to complain of " wicked weather, and an opera com- pany which performed on the first two lecture nights, and made the audiences rather thin." At Baltimore in 1853 he had made the acquaintance of John P. Kennedy, and on this visit he was the guest of that gentleman, who gave him valuable information concerning Vir- ginia, and even took him to that State so that he might see things for himself. The knowledge acquired was used in "The Virginians," and on the strength of this, apparently, for no further evidence has been adduced, several friends of Mr. Kennedy claimed that he wrote all or part of the fourth chapter of the second volume of "The Virginians"! Unfortunately for those who advance this statement the manuscript of the novel is in Thackeray's handwriting. " No doubt Mr. Kennedy

gave my father some facts about the scenery," Lady Ritchie has said ; " but I am sure my father wrote his own books, for nobody else could have written them for him." From Baltimore, Thackeray went to Richmond, Charleston, Augusta, Savannah, Montgomery, Macon, Mobile, New Orleans, Buffalo, Cincinnati, etc.; and then back to New York, where he stayed with three bachelor friends at the " Bower of Virtue," as he styled the house, No. 604, Houston Street.
When Thackeray was in New York, a young book- seller offered him a large sum to repeat the course of lectures on "The English Humourists." This he was unwilling to do, but eventually yielded, partly at the request of friends, and, no doubt, somewhat persuaded by the handsome terms. The course was a failure from the pecuniary point of view : it was too late in the season for the thing ; and the lectures had been printed and everyone was familiar with them. "I don't mind the empty benches ; but I cannot bear to see that sad, pale-faced young man as I come out, who is losing money on my account," he said to Reed, through whose agency the bookseller remitted the money. Reed received no acknowledgment of the draft, and was not a little annoyed, especially when he learnt that Thackeray had sailed for home. The next morning, however, came a letter from the novelist, containing a certificate of deposit in a New York bank for an amount sufficient to make up the bookseller's
loss.
When you get this, . . . remummum-ember me to kick-kick-kind friends ... a sudden resolution — to-mummum-morrow .... in the Bu-Bu-baltic.

in Philadelphia. I didn't think of going away when I left home this morning ; but it's the best way. ... I think it is best to send back 25 per cent to poor . Will you kindly give him the enclosed.1
The second visit terminated in the same abrupt manner as the first. " The process of saying Goodbye is horrible to me — as I shook kind hands and walked away out of hospitable doors at Philadelphia for the last time I felt quite sad and guilty as it were," Thackeray declared. "Where was the need of pro- longing these adieux? So Friday, 25th (April 1856), as I walked down Broadway seeming very bright, warm, and cheery, I went with my usual sudden impetus straight to Collin's office, and was off the next day, before I knew I was gone." His good-byes were made by letter.
I tell you writing is just as dismal and disgusting as saying goodbye [he wrote to William Duer Robinson, "On Board, Last Day," May 7, 1856]. I hate it, and but for a sense of duty I wouldn't write at all — confound me if I would. But you know after a fellow has been so uncommonly hospitable and kind and that sort of thing, a fellow ought, you see, to write and tell a fellow that a fellow's very much obliged and — in a word you understand. Sir, you made me happy when I was with you, you made me sorry to come away, and you make me happy now when I think what a kind, generous W.D.R. you are. You have Davis back in the Bower of Virtue — you'll fill that jug when you one day drink my health, won't you? and when you come to Europe you'll come to me and my girls mind, and we'll see if there is not some good claret at 36, Onslow Square. . . . We have had a dreary, rough passage — yester- day the hardest blow of all. I have been ill with

one of my old intermittent attacks, after which my mouth broke out with an unusually brilliant eruption, and I am going to Liverpool with a beard eight days long. It is not becoming in its present stage. I have not been seasick, but haven't been well a single day. Wine is ojus to me, segars create loathing — couldn't I write something funnier and more cheer- ful? Perhaps I may when we are fairly in Liverpool — perhaps we may be there to-night, perhaps not till to-morrow morning, for it blew a hurricane in our face last night, and the odds are we shall not have water enough to pass the bar.
We did pass the bar [he added, when he reached Onslow Square] ; and didn't I have a good dinner at the Adelphi, and wasn't I glad to get back to town yesterday, and wasn't there a great dinner at the Garrick Club (the annual Shakspeare dinner, which ought to have come off on the 23rd ult., but was put off on account of the naval review), and didn't I make a Yankee speech, and oh lor', Robinson, haven't I got a headache this morning ? I'm ashamed to ask for a sober-water, that's the fact — And so here's the old house, the old room, the old teapot by my bedside — the old trees nodding in at my window : it looks as if I'd never been away, and that it's all a dream I have been making. Well, in my dream I dreamt there was an uncommonly good fellow, by name W D R, and I dreamed that he treated me with all sorts of kindness, and I send him and J C B D (i.e., J. C. Bancroft Davis) and D D (Dening Duer) and what's his name, (Samuel E. Lyons) downstairs? my heartiest regards, and when my young women come home I shall tell them what a good deal of kindness their papa had across the water.1
Soon after his arrival in London, Thackeray, through the agency of Mr. Hodder, made arrangements to deliver the lectures on the " Four Georges" in London
Accidentia, February 19, 1868.
12 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853-
and the provinces for the sum of fifty guineas each. Mr. Beale, of Messrs. Cramer and Beale, had suggested the terms, which Thackeray accepted without showing any special elation, or letting the impresario see that he thought the offer anything exceptional, though as soon as Beale had left he remarked: ''Fifty guineas a night ! Why, I shouldn't have received half that sum for an article in Eraser's Magazine a few years ago." He was always careful never to lower the market- price of his works, and after the success of "Vanity Fair" had placed him in the front rank of men of letters, he invariably demanded the full pecuniary value of his literary labours. " Always ask enough," he said ; "they can but drop you down a bit if they don't like it."
After the lectures had been delivered in London, Thackeray went with George Hodder (who acted throughout as agent for Messrs. Cramer and Beale) to Exeter, Plymouth, Clifton, Birmingham, and Oxford, at which city he was very well received by the under- graduate audience, and was so delighted at the enthu- siasm of the young men that he exclaimed : "There's an audience for you ! Gad, I'd lecture to those young fellows for nothing " ; and he received many of them in his private room, where he thanked them for the sympathy and encouragement they had given him. " Lewis Carroll " met him there at breakfast. " I was much pleased with what I saw of him," wrote the author of "Alice in Wonderland." "His manner is simple and unaffected : he shows no anxiety to share in conversation, though full of fun and anecdote when drawn out. He seemed delighted with the reception
i855] ACCUSED OF DISLOYALTY 13
he met with last night — the undergraduates seem to have behaved with most unusual moderation."1 Norwich was the last place in England where the lectures were to be given, and here Thackeray was seized with one of the violent attacks to which he was subject, which delayed his journey northwards. Though Professor Aytoun advised him to "Let the Georges alone, and stick to the Jeameses,"2 the lectures were well attended — in Edinburgh by actually three per cent, of the whole population: "Ah!" exclaimed the great man, u if I could but get three per cent, of London."
In connection with these lectures on the Georges, the charge of disloyalty was brought against the author. While they were being delivered in America, many English newspapers and people asserted that he would never dare to read them in England, and when, nothing daunted, he made arrange- ments for their delivery, a certain class or school of persons waxed exceeding wroth. Amongst these the place of honour must most certainly be given to a rector (whose father had been presented to a valuable living by George IV) who was so enraged that he wrote to a newspaper: "An elderly, infidel buffoon of the name of Thackeray has been lecturing in town on the subject of the Four Georges, etc., etc." At Edinburgh, Thackeray, replying to a toast at a public dinner given in his honour, made his defence.
I had thought that in these lectures I had spoken in terms, not of disrespect or unkindness, but in

feelings and in language not un-English, of her Majesty the Queen ; and whenever I have had to mention her name, whether it was upon the banks of the Clyde or upon those of the Mississippi, whether it was in New England or in Old England, whether it was in some great hall in London to the artisans of the suburbs of the metropolis, or to the politer audiences at the western end — whenever I had to mention her name, it was received with shouts of applause, and with the most hearty cheers. And why was this? It was not on account of the speaker ; it was on account of the truth, it was because the English and the Americans — the people of New Orleans a year ago, and people of Aber- deen a week ago — all received and acknowledged with due allegiance the great claims to honour which that lady has, who worthily holds that great and awful situation which our Queen occupies. It is my loyalty that is called in question, and it is my loyalty I am trying to plead to you. Suppose, for example, in America — in Philadelphia or in New York — I had spoken of George IV in terms of praise or affected reverence, do you suppose they would have hailed his name with cheers or have heard it with anything like respect ? They would have laughed in my face if I had so spoken of him. They know what I know and what you know, and what numbers of squeamish loyalists who affect to cry out against my lectures know, that that man's life was not a good life — that that king was not such a king as we ought to love or regard or honour. And I believe, for my part, that in speaking the truth as we hold it of a bad sovereign, we are paying no disrespect at all to a good one. Far from it. On the contrary, we degrade our own honour and the Sovereign's by unduly and unjustly praising him : and the mere slaverer and flatterer is one who comes forward, as it were, with flash notes, and pays with false coin his tribute to Cassar. I don't disguise from you that I feel somehow or other on my trial here for loyalty, for honest English feeling.
i855] DEFENDS HIS LOYALTY 15
"To what is it the people are objecting?" Mrs. Browning asked, after hearing the lecture on George III, and indeed the question is not easy to answer. How could it have been deemed even bad taste, much less disloyalty, to discuss the failings of four sovereigns who had been dead respectively for a hundred and twenty-five, ninety-five, thirty-five, and twenty-five years? Surely it is perfectly legitimate, without violating any of the canons of decency, to criticise the acts and life of a public character, however highly placed, who has been dead for a quarter of a century. Progress would indeed be slow if it were necessary to wait more than a century and a quarter after the death of a man before we might discuss his doings and argue the question of his morality. Thackeray might have spoken even in harsher terms of George IV, and he must have been inclined to do so, for when he spoke of the lectures to Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, he said he sometimes wondered whether " every soul of these people he had to speak of was not damned in the end."
The lectures on the Georges delivered, Thackeray, who for some time past had thought of standing for Parliament, was invited to contest Oxford in the Liberal interest in June 1857, when Professor Neate was un- seated for what Thackeray called, "a twopennyworth of bribery which he never committed." Though never a keen politician, he held strong views on some subjects, and expressed himself in favour of the ballot and reform. He told Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff the chief reason he wished to be in the House of Commons was that he might stand up once a year and tell his country- men what would happen "when the French invade
16 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853-
us."1 But this was a propos of the fiery Colonels, and must have been a passing desire.1 Thackeray dated his Address to the electors from the Mitre, July 9, 1857.
I should be unworthy of the great kindness and cordiality with which you have received me to-night, were I to hesitate to put your friendship to the test and ask you to confirm it at the poll. . . .
I would use my best endeavours, not merely to popularise the Government of this country. With no feeling but that of goodwill towards those leading aristocratic families who are administering the chief offices of the State, I believe it could be benefitted by the skill and talents of persons less aristocratic, and that the country thinks so likewise.
I think that to secure the due freedom of representa- tion, and to defend the poor voter from the chance of intimidation, the ballot is the best safeguard we know of, and would vote most hopefully for that measure. I would have the suffrage amended in nature, as well as in numbers, and hope to see many educated classes represented who have now no voice in elections. . . .
The usefulness of a member of Parliament is best tested at home ; and should you think fit to elect me as your representative, I promise to use my utmost endeavour to increase and advance the social happi- ness, the knowledge, and the power of the people.
Edward Cardwell was the Tory candidate, and, as was only to be expected from two such men, the contest was conducted with much courtesy. When Lord Monck came down to address the electors for the Peelite candi- date, and met Thackeray, he said, " May the best man win." " I hope not," said the other, smiling. Lord Monck in his speeches spoke in high terms of Thack- eray ; and the latter on the hustings chided his

supporters for hissing when the name of his oppo- nent was mentioned. A characteristic anecdote was told by a friend of Thackeray's, who was staying with him at the hotel. One day during the election he was looking out of a window when he saw a crowd hustling and hooting some of Mr. Cardwell's supporters. Thackeray started up with an oath, and rushed down the street, notwithstanding the efforts of some old electioneerers who wished to hold him back. He was next seen towering above the crowd, dealing about him right and left, in defence of his opponent's partisans, and in defiance of his own friends.1
Thackeray fought hard but, probably owing to the fact that he supported the Sunday opening of museums — a measure for which the country was not then ready — he was defeated by 1085 to 1018 votes. The result was eminently satisfactory : Cardwell went to the House of Commons, where he was the right man in the right place ; and Thackeray returned to his desk. It is extremely unlikely that Thackeray would have achieved any remarkable success in the House of Commons. His candid friend, Anthony Trollope, believed he would have been a disastrous failure ; but that is an extreme to which it is unnecessary to subscribe. It must be admitted, however, that there was much against him. His health was bad ; his habits irregular ; and, though he would have done his duty, it would doubt- less soon have become irksome to him. He was not a man unhesitatingly to have obeyed the orders of his party's whip ; he was the very last person in the world

to have believed his friends to be always right, and his opponents always wrong ; and he would certainly have voted against his party whenever he thought they were in error. By his defeat the party whip was saved much annoyance. Anyhow, whether as a politician he had been good, bad, or indifferent, with regard to his defeat, remembering that it left him free to pursue his literary labours, we can only remark, as did Carlyle to his wife after the lady who claimed to be the prototype of Blanche Amory had paid a visit to Cheyne Walk and left, " Oh ! my dear, we cannot be sufficiently grateful ! "
Come down and make a speech, and tell them who I am [Thackeray wrote to Dickens from Oxford], for I doubt whether more than two of the electors have ever heard of me, and I think there may be as many as six or eight who have heard of you.
This was probably the last friendly letter exchanged between the two novelists, for in the following year they quarrelled. The cause of the quarrel was Edmund Yates, who in 1858 printed in his paper Town Talk a character-sketch of Thackeray : —
Mr. Thackeray is forty-six years old, though from the silvery whiteness of his hair he appears some- what older. He is very tall, standing upwards of six feet two inches ; and as he walks erect, his height makes him conspicuous in every assembly. His face is bloodless, and not particularly expressive, but remarkable for the fracture of the bridge of the nose, the result of an accident in youth. He wears a small grey whisker, but otherwise is clean shaven. No one meeting him could fail to recognise in him a gentle- man : his bearing is cold and uninviting, his style of conversation either openly cynical or affectedly
i855] "TOWN TALK" 19
good-natured and benevolent ; his bonhommie is forced, his wit biting, his pride easily touched — but his appearance is invariably that of the cool, suave, well-bred gentleman, who, whatever may be rankling within, suffers no surface display of his emotion. . . . His success, commencing with "Vanity Fair," culminated with his " Lectures on the English Humourists of the Eighteenth Century," which were attended by all the court and fashion of London. The prices were extravagant, the Lecturer's adula- tion of birth and position was extravagant, the success was extravagant. No one succeeds better than Mr. Thackeray in cutting his coat according to his cloth : here he flattered the aristocracy, but when he crossed the Atlantic, George Washington became the idol of his worship, the u Four Georges" the objects of his bitterest attacks. These last-named Lectures have been dead failures in England, though as literary compositions they are most excellent. Our own opinion is, that his success is on the wane ; his writings never were understood or appreciated even by the middle classes ; the aristocracy have been alienated by his American onslaught on their body, and the educated and refined are not suffi- ciently numerous to constitute an audience ; more- over, there is a want of heart in all he writes, which is not to be balanced by the most brilliant sarcasm and the most perfect knowledge of the workings of the human heart.
The article was certainly in bad taste, and some of it mighty offensive. Thackeray, who hated "per- sonal " journalism at all times, saw in this particular instance a gratuitous insult from a young fellow-club- man to whom he had held out a friendly hand, and he did not hesitate to express his indignation.
I have received two numbers of a little paper called "Town Talk," containing notices respecting
20 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853-
myself, of which, as I learn from the best authority, you are the writer [he wrote to Yates on June 14]. In the first article of " Literary Talk " you think fit to publish an incorrect account of my private dealings with my publishers. In this week's num- ber appears a so-called " Sketch " containing a description of my manners, person, and conversa- tion, and an account of my literary works, which of course you are at liberty to praise or condemn as a literary critic. But you state, with regard to my conversation, that it is either " frankly cynical or affectedly benevolent and good-natured " ; and of my works, that in some I showed "an extra- vagant adulation of rank and position," which in other lectures ("as I know how to cut my coat according to my cloth ") became the object of my bitterest attack. As I understand your phrases, you impute insincerity to me when I speak good- naturedly in private ; assign dishonourable motives to me for sentiments which I have delivered in public, and charge me with advancing statements which I have never delivered at all.
Had your remarks been written by a person un- known to me, I should have noticed them no more than other calumnies ; but as we have shaken hands more than once, and met hitherto on friendly terms
(you may ask one of your employers, Mr. ,
of , whether I did not speak of you lately in the
most friendly manner), I am obliged to take notice of articles which 1 consider to be not offensive and unfriendly merely, but slanderous and untrue.
We meet at a Club, where, before you were born, I believe, I and other gentlemen have been in the habit of talking without any idea that our conversa- tion would supply paragraphs for professional vendors of " Literary Talk" ; and I don't remember that out of that Club I have ever exchanged six words with you. Allow me to inform you that the talk which you have heard there is not intended for newspaper remark ; and to beg — as I have a right to do — that you will refrain from printing comments

upon my private conversations ; that you will forego discussions, however blundering, upon my private affairs ; and that you will henceforth please to con- sider any question of my personal truth and sincerity as quite out of the province of your criticism.1
The castigation was severe ; but it was in some measure deserved. Yates, however, was no coward, and he immediately wrote an apologetic reply, in which, however, while urging that he had not meant all that Thackeray had read in his article, he reminded him of similar misdemeanours committed against fellow-clubmen in his youth — against Dr. Lardner and Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton in the " Yellowplush Papers " ; against Stephen Price, Wyndham Smith, and Captain Granby Calcroft, in the "Book of Snobs " ; and, above all, in later days, against Andrew Arcedeckne in "Pendennis." Had this letter been sent, the matter would probably have dropped, and the men, in course of time, might have come together again. Unfortunately Yates showed his letter to Dickens, who considered it too flippant, and drafted another, which was neither dignified nor wise to be sent by a man who was an offender.
Yates's reply, as amended by Dickens, infuriated Thackeray, who sent the correspondence to the Com- mittee of the Garrick Club, and appealed to them
to decide whether the complaints I have against Mr. Yates are not well founded, and whether the practice of publishing such articles as that which I enclose will not be fatal to the comfort of the Club, and is not intolerable in a society of gentlemen.
1 J. C. Hotten : Thackeray, pp. 159-161.
22 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853- Here, it must be admitted, Thackeray put himself in the wrong, for, despite the provocation he had received, it was an extreme and perhaps unjustifiable step, as, indeed, Thackeray subsequently saw, for years later he told Hamstede, the honorary secretary of "Our Club," that "he had already driven one man out of a club for a personal reason, and was not so satisfied with the consequences of the affair as to be in a humour to repeat the operation."1
Yates protested that the Committee was incompetent to enter into the matter since there was no mention of the Club in the article, but the objection was over- ruled, and the offender was called upon to apologise to Thackeray or resign his membership. Yates, after consulting Dickens, John Forster, W. H. Wills, and Albert Smith, determined to appeal to a General Meeting. This was summoned for July 10, and, while neither Thackeray nor Yates was present, the latter sent a letter to be read, in which he expressed his willingness to express regret "for any unpleasant feeling that I may have awakened in the Club by the publication of the unfortunate article " ; but he added that he considered Thackeray had placed it out of his power to apologise to him. In spite of the efforts of Dickens and Wilkie Collins, backed by Robert Bell, Samuel Lover, Palgrave Simpson, Sir James Fer- guson, and others, the resolution to support the Com- mittee was carried by seventy against forty-six. Yates was allowed until July 20 to apologise, and then, no communication being received from him, the Secretary of the Club wrote to inform him that the Committee

had erased his name from the list of members. There the matter rested for some months, when Dickens reopened it by offering his services as a mediator. The correspondence explains itself.

Tavistock Square, London, W.C., Wednesday, 24/A November, 1858.
My dear Thackeray,
Without a word of prelude, I wish this note to revert to a subject on which I said six words to you at the Athenaeum when I last saw you.
Coming home from my country work, I find Mr. Edwin James's opinion taken on this painful question of the Garrick and Mr. Edmund Yates. I find it strong on the illegality of the Garrick pro- ceeding. Not to complicate this note or give it a formal appearance, I forbear from copying the opinion ; but I have asked to see it, and I have it, and I want to make no secret from you of a word of it.
I find Mr. Edwin James retained on the one side ; I hear and read of the Attorney-General being retained on the other. Let me, in this state of things, ask you a plain question.
Can any conference be held between me, as representing Mr. Yates, and an appointed friend of yours, as representing you, with the hope and pur- pose of some quiet accommodation of this deplorable matter, which will satisfy the feelings of all con- cerned ?
It is right that, in putting this to you, I should tell you that Mr. Yates, when you first wrote to him, brought your letter to me. He had recently done me a manly service I can never forget, in some private distress of mine (generally within your knowledge), and he naturally thought of me as his friend in an emergency. I told him that his article
24 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853-
was not to be defended ; but I confirmed him in his opinion that it was not reasonably possible for him to set right what was amiss, on the receipt of a letter couched in the very strong terms you had employed. When you appealed to the Garrick Com- mittee and they called their General Meeting, I said at that meeting that you and I had been on good terms for many years, and that I was very sorry to find myself opposed to you ; but that I was clear that the Committee had nothing on earth to do with it, and that in the strength of my conviction I should go against them.
If this mediation that I have suggested can take place, I shall be heartily glad to do my best in it — and God knows in no hostile spirit towards any one, least of all to you. If it cannot take place, the thing is at least no worse than it was ; and you will burn this letter, and I will burn your answer.
Yours faithfully,
Charles Dickens. W. M. Thackeray, Esq.1

Dear Dickens,
I grieve to gather from your letter that you were Mr. Yates's adviser in the dispute between me and him. His letter was the cause of my appeal to the Garrick Club for protection from insults against which I had no other remedy.
I placed my grievance before the Committee of the Club as the only place where I have been accus- tomed to meet Mr. Yates. They gave their opinion of his conduct and of the reparation which lay in his power. Not satisfied with their sentence, Mr. Yates called for a General Meeting ; and, the meeting which he had called having declared against him, he declines the jurisdiction which he had asked for, and says he will have recourse to lawyers.

1855] DICKENS v. THACKERAY 25
You say that Mr. Edwin James is strongly of opinion that the conduct of the Club is illegal. On this point I can give no sort of judgment : nor can I conceive that the club will be frightened, by the opinion of any lawyer, out of their own sense of the justice and honour which ought to obtain among gentlemen.
Ever since I submitted my case to the Club, I have had, and can have, no part in the dispute. It is for them to judge if any reconcilement is possible with your friend. I subjoin the copy of a letter which I wrote to the Committee, and refer you to them for the issue. Yours, &c,

Gentlemen, N(yv- 28» l858.
I have this day received a communication from Mr. Charles Dickens, relative to the dispute which has been so long pending, in which he says: —
"Can any conference be held between me as representing Mr. Yates, and any appointed friend of yours, as representing you, in the hope and purpose of some quiet accommodation of this deplorable matter, which will satisfy the feelings of all parties?"
I have written to Mr. Dickens to say, that since the commencement of this business, I have placed myself entirely in the hands of the Committee of the Garrick, and am still as ever prepared to abide by any decision at which they may arrive on the subject. I conceive I cannot, if I would, make the dispute once more personal, or remove it out of the court to which I submitted it for arbitration.
If you can devise any peaceful means for ending it, no one will be better pleased than
Your obliged faithful servant,
W. M. Thackeray.
The Committee of the Garrick Club.2 1 J. C. Hotten : Thackeray, pp. 163-164. 2 Ibid., pp. 164-165.
26 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853- The feud between Thackeray and Yates did not end here. Thackeray, it was said, made veiled allusions to the novelist in "The Virginians," and the other fed the flame by sarcastic reference to his opponent in the Illustrated Times. When the Cornhill Magazine was established, however, Yates made an overture of peace by sending a poem as a contribution ; but this was merely answered by a curt note from a clerk stating he was " desired by Mr. Thackeray to return the enclosed." For this slight Yates revenged himself by a spiteful article in the New York Times, which disgusted Dickens, and drew from Thackeray a reply in "On Screens in Dining Rooms."
It was always the impression of Yates, who it is but fair to mention, on hearing of Thackeray's death, wrote a charming obituary notice of his foe, that after the first Thackeray was more angry with Dickens than with him, and that the affair, much to his detriment, was made a trial of strength between the novelists. Jeaffreson supports this opinion by declaring that Thackeray said to him, "You must not think, young 'un, that I am quarrelling with Mr. Yates. I am hitting the man behind him."1 This unfortunate quarrel has led to much speculation as to whether any real friend- ship existed between the rivals — for as rivals they will be considered to the end of the chapter. If Thackeray envied Dickens his early success and greater popu- larity, as he may well have done, at least he gave no sign of it : indeed, he never missed an opportunity to pay graceful tribute to the other's books, and many appreciations of the author of "Pickwick" may be

culled alike from his writings, his lectures, and his correspondence.
Get " David Copperfield," by Jingo, it's beautiful ; it beats the yellow chap (" Pendennis ") of this month hollow ; '
he wrote to the Brookfields ; and of the same book he said in Punch :
How beautiful it is, how charmingly fresh and simple ! In those admirable touches of tender humour — and I shall call humour, Bob, a mixture of love and wit — who can equal this great genius? There are little words and phrases in his book which are like personal benefits to the reader.2
Of " A Christmas Carol " he wrote : " It seems to me a national benefit, and to every man or woman who reads it a personal kindness " ; and he referred to "The Battle of Life" and the other Christmas stories as " these charming little books of Mr. Dickens's which are chorales for Christmas executed in prose." In the lecture on " Charity and Humour," which he delivered in England in 1855, he introduced the following story against himself.
All children ought to love Dickens ; I know two that do, and read his books ten times for once they peruse the dismal preachments of their father. I know one who, when she is happy, reads "Nicholas Nickleby " ; when she is un- happy, reads "Nicholas Nickleby"; when she is tired, reads "Nicholas Nickleby"; when she is in bed, reads "Nicholas Nickleby"; when she has nothing to do, reads "Nicholas Nickleby"; and when she has finished the book, reads " Nicholas

Nickleby " again. This candid young critic, at ten years of age, said, " I like Mr. Dickens's books better than your books, papa," and frequently ex- pressed her desire that the latter author should write a book like one of Mr. Dickens's books. Who can ?
But Thackeray, though keenly appreciative of the other, was too clear-sighted a critic unduly to depreciate his own writing, or overrate Dickens'. Indeed, he was constrained to admit that Dickens was not a deep thinker, though he had "a clear and bright-eyed intel- ligence, which is better than philosophy : I think he is equal to Fielding and Smollett — at any rate to Smol- lett : he is not such a scholar as Fielding was." This, then, was the greatest difference between them, that other things being equal, Thackeray's literary culture was far wider. He was thereby enabled thoroughly to appreciate the many beauties of Dickens's works. Dickens, unfortunately, was not a discerning critic of writings other than those of his own kind, and he read little and thought less of the books of the master stylist of his day. " He knows that my books are a protest against his — that if the one set are true, the other must be false," so said Thackeray ; and it may confidently be assumed that he had not much doubt as to which set were right.
CHAPTER XX
THE CORNHILL MAGAZINE (1860-1863)
Thackeray undertakes to write another novel — various plans for it — " The Virginians " — his desire to found a magazine — the early shilling magazines — accepts an offer to contribute novels to the Cornhill Magazine — and later is invited to edit it — goes abroad — his circular letter to likely contributors— asks Longfellow to write for it — "the regular cabs " — contributors to the Cornhill Magazine under Thack- eray's editorship — success of the venture — "On Some Late Great Victories" — Thackeray as editor — " Lovel the Widower" and " Framley Parsonage" — he resigns the editorship — refuses Mrs. Browning's " Lord Walter's Wife" — " Thorns in the Cushion" — his kindness — his earnings in his last years — his contributions to the Cornhill Magazine.
AFTER returning from the second visit to America,
/ ^ Thackeray undertook to write another novel
/ %^ to be published in numbers by Messrs.
Bradbury and Evans ; but when he entered
into this engagement he had not made up his mind
what it would be. He began a story, was dissatisfied
with it, and burnt what he had written. " I can't jump
further than I did in 'The Newcomes,' but I want to
jump as far," he told Whitwell Elwin ; adding that
the manuscript he had destroyed ran in "the old track,"
and lamenting that he had exhausted all the types of
character with which he was familiar. He thought of
a story in the days of Dr. Johnson, but abandoned the
scheme ; and then for a moment reverted to his hint in
29
30 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1860-
"The Newcomes " that one day he would relate the history of " J. J." " I intended to show J. J. married, and to exhibit him with the trials of a wife and children. I meant to make him in love with another man's wife, and recover him through his attachment for the little ones."1 Eventually he turned to the idea that he had mentioned in America to John Esten Cooke. " I shall lay the scene of the novel in Virginia. There will be two brothers who will be prominent characters ; one will take the English side in the war, the other the American, and they will both be in love with the same girl. ... I shall give it the title of ' The Two Vir- ginians.'" The first number of "The Virginians" was issued in November 1857, and the novel appeared month by month until October 1859.
It had long been Thackeray's ambition to establish a magazine, as Ainsworth had done, and Douglas Jerrold and Cruikshank, Hood and Dickens. The failure of the periodicals with which he had in earlier days been connected had in no wise damped his ardour. Two years after the failure of the Constitutional he had asked Jerdan if the Literary Gazette was for sale, and about the time "Esmond" was published he had suggested to George Smith a small daily print after the style of the Tatler, to be called Fair Play. He was now in i860 to satisfy his ambition in this direction.
In those days the price of periodical literature was high, and the only shilling monthlies had been Douglas Jerrold's Shilling Magazine, long since defunct, the series of booklets, edited by Edmund Yates, called
1 Whitvvell Elwin : Some Eighteenth Century Men of Letters. (Memoir. By his Son.)

the Train, and its rival, the Idler, the principal sup- porter of which was James Hannay. The publishing house of Messrs. Smith, Elder and Co. thought the time ripe to found a high-class shilling magazine, and began to make preparations accordingly. George Smith deemed it highly desirable to secure for the first numbers a novel by Thackeray, and he offered to pay at the rate of £350 per monthly instalment for the serial, American, and colonial rights and the edition in volume form at the original price : the profits on cheaper editions to be divided. The offer was accepted, and the founder of the periodical then set out to find an editor. He had made up his mind that Thomas Hughes, the author of "Tom Brown's Schooldays," was the man ; but when he approached Hughes he learnt that the latter had undertaken to contribute to the forthcoming shilling Macmillari's Magazine, and was unable to accept any offer for a similar production. After further consideration Smith offered Thackeray the editorship at a salary of ,£1000 a year, and the offer was accepted.
Thackeray, however, was busy with "The Vir- ginians," and it was decided not to bring out the new magazine until January i860. The novel was finished on the previous September 7 at Folkestone — " I am surprised I have finished ' The Virginians ' so well — and what a load off my mind ! " he announced the fact from Folkestone to George Smith. Thackeray then went abroad with his daughters, passing a week in September

He called on St. Lucius to help him to find a title, and his prayer was effective, for a few days later he wrote to suggest the Cornhill Magazine : " it has," he said, "a sound of jollity and abundance about it."2 The suggestion could not be improved upon, and this title was used for the magazine.
Our Store-House being in Cornhill, we date and name our Magazine from its place of publication [he wrote in a circular letter sent to George Henry Lewes and other likely contributors]. We might have assumed a title more startling : for example, 1 'The Thames on Fire" was a name suggested; and, placarded in red letters about the City and Country, it would no doubt have excited some curiosity. But, on going to London Bridge, the expectant rustic would have found the stream rolling on its accustomed course and would have turned away angry at being hoaxed. Sensible people are not to be misled by fine prospectuses and sounding names ; the present writer has been for five-and- twenty years before the world, which has taken his measure pretty accurately. We are too long ac- quainted to try and deceive one another ; and, were I to propose any such astounding feat as that above announced, I know quite well how the schemer would be received, and the scheme would end.
You, then, who ask what the Cornhill Magazine is to be, and what sort of articles you shall supply for it ; if you were told that the Editor, known hitherto

only by his published writings, was in reality a great reformer, philosopher, and wiseacre, about to ex- pound prodigious doctrines and truths until now unrevealed, to guide and direct the peoples, to pull down the existing order of things, to edify new social or political structures, and, in a word, to set the Thames on Fire ; if you heard such designs as- cribed to him — visum teneatis? You know I have no such pretensions : but, as an Author who has written long, and had the good fortune to find a very great number of readers, I think I am not mistaken in supposing they give me credit for ex- perience, observation, and for having lived with educated people in many countries, and seen the world in no small variety ; and, having heard me soliloquise, with so much kindness and favour, and say my own say about life and men and women, they will not be unwilling to try me as Conductor of a Concert, in which I trust many skilful performers will take part.
We hope for a large number of readers, and must seek, in the first place, to amuse and interest them. Fortunately for some folks, novels are as daily bread to others ; and fiction of course must form a part, but only a part of our entertainment. We want, on the other hand, as much reality as possible — discus- sion, and narrative of events interesting to the public, personal adventure and observation, familiar reports of scientific discovery, description of Social Institutions — quicquid agunt homines — a Great Eastern, a battle in China, a Racecourse, a popular Preacher — there is hardly any subject we don't want to hear about, from lettered and instructed men who are competent to speak on it.
I read the other day in the Illustrated London News (in my own room at home), that I was at that moment at Bordeaux, purchasing first-class claret for first-class contributors, and second-class for those of inferior cru. Let me continue this hospitable simile ; and say that at our contributors' table, I do not ask or desire to shine especially myself, but to take my

It may be a Foxhunter who has the turn to speak ; or a Geologist, Engineer, Manufacturer, Member of the House of Commons, Lawyer, Chemist — what you please. If we can only get people to tell what they know, pretty briefly and good-humouredly, and not in a manner obtrusively didactic — what a pleasant ordinary we may have, and how gladly folks will come to it ! If our friends have good manners, a good education, and write in good English, the company, I am sure, will be all the better pleased ; and the guests, whatever their rank, age, sex be, will be glad to be addressed by well-educated gentlemen and women. A professor ever so learned, a curate in his country retirement, an artisan after work-hours, a schoolmaster or mistress when the children are gone home, or the young ones themselves when their lessons are over, may like to hear what the world is talking about, or be brought into friendly communication with persons whom the world knows. There are points upon which agreement is impossible, and on these we need not touch. At our social table, we shall sup- pose the ladies and children always present ; we shall not set rival politicians by the ears ; we shall listen to every guest who has an apt word to say ; and, I hope, induce clergymen of various denomina- tions to say grace in their turn. The kindly fruits of the earth, which grow for all — may we not enjoy them with friendly hearts ? The field is immensely wide ; the harvest perennial, and rising everywhere ; we can promise competent fellow labourers a wel- come and a good wage ; and hope a fair custom from the public for our stores at the Corn/it'll Magazine.1
Having settled the title of the magazine and the style of the contributions, Thackeray cast around for

Has Hiawatha ever a spare shaft in his quiver, which he can shoot across the Atlantic? How proud I should be if I could have a contribution or two from you for our Comhill Magazine.
I should like still better to be driving to Cam- bridge in the snow, and expecting a supper there. Two or three months ago I actually thought such a scheme was about to come off. I intended to shut up my desk for a year — not write a line — and go on my travels. But the gods willed otherwise. I am pressed into the service of this Magazine, and en- gaged to write ever so much more for the next three years. Then, if I last so long, I shall be free of books and publishers ; and hope to see friends to whose acquaintance I look back with — I can't tell you how much gratitude and kind feeling.1
The Comhill Magazine, like the Pall Mall Gazette in " Pendennis," was to be written by scholars and gentlemen. New blood was eagerly sought by the editor and the proprietor, but with very little success ; and at the inaugural dinner given to the contributors by George Smith at his house in Gloucester Place, Hyde Park, the familiar faces were everywhere to be observed. "I see," said Thackeray, " there are only a certain number of regular cabs upon the stand, and whether they are bad or good, rickety or otherwise, we must make the best of them."

Of the first number 1 10,000 copies were sold, of the second over 100,000 ; and some months later, when the circulation had reached its normal level, 80,000 to 85,000 were required to supply the demand. Immediately after the issue of No. 1, Thackeray went to Paris — as it happened, for the last time. He had been overwhelmed with manu- scripts, not only at the office — which was all very well — but actually at "the editor's private residence to which, in spite of prayers, entreaties, commands, and threats, authors, and ladies especially,"1 would send their communications. Even against this he held up manfully ; but when the intending contributors began to call on him in Onslow Square, then, he said, he packed a portmanteau and ran away. "The darlings demanded that I should rewrite, if I could not under- stand their nonsense, and put their halting lines into proper form. I was so appalled when they set upon me with their ■ ipics ' and their ' ipicacas ' that you might have knocked me down with a feather, sir. It was insupportable, and I fled away to France."

i863] SUCCESS OF THE MAGAZINE 37
This he told Fields, the American publisher, who has further confided to the public how, when he called on Thackeray at his hotel in the Rue de la Paix, he found him almost delirious with joy at the news from London of the immense sale of the magazine and full of enthusiasm for George Smith. " London is not big enough to contain me now, and I am obliged to add Paris to my residence ! Great Heavens " (said he, throwing up his long arms) " where will this tremen- dous circulation stop? Who knows but that I shall have to add Vienna and Rome to my whereabouts ? If the worst comes to the worst, New York also may fall into my clutches, and only the Rocky Mountains may be able to stop my progress."
u Those days in Paris were simply tremendous," says Fields. " We dined at all possible and impossible places together. We walked round and round the glittering courts of the Palais Royal . . . and all my efforts were necessary to restrain him from rushing in and ordering a pocketful of diamonds and 'other trifles ' as Thackeray called them ; 'for,' said he, 'how can I spend the princely income which Smith allows me for editing the Comhill unless I begin instantly some- where?' If he saw a group of three or four persons talking together in an excited way ... he would whisper to me with immense gesticulation, 'There, there, you see, the news has reached Paris, and per- haps the number has gone up since my last accounts from London.' His spirits during these few days were colossal, and he told me he found it impossible to sleep for counting subscribers."
Thackeray in mock-heroic strains expressed his de-
38 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1860-
light at the success of the magazine in a " Roundabout Paper" that appeared in it, " On Some Late Great Victories " :
The Victories which I wish especially to com- memorate in this paper are the six great, complete, prodigious, and undeniable, victories, achieved by the corps which the editor of the Cornhill Magazine has the honour to command. . . . Up the Hill of Ludgate, around the Pauline Square, by the side of Chepe, until it reaches our own hill of Corn, the procession passes. The Imperator is bowing to the people. ... I fancy the Imperator standing on the steps of the Temple (erected by Titus) on the Mons Frumentarius, and addressing the citizens. " Quirites ! " he says, "in our campaign of six months we have been engaged six times, and in each action we have taken near upon a hundred thousand prisoners. Go to ! What are other maga- zines compared to our magazine ? (Sound trumpets.) What banner is there like that of Cornhill? You philosopher yonder !" (He shakes under his mantle.) " Do you know what it is to have a hundred and ten thousand readers? a hundred thousand readers? a hundred thousand buyers?'''' (Cries of "No!" 1 ' Pooh ! " " Yes, upon my honour ! " "O come ! " and murmurs of applause and derision.) "I say more than a hundred thousand purchasers — and I believe as much as a million readers?" (Immense sensation.) "To these have we said an unkind word ? We have enemies ; have we hit them an unkind blow? Have we sought to pursue party aims, to forward private jobs, to advance selfish schemes? The only persons to whom, wittingly, we have given pain are some who have volunteered for our corps — and of these volunteers we have had thousands.''' (Murmurs and grumbles.) "What com- mander, citizens, could place all these men — could make officers of all these men ? " (cries of " No, no ! " and laughter), "could say, 'I accept this recruit, though he is too short for our standard, because
i863] THACKERAY AS EDITOR 39
he is poor, and has a mother at home who wants bread ? ' could enrol this other, who is too weakly to bear arms, because he says, ' Look, sir, I shall be stronger anon ' ? The leader of such an army as ours must select his men, not because they are good and virtuous, but because they are strong and capable. To these our ranks are ever open ; and in addition to the warriors who surround me " — (the generals look proudly conscious) — "I tell you, citizens, I am in treaty with other great and most tremendous champions, who will march by the side of our veterans to the achievement of fresh victories. Now, blow trumpets ! Bang, ye gongs ! and drum- mers, drub the thundering skins ! Generals and chiefs, we go to sacrifice to the gods."
The question with which a biographer of Thackeray is concerned in the matter of the Comhill Magazine, is how far the editor was responsible for the success of the venture. George Smith has avowed that the reason he did not think of offering the editorship in the first place to Thackeray was because he did not "attribute to him the business qualities which go to make a good editor," and Anthony Trollope went so far as to say that "a man so susceptible, so prone to work by fits and starts, so unmethodical, could not have been a good editor." That Thackeray was not a man of business there can be no doubt, and that George Smith had himself largely to thank for the success of the Comhill Magazine cannot be questioned; but as the tree is judged by its fruit, so must the editor be judged by his periodical, and perhaps there has never been any monthly more brilliant than the Comhill Magazine when Thackeray was sitting in the editorial chair. It is easy to admit he was unmethodical as an
40 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1860-
editor, since his want of method as a writer is an open secret ; but then much admirable work is sometimes done by the unmethodical.
Thackeray, however, was not quite so unmethodical as Trollope thought. That latter most delightful story- teller once stated that the editor had intended in the first number of the magazine to print one of his great novels, but that he put off writing it until too late, and that at the eleventh hour he, Trollope, was asked to write a story. " * Lovel the Widower' was commenced at the same time as 'Framley Parsonage,' " he continued, " but ' Lovel the Widower' was not sub- stantial enough to appear as the principal joint at the banquet." x This was an amiable delusion on Trollope's part. He had written to Thackeray offering to con- tribute some short stories, and to his surprise received in reply an invitation to contribute a novel to begin in the first number.
Smith and Elder have sent you their proposals ; and the business part done, let me come to the pleasure, and say how very glad indeed I shall be to have you as a co-operator in our new magazine [Thackeray wrote to him on October 28, 1859]. And looking over the annexed programme, you will see whether you can't help us in many ways besides tale-telling. Whatever a man knows about life and its doings, that let us hear about. You must have tossed a good deal about the world, and have count- less sketches in your memory and your portfolio. Please to think if you can furbish up any of these besides a novel. When events occur, and you have a good lively tale, bear this in mind. One of our chief objects in this magazine is the getting out of novel spinning, and back into the world. Don't

understand me to disparage our craft, especially your wares. I often say I am like the pastrycook, and don't care for tarts, but prefer bread and cheese ; but the public love the tarts (luckily for us), and we must bake and sell them. There was quite an excite- ment in my family one evening when Paterfamilias (who goes to sleep on a novel almost always when he tries it after dinner) came downstairs into the drawing-room wide awake and calling for the second volume of "The Three Clerks." I hope the Corn- hill Magazine will have as pleasant a story.1
Thackeray, however, had made no default, for " Lovel the Widower" was the story he had intended to contribute, and the invitation to Trollope arose from the proprietor's belief that a second serial would strengthen the magazine. " Framley Parsonage " was given the place of honour in the new periodical, indeed, and it was this that led Trollope to a mistaken conclu- sion ; but that was by Thackeray's own arrangement on grounds of courtesy. "He would not claim the first place in his own magazine," George Smith has explained. "He looked upon himself as a host, and upon Trollope as his guest."2
Though Thackeray contributed to the Cornhill Maga- zine until his death, he retired from the editorship in April 1862, when, in its pages, he bade farewell to his contributors : —
Ladies and gentlemen (who will continue, in spite of the standing notice below, to send papers to the Editor's private residence), perhaps you will direct the postman to some other house, when you learn

that the editor of the Cornhill Magazine no longer lives in mine.
My esteemed successor lives at Number — , but I will not intrude upon the poor man's brief interval of quiet. He will have troubles enough in that thorn- cushioned Editorial Chair, which is forwarded to him this day by the Parcels (Happy) Delivery Company.
In our first number, Ladies and Gentlemen, I, your obedient servant, likened himself to the captain of a ship, to which and whom I wished a pleasant voyage. Pleasant ! Those who have travelled on shipboard know what a careworn, oppressed, uncom- fortable man the captain is. Meals disturbed, quiet impossible, rest interrupted ; such is the lot of cap- tains. This one resigns his commission. I had rather have a quiet life than gold-lace and epaulets ; and deeper than ever did plummet sound, I fling my speaking-trumpet. Once, in a voyage to America, I met a sea-captain who was passenger in the ship which he formerly commanded. No man could be more happy, cheerful, courteous than this. He rode through the gale with the most perfect confidence in the ship and its captain ; he surveyed the storm as being another gentleman's business ; and his great delight was to be called at his watch to invoke a blessing on the steward's boy who woke him, and to turn round in his crib and go to sleep again. Let my successor command the Cornhill, giving me always a passage on board ; and if the printer's boy rings at my door of an early morning with a message that there are three pages wanting or four too much, I will send out my benediction to the printer's boy and take t'other half-hour's doze.
Though Editor no more, I hope long to remain a contributor to my friend's Magazine. I believe my own special readers will agree that my books will not suffer when their Author is released from the daily task of reading, accepting, refusing, losing and finding the works of other people. To say No has often cost me a morning's peace and a day's work. I tremble recenti metu. Oh, those hours of madness
i863] RESIGNS EDITORSHIP 43
spent in searching for Louisa's lost lines to her dead Piping Bullfinch, for Nhoj Senoj's mislaid Essay! I tell them for the last time the (late) Editor will not be responsible for rejected communications, and herewith send off the Chair and the great Cornhill Magazine Tin-box, with its load of care.
Whilst the present tale of "Philip" is passing through the press I am preparing another, on which I have worked at intervals for many years past, and which I hope to introduce in the ensuing year ; and I have stipulated for the liberty of continuing the little Essays which have amused the public and the writer, and which I propose to contribute from time to time to the pages of the Cornhill Magazine.
The reason usually assigned as the cause of Thack- eray's resignation is that he found the work too trouble- some. He made it the harder by his inability to say "No" curtly, and it was terrible to him to have to refuse to print the work of a friend. It cost him hours of agony to write to decline Mrs. Browning's poem, 11 Lord Walter's Wife," which he did not think suitable for the Cornhill Magazine. He was, indeed, too sensi- tive to do the work with comfort.
Ah me [he cried] we wound where we never in- tended to strike ; we create anger where we never meant harm ; and these thoughts are the thorns in our cushion. Out of mere malignity, I suppose, there is no man who would like to make enemies. But here in this editorial business you can't do other- wise, and a queer, sad, strange, bitter thought it is that must ever cross the mind of many a public man. Do what I will, be innocent or spiteful, be generous or cruel, there are A and B, and C and D who will hate me to the end of the chapter — to the chapter's end — to the finis of the page — when hate and envy, fortune and disappointment, shall be over.1

" How can I go into society?" he said. "I dined out the other day, and at the table were four gentlemen whose masterpieces of literature I had declined with thanks." The letters that accompanied the proffered contributions were frequently of a nature to distress him. Referring to one of these, sent with a poem,
Here is the case [he said] put with true female logic. "I am poor; I am good; I am ill; I work hard ; I have a sick mother and hungry brothers and sisters dependent on me. You can help us if you will." And then I look at the paper with the thousandth part of a faint hope that it may be suitable, and I find it won't do ; and I knew it wouldn't do ; and why is this poor lady to appeal to my pity, and bring her little ones kneeling to my bedside, and calling for bread which I can give them if I choose ? No day passes but that argument ad misericordiam is used. Day and night that sad voice is crying out for help. Thrice it appealed to me yesterday. Twice this morning it cried to me : and I have no doubt when I go to get my hat I shall find it with its piteous fate and its pale family about it, waiting for me in the hall. One of the immense advantages which women have over our sex is, that they actually like to read these letters. Like letters ? O mercy on us ! Before I was an editor I did not like the postman much : — but now!1
Well, the poem was useless ; it was entirely without merit or value, and could never appear in the Cornhill Magazine, or, for the matter of that, in any other magazine. Yet the manuscript in question — and who knows how many others also — because of the pathetic letter, was probably never returned to its authoress, who, instead, received a brief and formal note. I can see the

i863] HIS GENEROSITY 45
dear, great man writing it in secret, and hurriedly thrusting the letter into a drawer at the sound of approaching footsteps, stating that the editor of the Comhill Magazine had much pleasure in accepting the little verses, and enclosing a cheque, quite out of pro- portion to the length, let alone the merits of the poem. And if that cheque could be shown we should notice that, by some error, it was drawn on Mr. Thackeray's own banking-account, and not on that of Messrs. Smith, Elder and Co., the proprietors of the magazine. And then, too, the poem would never appear in the periodi- cal. Still more strange, and most astonishing of all, when his successor examined the manuscripts accepted, and not yet printed by his predecessor, there would be no trace of the poem, and no record of it in the books of the firm — but then, all the world knows how un- methodical Thackeray was.
Thackeray told Mr. James Payn how a young man had sent him a long story, for which he demanded particular attention from " the greatest of novelists," upon the ground that he had a sick sister entirely dependent upon him for support, and how, touched by the appeal, he wrote to his correspondent a long letter of advice, enclosing also some pecuniary assistance. "I feel for your position," he said, "and appreciate your motive for exertion ; but I must tell you at once that you will never do anything in literature. Your contribution is worthless in every way, and it is the truest kindness, both to her for whom you are working, and to yourself, to tell you so straight. Turn your mind at once to some other industry" — and how this produced a reply couched in the most offensive terms

conceivable, and ending by telling "the greatest of novelists" that, although he had attained by good luck the top of the tree, he would one day find himself, where he deserved to be, at the bottom of it. " For my part," said Thackeray (upon Mr. Payn showing some preliminary symptoms of suffocation), "I see little to laugh at. What a stupid, ungrateful beast the man must be ! And if ever I waste another half-hour writ- ing to a creature of that sort, call me a horse, or worse ! " x
What Punch had been to Thackeray in his struggling days, the Cornhill Magazine was to him in the hour of his success. He had years before it was founded been relieved from the eternal want of pence that troubles the soul of most men of letters. " Now, the dear girls are provided for, the great anxiety is taken from my life, and I can breathe freely for the little time that is left for me to be with them," he said to Bayard Taylor after the second visit to America. He calculated his receipts from his pen in the twenty years ending in 1859 to have amounted to £32,000. "Vanity Fair" had brought in £2000, and "Esmond" about the sarfl^t "The Newcomes" £4000, and "The Virginians" £6000 ; while the profits of the lecture tours were about £9500. His annual expenses had averaged £1000, and he had contrived to save £13,000, and hoped within the next three years to replace the rest of his patrimony. Thanks to the Cornhill Magazine he did better than he expected. Apart from his novels, he received the record price for short articles, twelve guineas a page, and, when the success of his periodical was assured, the pro-

prietor most generously doubled the editorial salary. Naturally Thackeray was in high spirits.

Faithful W. M. T., A. T., and H. M. T.1
To the Comhill Magazine in its first year Thackeray contributed " Lovel the Widower" and "The Four Georges," and in 1861 began " Philip," which ran until August 1862 ; while throughout these years he wrote from time to time those inimitable little essays, the M Roundabout Papers," in which he is autobio- graphical, impersonal, fanciful, angry, tender, exulting, sad, preaching always the gospel of Love and deplor- ing the Vanitas Vanitatum. The number of the maga- zine for December 1863 on the orange-coloured fly-leaf bore the announcement that "a new serial story by W. M. Thackeray would commence early in the new year."
I intend [he had written to Motley in 1858] to write a novel of the time of Henry V, which will be my

capo tfopera, in which the ancestors of my present characters, Warringtons, Pendennises, and the rest shall be introduced. It will be a most magnificent performance, and nobody will read it.1
This idea, however, had been abandoned in favour of "Denis Duval," and that part of it which was finished appeared posthumously from March to July, 1864. It had been said that Thackeray was exhausted, and unkindly critics suggested that for the sake of his reputation he had better write no more novels : it is true that "The Virginians" and "Philip" were not on the same level as stories that came before ; but "Denis Duval" came as the answer to those who thought Thackeray was played out, for this story was nearly as good as anything he had ever done, and there are few things in his books more perfect than the description of Madame de Saverne's sorrows and mad- ness and death.

CHAPTER XXI
LAST YEARS (1862-1863)
Further reasons for Thackeray's resignation of the Corn/till Magazine — his failing health — his "dragons" — his convivial habits — his hard work — his appearance in 1858 — his standard of comfort — his weari- ness— his mode of writing — rebuilds No. 2, Palace Green — and goes to live there — the house-warming — the History of Queen Anne — realises that his days are numbered — the last months of his life — the Cruikshank Exhibition — Founder's Day at the Charterhouse, 1863 — his death — and burial.
IT was not editorial worries that induced Thack- eray to resign the editorship of the Corn/it'll Magazine so much as failing health. He was only fifty-one, but he had had many severe ill- nesses, and he had, too, an internal disease that frequently racked him with pain. He should have husbanded his strength ; but to take care of himself was the last thing he would do. He had the best medical advice, and was frequently to be seen in Sir Henry Thompson's consulting-room, but, as he said, "What is the use of advice if you don't follow it? They tell me not to drink, and I do drink. They tell me not to eat, and I do eat. In short I do everything I am not to do, and, therefore, what is to be expected ? " How true this was may be gathered from a story told by Bayard Taylor, who went with Thackeray to pay a visit to Baron Marochetti. The sculptor gave a small engrav-
II.— E 49
50 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY los- ing of Albert Durer's " St. George and the Dragon " to Thackeray, who accepted it with great pleasure, but suddenly became grave. " I shall hang it near the head of my bed, where I can see it every morning," he said. ' ' We have all our dragons to fight. Do you know yours? I know mine: I have not one, but two. Indo- lence and luxury ... I am serious. I never take up the pen without an effort. I work only from necessity. I never walk without seeing some pretty useless thing which I want to buy. Sometimes I pass the same shop window every day for months, and resist the tempta- tion and think I am safe ; then comes the day of weak- ness, and I yield. My physician tells me that I must live very simply, and not dine out so much ; but I cannot break off the agreeable habit. I shall look at this picture, and think of my dragons, though I don't expect to overcome them." Cordy Jeaffreson one day said to him, " You have drunk a good deal in your time." ''Enough to float a 74-gun ship," the novelist answered. " Since I came out of my poverty, a bottle has been my daily minimum, and on three out of every four days I have taken a second bottle. I may be called a two-bottle man ; and that takes no account of the two or three glasses of wine at midday, nor of the punches and grogs in the hours about midnight."1 Thackeray had, indeed, lived hard, especially in the years before success came to him. In the early forties Edward FitzGerald told Frederick Tennyson how their friend wrote half the day : " Reviews and newspapers all the morning ; dining, drinking, and talking of a night ; managing to preserve a fresh colour and perpetual flow

of spirits under a wear and tear of thinking and feed- ing that would have knocked up all the other men I know two years ago, at least."
This combination of work and play undermined Thackeray's health, and about the time of the publica- tion of " Vanity Fair" he told Brookfield he had something which prevented his being able to insure his life. Illness and hard work and his mode of living had worn him out prematurely, and he was an old man before his time. "He has the appearance," Motley wrote to his wife in the summer of 1858, " of a colossal infant — smooth white shiny ringletty hair, flaxen, alas ! with advancing years, a roundish face, with a little dab of a nose, upon which it is a perpetual wonder how he keeps his spectacles, a sweet but rather piping voice with something of the childish treble about it, and a very tall, slightly stooping figure."
Except in regard to the lamentable tragedy of his married life — and what a cross that was for any man to bear ! — there is no occasion to pity Thackeray. He had to work hard as a young man, and during that period he had disappointments and may well have been angry that the public did not realise that the author of "Barry Lyndon" had genius; but fame came to him at seven-and-thirty, a world-wide fame. Still, however, he worked as hard as ever : it is said because he desired to make provision for his children. That undoubtedly was his object, but it could have been achieved if he had done only half the work and lived more econom- ically. Writing to his mother he told how "Tom Carlyle lives in perfect dignity in a little £40 house at Chelsea, with a snuffy Scotch maid to open the door,
52 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1862-
and the best company in England knocking at it " ; but it was not in him to emulate the example of his great contemporary. Unfortunately for himself his standard of comfort was high, and rather than reduce this, and live more economically, he preferred to work double shifts to the end of his days.
Thackeray must have his man-servant, a big house, a good cellar, his horse, and, later, his brougham. Every man may order his life in his own way, and none have the right to blame : but because a man, to use Thackeray's expression, " takes too many crops out of his brain " to provide himself and his with luxuries, none should waste pity upon him in the matter of his labour.
As the years passed he became very weary. " All I can do now," he said towards the end of his life, " is to bring out my old puppets, and put new bits of ribbon upon them. I have told my tale in the novel depart- ment. I only repeat old things in a pleasant way, but I have nothing fresh to say. I get sick of my task when I am ill, and think ' Good Heavens ! what is all this story about ?' " Even when "Vanity Fair" had only just appeared he required rest and quiet, and he was urged by his friends to work less. One of them, indeed, went so far as to offer him facilities to do so. At last, he found he could not work at will. " My number is nearly due," he said to Miss Henrietta Corkran when he was editing the Corn/nil Magazine, " but I cannot make it come. ... I would like to rest my head in some quiet corner ; I had a nice scene this morning, and I cannot call to mind a bit of it now."
i863l METHOD OF WORK S3
There is no doubt his method of work was injurious to his health, for he could only write at high pressure. u I cannot write comfortably in my own room. I do most of my composition at hotels or at a club. There is an excitement in public places which sets my brain working. I can write anywhere better than at home, and I write less at home than anywhere. I did not write ten pages of 'The Newcomes' in that house at Brompton." He had his stated hours for writing. He would take a quiet table at the Athenaeum Club, and cover a few of those little slips of papers upon which he wrote his stories ; and later in the day he would go to the Garrick Club, and write a few more pages ; but he was easily tempted to go for a walk, or to join in an interesting conversation, and to put his sheets away until another time. " I can conceive nothing more harassing in the literary way," Motley wrote in June, 1858, to his wife, "than Thackeray's way of living from hand to mouth. I mean in regard to the way he furnishes food to the printer's devil. Here he is just finishing the number that must appear in a few days. Of course, whether ill or well, stupid or fertile, he must produce the same amount of fun, pathos, or sentiment. His gun must be regularly loaded and discharged at command. I should think it would wear his life out." It did wear his life out; and Dickens told Fields that when he looked at Thack- eray lying in his coffin, he wondered that the figure he had known in life as of such noble presence could seem so shrunken and wasted ; his hands were quite thin, like those of an old man of eighty.
Thackeray in 1859 had taken a long lease of a rather
54 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [186a-
dilapidated house in Palace Green. It was his inten- tion to repair and improve the existing structure ; but, after careful consideration, he pulled it down ; and, in its place, from his own drawings, erected a handsome mansion of red brick with stone facings, in the style of Queen Anne. Thackeray looked upon the house as a judicious investment ; and when a friend playfully reminded him of what Horace said of those who, for- getful of death, built houses, he replied cheerfully : " No, I am memor sepulchri, for this house will always let for so many hundreds a year." He was thoroughly satisfied with his "lordly dwelling-house." " Well, upon my word, it is one of the nicest houses I have ever seen," he declared ; and he was enthusiastic about the old green and the old palace and the magni- ficent trees before the windows at which he wrote.
He moved from Onslow Square to Palace Green early in February 1862, and a few weeks later gave a house-warming. "The cards of invitation," Canon Irvine has recorded, "were for ' W. Empty House,' denoting at once its unfurnished condition and the initials of its owner ; and the bill proclaimed the fare of our host's play of ' The Wolves and the Lamb ' (to be enacted by Herman Merivale, Sir Charles Young, Morgan O'Connell, Follett Synge, Quintin Twiss, Mrs. Caulfield, two daughters of Sir Henry Cole, and Thackeray's younger girl), to be followed by a farce entitled 'A Desperate Game,' by J. Maddison Morton, the author of ' Box and Cox,' who, curiously enough, ended his days as a Charterhouse Codd. I see in the play-bill that Mr. Thackeray is announced as Mr. Bonnington, but in fact he only appeared upon the
i863] "HISTORY OF QUEEN ANNE" 55
stage just before the fall of the curtain to say, ' Bless you, my children.'"
Installed in his new house, Thackeray finished "Philip," the last instalment of which appeared in the Cornhill Magazine in August 1862 ; and there he also wrote many "Roundabout Papers." He had been asked to continue Macaulay's History of England, and this offer he neither refused nor accepted at the moment.
Queen Anne has long been my ambition [he wrote to Dr., afterwards Sir John, Skelton], but she will take many a long year's labour, and I can't ask any other writer to delay on my account. At the be- ginning of the year I had prepared an announcement stating that I was engaged on that history ; but kept it back, as it was necessary that I should pursue my old trade of novelist for some time yet to come. Meanwhile her image stands before St. Paul's, for all the world to look at ; and who knows but some one else may be beforehand with both of us, and sketch her off while we are only laying the palette.1
Thackeray, hoping one day to undertake the task, stocked his library with the necessary books. "Here," he said, "here, I am going to write my greatest work — a 'History of the Reign of Queen Anne.' There are my materials " — pointing to a collection of volumes in various bindings, which occupied a separate place on the shelves. "Probably" (I shall begin it) "as soon as I am done with i Philip ' ; but I am not sure I may not have to write another novel first. But the history will mature all the better for the delay. I want to absorb the authorities gradually, so that when I come

to write, I shall be filled with the subject, and can sit down to a continuous narrative, without jumping up every moment to consult somebody. The History has been a pet project of mine for some years past. I'm slowly working up to the level of it, and know that when I once begin I shall do it well." But even as the unexpected journey to the East caused the abandon- ment of the "Life of Talleyrand," so another and more untimely voyage to a more distant land deprived the world of Thackeray's " History of the Reign of Queen Anne."
Now we are half a century old, and the kind hand which wrote the name in the books in the fine, well- remembered writing is laid under the grass which will cover us old gentlemen too ere long, after our little life's journey is over [he wrote in 1861 to an old Charterhouse friend]. And the carriage is going down hill, isn't it? Mine is, after having had some pleasant travelling, after being well-nigh upset, after being patched up again, after being robbed by foot- pads, etc., etc. The terminus can't be far off — a few years more or less. I wouldn't care to travel over the ground again, though I have had some pleasant days and dear companions.1
The months passed uneventfully, except for the fact that in November, 1862, Thackeray had another serious illness, and realised that his days were numbered. When William Follett Synge had left England in the previous year to take up the duties of Commissioner for the Sandwich Islands, Thackeray told him: "I want to tell you that I shall never see you again. I feel that I am doomed. I know that this will grieve

i863] A PRAYER 57
you ; but look in that book and you will find some- thing that I am sure will please and comfort you." The "something " was a prayer in which "he prayed that he might never write a word inconsistent with the love of God, or the love of man ; that he might never propagate his own prejudices to pander to those of others : that he might always speak the truth with his pen, and that he might never be actuated by a love of greed. And I particularly remember," Mr. Synge has written, "that the prayer wound up with the words, 1 For the sake of Jesus Christ, our Lord.' M1 Thackeray was doubtless thinking of himself when in a "Round- about Paper " he wrote of Dr. London and Dr. Edin- burgh, for, like the former, knowing the end was ap- proaching, he
made up his accounts with heaven. . . . And he said not a word to his family at home ; but lived among them cheerful and tender, and calm and loving ; though he knew that the night was near when he should see them and work no more. . . . And he died ; and his family never knew until he was gone that he had long been aware of the inevit- able doom.2
It is also legitimate to suppose that he was thinking of his sentence when in another " Roundabout Paper" he made his peace with the world.
In former days, I too have militated, sometimes, as I now think, unjustly ; but always, I know, with- out personal rancour. Which of us has not idle words to recall, flippant jokes to regret? Have you never committed an imprudence? Have you never

had a dispute and found out you were wrong? So much the worse for you. Woe be to the man {qui croit toujours avoir raisori) ... As I write ... I think about one or two little affairs of my own. . . . Never mind, old Squaretoes : never mind, Madame Pomposa ! Here is a hand. Let us be friends, as we once were, and have no more of this rancour.
There is little to record of these last months of Thackeray's life, save that he was writing " Denis Duval" and occasionally composing a " Roundabout Paper." During May 1863, Cruikshank was exhibiting his cartoon, " Worship of Bacchus, or, The Drinking Customs of Society," to a generation that knew him not and paid little attention to the picture, until, anxious to show consideration for an old friend, " Kind Thackeray," as the artist's biographer has put it, "came with his grave face, and looked through the little gallery, and went off to write one of his charming essays," which appeared in the Times of May 15.
Thackeray kept his last Founder's Day at the Charter- house on December 12, looking very well, we have been told. " He was there in his usual back seat in the quaint old chapel," wrote one who was present. " He went thence to the oration in the Governor's room ; and as he walked up to the orator with his con- tribution, was received with such hearty applause as only Carthusians can give to one who has immortalised their school. At the banquet afterwards he sat at the side of his old friend and artist-associate in Punch, John Leech ; and in a humorous speech proposed, as a toast, the noble foundation which he had adorned by his literary fame, and made popular in his works."

i863] LAST DAYS 59
Anthony Trollope saw him on December 14, and sat with him talking for half an hour : '? I never knew him pleasanter, or more at ease as to his bodily ail- ments"; and two days later Thackeray was dining cheerfully at the Garrick Club, ''pretending," one of the company has narrated, "to incite one very old friend to give a party of an excessively gay description, in order, as he said, that we might fancy ourselves all young again." On the next day, Thursday, December 17, with his elder daughter, he dined at the house of Dr. Merriman, who, with Dr. Elliotson, had watched him through his dangerous illness in 1849. "As he entered," Dr. Merriman has recorded, " I saw he was not well, and with his usual kindness he said, ' I would only have turned out to come to you as an old friend.' I remember saying, 1 Oh ! but you, like every Englishman, will be better for your dinner. Do you know Jean Ingelow?' 1 No — the woman in all London whom I am most anxious to know,' was the reply. ■ Do you know the quondam Miss Croker?' 'No, but she is not here,' he replied. They were both present, and I had the great pleasure of introducing him to them. He soon revived under this mental pleasure. Ere we reached the dining-room he was himself again, and, falling in with an old Carthusian, Sir George Barrow, all went as pleasantly as possible. . . . My friend stayed late, his daughter going on to some other party, and I strolled up Young Street with him ; we halted by ' No. 13,' when he alluded to old times and happy days there ; he told me ' Vanity Fair ' was his greatest work, and ' The Cane-Bottomed Chair ' his favourite ballad ;
60 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1862-
and we parted at the top of 'Our Street,' never to meet again alive in this world."1
Carlyle has related how on December 20 he "was riding in the dusk, heavy of heart, along by the Serpentine and Hyde Park, when some human brother from a chariot, with a young lady in it, threw me a shower of salutations. I looked up — it was Thackeray with his daughter : the last time I was to see him in this world." On the 21st Thackeray attended the funeral of a relative, Lady Rodd ; and on that day or the next he went to the Athenaeum. There he and Dickens passed each other on the stairs as usual, since the Yates affair, without giving any sign of recognition ; then Thackeray turned back, and with outstretched hand went up to Dickens and said he could no longer bear to be on any but the old terms of friendship. " I saw him shortly before Christmas at the Athenaeum Club," Dickens has recorded, "when he told me he had been in bed three days — that after these attacks he was troubled with cold shiverings which quite took the work out of him, and that he had it in his mind to try a new remedy which he described. He was very cheer- ful and looked very bright." A few days later Dickens was looking down into the other's grave.
On the evening of Thursday, December 23, Thackeray went into his study and worked on the proofs of " Denis Duval " ; but feeling ill, he retired at an early hour. It was noticed afterwards that the last words he revised were, "And my heart throbbed with an exquisite bliss." The next morning he was found dead in his bed, effusion into the brain having taken place.

MY Lord Duke and Gentlemen, — The Novelists of England ought to have been represented by another person who is here present ; one of the great novelists of England, and as we have heard from my old friend Dr. Russell, one of the greatest bene- factors of this Society, and that novelist sits there, — Mr. James. For my part, I have been called upon to make a speech in reply to what I must call the most astounding and most undeserved laudation. Having a liking for caricature myself, my lord, I must not complain of the sort of brilliancy of colour with which Mr. Adolphus has chosen to depict a portrait which I cannot recognise. Whereas it may be supposed ; and yet — but really — to use a novel expression, I feel myself totally at a loss to answer the compliments he

has paid me ; and I am utterly at a standstill. I beg to say that if the approbation which my profession receives is such as Mr. Adolphus is pleased to say it has been, I can only say, Gentlemen and my lord Duke, that we are nearly as happy in this country as our brother Literary men are in foreign countries ; and that we have all but arrived at the state of dethroning you all. I don't wish that this catastrophe may be brought about for the sake of personal peace ; for one, I am desirous to read my books, write my articles, and get my money ; I should not wish that that should ever take place ; but if I survey mankind, not *' from China to Peru," but over the map of Europe, with that cursory glance that Novel Writers can afford to take, I see nothing but Literary men who seem to be super- intending the affairs of the Continent ; and only our happy island which is exempt from the Literary despotism. Look to Italy, towards the boot of which I turn my eye ; and first I find that a great number of Novelists and Literary men are bouleversing the country from toe to heel ; turning about Naples and kicking Rome here and there ; and causing sudden onward impetus to the monarchy of the great Carlo Alberto himself. If I go to France I find that men, and more particularly men of my own profession and Mr. James's profession, are governing the country ; I find that writers of fiction, and Authors in general, are ruling over the destinies of the empire ; that Pegasus is, as it were, the charger of the first citizen of the Republic. But arriving at my own country, my Lord Duke, I beseech you to remember that there was a time, a little time ago, on the " ioth of April " last, when a great
1848] SPEECHES 67
Novelist, a member of my own profession, was standing upon Kennington Common in the van of liberty, prepared to assume any responsibility, to take upon himself any direction of government, to decorate him- self with the tricolour sash, or the Robespierre waist- coat, and, but for the timely, and, I may say, ''special " interposition of many who are here present, you might have been at present commanded by a president of a Literary Republic, instead of by our present Sovereign, whose health your Grace has drunk to-night ; — I doubt whether any presidents of any Literary Republics would contribute as much to the funds of this Society. I don't believe that the country as yet requires so much of our Literary men ; but, in the meanwhile, I suppose it must be the task and endeavour of all us light practi- tioners of Literature to do our best, to say our little say in the honestest way we can, to tell the truth as heartily and as simply as we are able to tell it, to expose the humbug, and to support the honest man. And whilst we perform to our best power this small endeavour, it will be always a great consolation to us to receive such kindly greetings as you have given us, and which I am sure every one of you feel.

MY Lord and Gentlemen, — I have no words to answer the encomiums of my learned friend. I suppose, my lord, years ago, when you had a duty to perform, you did not think much about, or look to, what men of genius and men of eloquence might say of you, but you went and you did your best with all your power ; and whatever the result you determined to do your best on the next occasion. I believe that is the philosophy of what I have been doing in the course of my life ; I don't know whether it has tended to fame, or to laughter, or to seriousness ; but I have tried to say the truth, and, as far as I know, I have tried to describe what I saw before me, as well as I best might, and to like my neighbour as well as my neighbour

would let me like him. All the rest of the speech which I had prepared has fled into thin air ; the only part which I remember was an apology for, or rather an encomium of, the profession of us novelists, which I am bound to say, for the honour of our call- ing, ought to rank with the very greatest literary occupations. Why should historians take precedence of us? Our personages are as real as theirs. For instance, I maintain that our friends Parson Adams and Dr. Primrose are characters as authentic as Dr. Sacheverell, or Dr. Warburton, or any reverend per- sonage of their times. Gil Bias is quite as real and as good a man as the Duke of Lerma, and, I believe, a great deal more so. I was thinking, too, that Don Quixote was, to my mind, as real a man as Don John or the Duke of Alva ; and then I was turning to the history of a gentleman of whom I am particularly fond — a schoolfellow of mine before Dr. Russell's time. I was turning to the life and history of one with whom we are all acquainted, — and that is one Mr. Joseph Addison, — who, I remember, was made Under- Secretary of State at one period of his life, under another celebrated man, — Sir Charles Hedges, I think it was, — but it is now so long ago, I am not sure ; but I have no doubt Mr. Addison was much more proud of his connection with Sir Charles Hedges and his place in Downing Street, and his red box, and his quarter's salary, punctually and regularly paid ; — I daresay he was much more proud of these than of any of the literary honours which he received, such as being the author of the "Tour to Italy" and "The Campaign." But after all, though he was undoubtedly
yo WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
connected with Sir Charles Hedges, there was another knight with whom he was much more connected, and that was a certain Sir Roger de Coverley, whom we have always loved and believed in a thousand times better than a thousand Sir Charles Hedges. And as I look round at this table, gentlemen, I cannot but perceive that the materials for my favourite romances are never likely to be wanting to future authors. I don't know that anything I have written has been generally romantic ; but if I were disposed to write a romance, I think I should like to try an Indian tale, and I should take for the heroes of it — or for some of the heroes of it — I would take the noble lord whom I see opposite to me [Lord Hardinge] with the Sutlej flowing behind him, and the enemy in his front, and himself riding before the British army, with his son Arthur and his son Charles by his side. I am sure, in all the regions of romance, I could find nothing more noble and affecting than that story, and I hope some of these days some more able novelist will undertake it. In the meantime, for myself and my brethren, in the absence of a better representative of them to answer to this toast, I thank you for the kindness with which you have received it.

IF the kindest words, Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, that were ever spoken of me in my life, should not affect me ; if I said that they did not, you might set me down, not for a novelist, but for a romancer. I feel profoundly touched and extremely grateful for the generous notice which has been taken of me, for the discussion which has been given on my humble merits by such a judge in such a court. It will be to me always a source of sincere gratification to think that I can move men who are occupied by grave cares and grave duties all day, and to think I have been able, by labours or by works of my own, to find a kindly place in their thoughts, and almost I should say, from what the Vice-Chancellor has been good enough to say, almost, I should say, in the affections. Works of liter- ature have their peculiar rewards. In my profession, we get immense premiums, and amongst them is this one which has exhibited itself so nobly to-night, and for which I do feel most sincerely and proudly grateful. Sir, I think, as we have a number of foreign gentlemen

here present, and the question of literature has been brought upon the tapis, that a certain error, in which you yourself — with all respect be it said — have partially indulged, should be protested against ; at least on the part of myself and some people of my profession. I want to inform all foreign gentlemen here present, that Literary men are not by any means, at this present time, that most unfortunate and most degraded set of people whom they are sometimes represented to be. If foreign gentlemen should, by any chance, go to see "The Rivals " represented at one of our theatres, they will see Captain Absolute and Miss Lydia Languish making love to one another and conversing, if not in the costume of the present day, or such as gentlemen and ladies are accustomed to use, at any rate in something near it ; whereas, when the old father, Sir Anthony Absolute, comes in, nothing will content the stage but that he should appear with red heels, large buckles, and an immense Ramillies wig. This is the stage tradition : they won't believe in an old man unless he appears in this dress and with this wig ; nor in an old lady unless she comes forward in a quilted petticoat and high-heeled shoes ; nor in Hamlet's gravedigger unless he wears some four-and-twenty waistcoats ; and so on. Well, I think, in my trade, in my especial branch of literature, the same tradition exists ; and certain persons are constantly apt to bring forward or to believe in the existence, at this moment, of the miserable old literary hack of the time of George the Second, and bring him before us as the literary man of this day. I say that that disreputable old phantom ought to be hissed out of society. I don't believe in the literary
i8si] SPEECHES 73
man being obliged to resort to ignoble artifices and mean flatteries to get places at the tables of the great, and to enter into society upon sufferance. I don't believe in the patrons of this present day, except such patrons as I am happy to have in you, and as any honest man might be proud to have and shake by the hand and be shaken by the hand by. Therefore I propose from this day forth that the oppressed literary man should disappear from among us. The times are altered, the people don't exist; "the patron and the jail," praise God, are vanished from out our institutions. It may be possible that the eminent Mr. Edmund Curll stood in the pillory in the time of Queen Anne, who, thank God, is dead ; it may be that in the reign of another celebrated monarch of these realms, Queen Elizabeth, authors who abused the persons of honour would have their arms cut off on the first offence, and be hanged on the second. Gentlemen, what would be the position of my august friend and patron, Mr. Punch, if that were now the case? Where would be his hands and his neck, and his ears and his bowels? He would be disembowelled, and his members cast about the land. We don't want patrons, we want friends; and I thank God we have them ; and as for any idea that our calling is despised by the world, I do, for my part, protest against and deny the whole statement. I have been in all sorts of society in this world, and I have never been despised that I know of. I don't believe there has been a literary man of the slightest merit or of the slightest mark who did not greatly advance himself by his literary labours. I see along this august table gentlemen whom I have had the
74 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
honour of shaking by the hand, and gentlemen whom I should never have called my friends but for the humble literary labours I have been engaged in. And therefore, I say, don't let us be pitied any more. As for pity being employed upon authors, especially in my branch of the profession, if you will but look at the novelists of the present day, I think you will see it is altogether out of the question to pity them. We will take, in the first place, if you please, a great novelist who is the great head of a great party in a great assembly in this country. When this celebrated man went into his county to be proposed to represent it, and he was asked on what interest he stood, he nobly said he " stood on his head." And who can question the gallantry and brilliancy of that eminent crest of his ? and what man will deny the great merit of Mr. Disraeli? Take next another novelist, who writes from his ancestral hall, and addresses John Bull, in letters, on matters of politics ; and John Bull buys eight editions of those letters. Is not this a prospect for a novelist? There is a third, one of whom the Vice- Chancellor has spoken to-night, who is employed upon this very evening, head and hand, — heart and voice, I may say, — in a work of charity. And what is the consequence? The Queen of the realm, the greatest nobles of the empire, all the great of the world, will assemble to see him and to do him honour. I say, therefore, don't let us have pity. I don't want it till I really do want it. Of course it is impossible for us to settle the mere prices by which the works of those who amuse the public are to be paid. I am perfectly aware that Signor Twankeydillo, of the Italian Opera, and
i85i] SPEECHES 75
Mademoiselle Petitpas of the Haymarket, will get a great deal more money in a week for the skilful exercise of their chest and toes than I, or you, or any gentlemen here present, should be able to get by our brains and by weeks of hard labour. We cannot help these differences in payment ; we know there must be high and low payments in our trade, as in all trades ; that there must be gluts of the market and over-production ; that there must be successful machinery, and rivals, and brilliant importations from foreign countries ; that there must be hands out of employ, and tribulation of workmen. But these ill-winds which afflict us blow fortunes to our successors. They are natural evils. It is the progress of the world, rather than any evil which we can remedy ; and that is why I say this society acts most wisely and justly, in endeavouring to remedy, not the chronic distress, but the temporary evil ; that it finds a man at the moment of the pinch of necessity, helps him a little, and gives him a " God-speed," and sends him on his way. For my own part, I have felt that necessity, and bent under that calamity ; and it is because I have found friends who have nobly, with God's blessing, helped me at that moment of distress that I feel deeply interested in the ends of a Society which has for its object to help my brother in similar need.

MY Lord and Gentlemen, it was a late hour of the evening when my honourable friend spoke that speech that was so brief, but so complimentary to myself ; and it is equally clear that it is a still later hour in the evening when I rise to return thanks — not with a prepared oration, but with all my heart — for the kindness with which you have received his sentiments. We, from this end of the table, my Lord, speak humbly and from afar off. We are the usefuls of the company, who over and over again perform our little part, deliver our little messages, and then sit down ; whereas you yonder are the great stars of the evening ; — you are collected with much care, and skill, and ingenuity, by the manager of this benefit performance ; you perform Macbeth and Hamlet, we are the Rosencrantzes and Guildensterns ; we are the Banquos, — as I know a Banquo who has shaken his gory old wig at Drury Lane, at a dozen Macbeths.

gentlemen may have seen at the opera, who comes forward and demurely waters the stage, to the applause of the audience, — never mind who is the great Taglione, or the Lind, or the Wagner, who is to receive all the glory. For my part, I am happy to fulfil that humble office, and to make my little speech, and to return, and leave the place for a greater and more able performer. In listening to the speech of my friend General Pasley, I thought to myself, how like British charity is to British valour, that it must always be well fed before it comes into action ! We see before us a ceremony of this sort, which Britons always undergo with pleasure. There is no tax which the Briton pays so cheerfully as the dinner-tax. Every man here, I have no doubt, who is a little acquainted with the world must have received, in the course of the last month, a basketful of tickets inviting him to meet in this place, for some purpose or other. We have all rapped upon this table, either admiring the speaker for his eloquence, or at any rate applauding him when he sits down. We all of us know — we have had it a hundred times — the celebrated flavour of the old Freemasons' mock-turtle, and the celebrated Freemasons' sherry ; and if I seem to laugh at the usage, the honest, good old English usage, of eating and drinking, which brings us all together for all sorts of good purposes — do not suppose that I laugh at it any more than I would at good, old, honest John Bull, who has, under his good, huge, boisterous exterior, a great deal of kindness and good- ness at the heart of him. Our festival may be compared with such a person ; men meet here and shake hands, kind hearts grow kinder over the table, and a silent
78 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
almoner issues forth from it, the festival over, and gratifies poor people, and relieves the suffering of the poor, which would never be relieved but for your kind- ness. So that there is a grace that follows after your meat and sanctifies it. We have heard the historians and their calling worthily exalted just now ; but it seems to me that my calling will be the very longest and the last of those of all the literary gentlemen I see before me. Long after the present generation is dead, — of readers and authors of books, — there must be kind- ness and generosity, and folly and fidelity, and love, and heroism, and humbug, in all the world ; and, as long as they last, my successors, or the successors of the novelists who come long after us, will have plenty to do, and plenty of subjects to write upon. There may chance to be a time when wars will be over, and the u Decisive Battles" of the world will not need a his- torian. There may arrive a time when the Court of Chancery itself will be extinguished ; and, as perhaps your lordship is aware, there is a certain author of a certain work called "Bleak House," who, for the past three months, has been assaulting the Court of Chancery in a manner that I cannot conceive that ancient institu- tion will survive ; there may be a time when the Court of Chancery will cease to exist, and when the historian of "The Lives of the Lord Chancellors " will have no calling. I have often speculated upon what the successor of the novelists in future ages may have to do ; and I have fancied them occupied with the times and people of our own age. If I could fancy a man so occupied hereafter and busied, we will say, with a heroic story, I would take the story, my lord, which I heard
1852] SPEECHES 79
hinted at the other night by the honoured, the oldest, the bravest, and the greatest man in this country — I would take the great and glorious action of Cape Danger, when, striking to the Powers above alone, the u Birkenhead" went down — when, with heroic courage and endurance, the men remained on the decks, and the women and children were allowed to go away safe, as the people cheered them, and died doing their duty ! I know of no victory so sublime in the annals of the feats of English valour — I know of no story that could inspire a great author or novelist better than that. Or suppose we should take the story of an individual of the present day, whose name your Lordship has heard already men- tioned ; we might have a literary hero not less literary than Mr. David Copperfield, or Mr. Arthur Pendennis, who is defunct ; we might have a literary hero who, at twenty years of age, astonished the world with his brilliant story of " Vivian Grey " ; who, in a little time afterwards, and still in the youthful period of his life, amazed and delighted the public with " The Wondrous Tale of Alroy " ; — who, presently following up the course of his career and the development of his philosophical culture, explained to a breathless and listening world the great Caucasian mystery ; who, quitting literature, then went into politics ; met, faced, and fought, and conquered the great political giant and great orator of those days ; who subsequently led Thanes and Earls to battle, and caused reluctant Squires to carry his lance ; and who, but the other day, went in a gold coat to kiss the hand of his Sovereign as Leader of the House of Commons and Chancellor of Her Majesty's Exchequer. What a hero, my Lord, that will be for some future

The Dinner given to Thackeray at the London Tavern, Prior to his Departure for America, October ii, 18551
I KNOW great quantities of us here present have been invited to a neighbouring palace, where turtle, champagne, and all good things are all plentiful almost as here, and where there reigns a civic monarch with a splendid court of officers, etc. ; the sort of greeting that I had myself to-day — this splendour, etc. — the bevy in the ante-room — have filled my bosom with an elation with which no doubt Sir Francis Graham Moon's [Lord Mayor] throbs. I am surrounded by respectful friends, etc. — and I feel myself like a Lord Mayor. To his lordship's delight and magnificence there is a drawback. In the fountain of his pleasure there surges a bitter. He is thinking about the 9th of November, and I about the 13th of October [when Thackeray was to leave for America], iome years since, when I was younger, and used to frequent jolly assemblies, I wrote a Bacchanalian

song, to be chanted after dinner, etc. I wish some one would sing that song now to the tune of the Dead March in Sauly etc. — not for me — I am miserable enough — but for you, who seem in a great deal too good spirits. I tell you I am not — all the drink in Mr. Bathe's cellars [Bathe was the proprietor of the Lon- don Tavern where the dinner was held] won't make me. There may be sherry five hundred years old — Columbus may have taken it out from Cadiz with him when he went to discover America, and it won't make me jolly, etc. ; and yet entirely unsatisfactory as this feast is to me, I should like some more. Why can't you give me some more ? I don't care about them costing two guineas a head. It is not the trouble I value. Let us go to Simpson's fish ordinary — or to Bertolini's, or John o' Groat's, etc. I don't want to go away — I cling round the mahogany tree.
In the course of my profound and extensive reading I have found it the habit of the English nation to give dinners to the unfortunate. I have been dining lately with some worthy singular fellows a hundred and fifty or a hundred and sixty years old. I find that upon certain occasions the greatest attention was always paid them. They might call for anything they liked for dinner. My friend Simon Frazer, Lord Lovat [be- headed for treason, 1747], about a hundred years since, I think, partook very cheerfully of minced veal and sack before he was going on his journey — Lord Ferrars [executed for murder, 1760], rice — and I could tell you a dozen jolly stories about feasts of this sort. I re- member a particularly jolly one at which I was present, and which took place at least nine hundred years ago.

My friend Mr. Macready gave it at Forres Castle, North Britain, Covent Garden. That was a magnifi- cent affair indeed. The tables were piled with the most splendid fruits ; gorgeous dish-covers glittered in end- less perspective. Macbeth — Macready, I mean — taking up a huge gold beaker, shining with enormous gems that must have been worth many hundred millions of money, filled it out of a gold six-gallon jar, and drank cour- teously to the general health of the whole table. Why did he put it down? What made him, in the midst of that jolly party, appear so haggard and melancholy? It was because he saw before him the ghost of John Cooper, with chalked face and an immense streak of vermilion painted across his throat. No wonder he was disturbed. In like manner I have before me at this minute the horrid figure of a steward with a basin or a glass of brandy and water, which he will press me to drink, and which I shall try and swallow, and which won't make me any better — I know it won't. Then there's the dinner, which we all of us must remember in our schoolboy days, and which took place twice or thrice a year at home, on the day before Birch expected his young friends to reassemble at his academy, Rodwell Regis. Don't you remember how that morning was spent? — how you went about taking leave of the gar- den, and the old mare and foal, and the paddock, and the pointers in the kennel ; and how your little sister kept wistfully at your side all day ; and how you went and looked at that confounded trunk which old Martha was packing with the new shirts, and at that heavy cake packed up in the play-box; and how kind "the governor" was all day, and how at dinner he said,
84 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
"Jack"— or " Tom "— " pass the bottle," in a very cheery voice ; and how your mother had got the dishes she knew you liked best ; and how you had the wing instead of the leg, which used to be your ordinary share ; and how that dear, delightful, hot, raspberry roly-poly pudding, good as it was, and fondly be- loved by you, yet somehow had the effect of the notorious school stick-jaw, and choked you and stuck in your throat ; and how the gig came ; and then, how you heard the whirl of mail-coach wheels, and the tooting of the guard's horn as, with an extraordinary punctuality, the mail and the four horses came gallop- ing over the hill ? Shake hands, good-bye ! God bless everybody ! Don't cry, sister ; away we go ! and to- morrow we begin with Dr. Birch and six months at Rodwell Regis. But after six months [Thackeray ex- pected to be away for this length of time] come the holidays again ! etc., etc., etc.

The Dinner given to Thackeray at Edinburgh, March, 1857 a
IF this kind of reception is to continue — if such hospitality is to go on — if I am to be feasted every day in this way, or in a way almost equally good — allow me to say that, with these dinners, and with this kindness, and with this hos- pitality, you are taking my bread out of my mouth. It is quite an error to suppose that I am a man possessing any benevolent feelings or any gener- ous sympathies with my fellow-creatures. My busi- ness is to find out snobbishness, and meanness, and vulgarity, and base motives in all the people among whom I go. I read in scores and scores of valuable critical works that such is my only task, that such is the dreary occupation of my existence. It is said that if I try to speak of a good man, I render him absurd, and mean, and vulgar ; and of a good woman, that she, too, is foolish, and vapid, and insignificant ; lat it is only with agreeable vice that somehow or )ther my business in life lies, and, in fine, that to picture wickedness, and selfishness, and meanness is my task. I know that this must be true, because I read it a very short time ago in a Liverpool newspaper ;
1 Harper's Weekly ; April 25, 1857. 85
86 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
and not only in a Liverpool newspaper, but in a Liver- pool newspaper which was quoting a Scotch newspaper. This Scotch newspaper enounced these facts which I have been mentioning. " Catch this fellow," says the Scotch newspaper, " saying anything kind about any- body " ; and the Liverpool newspaper which prigged my lecture backed up the opinion of the Scotch critic. " Catch him praising anybody, or saying good of any- body." He loves nothing that is lovable; he praises nothing that is praisable. And yet I thought that in those lectures, which some of you were pleased to come and hear, I had certainly not praised some monarchs who had lived hundreds of years back, but I had praised Burke, and Reynolds, and Goldsmith, and Johnson, and the literary men, the men of art and the men of science, the good men of the time, whom I value more than the Star and Garter wearers of those old days. As far as I know my political opinions, I belong to the class that I see around me here — the class of lawyers, and merchants, and scholars, and men who are striving on in the world, of men of the educated middle classes of this country. And, belonging to them, my sympathies and my desires are with them. If it happened that we were all here an assembly of noblemen and earls, we should, no doubt, form a Vis- count's Government, and think it the best of all Govern- ments possible. If a difficulty arose in China, for instance, we should work for my Lord Duke A. to go out and settle the difficulty, or we should ask Earl B. to go, if my Lord Duke A. were not inclined. If a Minister were wanted at Washington, we should send my Lord A. to fill the place ; or if a Minister were wanted else-
1857I SPEECHES 87
where, there would be some other lord who would be quite ready to accept the office. If we had a war, we should select a noble lord from the Horse Guards to fill the place of Commander-in-Chief, we should select a couple of noble earls to command the cavalry, and we should find out a number of gentlemen of the best fami- lies to go on the staff of these noble lords. If I, for example, were the noble lord who occupied a high posi- tion at home, and especially if I should possibly have a relative in a far distant land where the war was going on, I should most undoubtedly and most unjustifiably write out to those in authority at headquarters to take care of my relative. Against that system I could scarcely protest, because it is perfectly natural. I think it is quite fair that a noble lord should send out and say, " For Heaven's sake, take care of Dowb " ; but for us on our side I think that we are bound also to look after Tull and Mac. Tull and Mac belong to our family ; they are of the working, sturdy middle-classes. They are men in whom lie, as I believe, the safety, the hope, and the main part of the intelligence of our country. It is to their party that I would like to say that I belong, and I hope that my confession will carry no disloyalty with it, and will meet with no very sincere disapproval from the strongest conservative present.

Another report concludes :
I had thought that in these lectures I had spoken in terms, not of disrespect or unkindness, but in feelings and in language not un-English, of her Majesty the Queen ; and whenever I have had to mention her
88 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
name, whether it was upon the banks of the Clyde or upon those of the Mississippi, whether it was in New England or in Old England, whether it was in some great hall in London to the artisans of the suburbs of the metropolis, or to the politer audiences at the western end — whenever I had to mention her name, it was re- ceived with shouts of applause, and with the most hearty cheers. And why was this? It was not on account of the speaker ; it was on account of the truth ; it was because the English and the Americans — the people of New Orleans a year ago, the people of Aberdeen a week ago — all received and acknowledged with due allegiance the great claims to honour which that lady has, who worthily holds that great and awful situation which our Queen occupies. It is my loyalty that is called in question, and it is my loyalty I am trying to plead to you. Suppose, for example, in America — in Philadelphia or in New York — I had spoken of George IV in terms of praise or affected reverence, do you suppose they would have hailed his name with cheers or have heard it with anything like respect? They would have laughed in my face if I had so spoken of him. They know what I know and you know, and what numbers of squeamish loyalists who affect to cry out against my lectures know, that that man's life was not a good life — that that king was not such a king as we ought to love or regard or honour. And I believe, for my part, that in speaking the truth as we hold it, of a bad sovereign, we are paying no disrespect at all to a good one. Far from it. On the contrary, we degrade our own honour and the sovereign's by unduly and unjustly praising
i857] SPEECHES 89
him : and the mere slaverer and flatterer is one who comes forward, as it were, with flash notes, and pays with false coin his tribute to Caesar. I don't disguise from you that I feel somehow or other on my trial here for loyalty, for honest English feeling.

The Royal Literary Fund Dinner, May 19, 1857 l
WHILE the Bishop and the Earl, Mr. Cowper, are pursuing their duties else- where, taking, I suppose, different sides on the question under discussion, we, at any rate, are all united. There is not one of us who is a dissentient, not one of us who is a Whig or Tory ; but we are all of us ready to unite in saying " Prosperity to the Literary Fund," nine times nine, or eighty-one times eighty-one, or any number that may be proposed will be cheerfully given to that toast. As I look round me, in spite of unavoidable absences which have taken place, I feel that there is nothing here but an immense chorus of prosperity to the Literary Fund. I look to the left, and I see these gentlemen from our Indian possessions, gentlemen I remember in my early days, whose dark faces have saluted me under palm-trees in those climes from which I come myself. I look to the right, and see my kind old friend — whom I call my kind old friend, though I have never seen him till to-night, and whose hand

I have shaken for the first time— and that is a sign of prosperity to the Literary Fund. That I come here, a man never known except by letters, that I meet Mr. Justice Haliburton, whom I have never heard of except by letters, and hold out to him my hand, which he grasps cordially — I say, that is a sign of prosperity to the Literary Fund. Then I see my friend Hamley, who, a little time ago, was leaping up the heights of Inkerman, thundering over Balaklava, who has written a novel as well as we can write, and who has made one of the best speeches delivered to-night — and that is a sign of prosperity to the Literary Fund. Then I see my old friend Helps yonder, who has made a speech that would do honour to the august assembly which is engaged upon marital difficulties to-night, composed of gentlemen whose rank we respect, but whose autograph we do not look for so much as we do for Helps's, and I say that his being here is a sign of prosperity to the Literary Fund. And I say that the very absence of those men who have been outside engaged with other and benevolent schemes means a sign of prosperity to the Literary Fund, just as a great opposition party in the House of Commons actually invigorates and strengthens the ministerial party. I say that even out- side opposition shows that this Literary Fund is prospering ; that all around there is an immense, a continuous, a kindly, and generous interest for the cause which brings us together. With all my heart, and with all my power, I propose " Prosperity to the Literary Fund." I think of the kindness which I know you have done ; I think of the poor whom I know you have relieved ; I think of the long moments of doubt
92 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
and struggle in which, thank God, I have never had to come to you, but in which I might have had to come ; and I say that all of us here, and many out of doors, will pray God's blessing upon the work. Every one of you, I am sure, will join me in the toast, " Prosperity to the Literary Fund." Gentlemen, prosperity to it now and ever.

The Oxford Election, July, 1857 l
TO bespeak your praise, being so little known to any of you at this moment, would be idle ; even to say that I possess the power of eloquence — which I wish to Heaven that I had — would be in vain, for I shall break down very likely in a sentence or two, and you will have to moralise on the strange fact that a gentleman who can spin off sentence after sentence in his study is hard put to it to find words when he is on his legs. I go with all my heart and soul for the adoption of the ballot, and I desire with the utmost of my power the extension of the suffrage. I do not say for one moment I mean universal suffrage, because those of you who have read the papers have seen how universal suffrage obtains in a neighbouring country. With respect to triennial parliaments, if the people are for it, I am ready to follow the popular behest. I do not see, for my own part, how any great good can arise from them. It does not seem to me that, if a perpetually recurring system of election was practised, it would be conducive of much good. Some time ago I had to say a few words about political matters at a dinner in Edinburgh, to which I was invited, and I got a good

94 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
deal of ill-will in certain very genteel quarters in London when I returned, because I said at that dinner that those gentlemen with handles to their names, that the members of aristocratic families, had a very great share of public patronage and government, and that, for my part, I heartily desired that men of the people — the working men and educated men of the people — should have a share in the government. I instanced the case of the American minister who was then want- ing— the government appointed a lord ; a Minister of China was then wanting, and the selection lay between a duke and an earl. Great outcries were made against me when I went back, and people said, " Why do you sneer against Duke A., Lord B., and Earl C. ? Why do you speak against men whom you know to be perfectly honourable and capable?" I did not sneer in the least against Lord Elgin, who was appointed ambassador to China, or Lord Napier, the recently appointed American minister, because, at that time, few men more honourable, eloquent, able, or ex- perienced, could be found. What I complained of was that we were obliged to go to the aristocracy when we were in need of officers. There is never any chance for a man of the people to step forward ; there seems a sort of absolute necessity that when Lord Palmerston goes out of office Lord John must come in, and when Lord John jumps out of the boat Lord Palmerston must come in and pull stroke oar again. Are there not prudent, intelligent men whose services the country might profit by, but who have no chance to gratify the legitimate object of their ambition, so that an eternal change of the great aristocratic families seems intended

to go on for ever? Will it be your will and pleasure that this state of things should continue? If not, intro- duce into the House of Commons men of popular in- telligence— the best men that you can bring into it. The popular influence must be brought to bear on the present Government of the country ; if they flinch, remind them that the people are outside, and want more and more.

Speech at the Hustings1 at the Oxford Election, July, 1857
^4S I came down to this place I saw on each side /% of me placards announcing that there was / m no manner of doubt that on Tuesday the "^^ friends of the Right Hon. Edward Card- well would elect him to a seat in Parliament. I also saw other placards announcing in similar terms a confidence that there was no doubt that I should be elected to a seat in Parliament for the city of Oxford. Now as both sides are perfectly confident of success — as I, for my part, feel perfectly confident, and as my opponents entertain the same favourable opinion in regard to themselves — surely both sides may meet here in perfect good-humour. I hear that not long since — in the memory of many now alive — this independent city was patronised by a great university, and that a great duke, who lived not very far from here, at the time of election used to put on his boots and ride down and order the freemen of Oxford to elect a member for him. Any man who has wandered through your beautiful city as I have done within these last few days cannot but be struck with the difference between the ancient splendour, the academic grandeur, that prevailed in
1 From J. C. Hotten, Thackeray. 96
i857] SPEECHES 97
this place — the processions of dons, doctors, and proc- tors— and your new city, which is not picturesque or beautiful at all, but which contains a number of streets, peopled by thousands of hard-working, honest, rough- handed men. These men have grown up of late years, and have asserted their determination to have a repre- sentative of their own. Such a representative they found three months ago, and such a representative they returned to Parliament in the person of my friend Mr. Neate. But such a representative was turned out of that Parliament by a sentence which I cannot call un- just, because he himself is too magnanimous and generous to say so, but which I will call iniquitous. He was found guilty of a twopennyworth of bribery which he never committed ; and a Parliament which has swallowed so many camels strained at that little gnat, and my friend, your representative, the very best man you could find to represent you, was turned back, and you were left without a man. I cannot hope — I never thought to equal him ; I only came forward at a moment when I felt it necessary that some one pro- fessing his principles and possessing your confidence should be ready to step into the gap which he had made. I know that the place was very eagerly sought for by other folks on the other side, entertaining other opinions. Perhaps you don't know that last week there was a Tory baronet down here, walking about in the shade, as umbrageous almost as that under which my opponent, Mr. Cardwell, has sheltered himself. Of course you know there came down a ministerial nomi- nee— Lord Monck ; but you do not know that Mr. Hayter, who is what is called the Whipper-in for the
II.— H
98 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
Ministerial party, came down here also on Saturday week in a dark and mysterious manner, and that some conversation took place, the nature of which I cannot pretend to know anything about, because I have no spies, however people may be lurking at the doors of our Committee-room. But the result of all was that Lord Monck disappeared, and Mr. Hayter vanished into darkness and became a myth ; and we were in- formed that a powerful requisition from the city of Oxford had invited Mr. Cardwell. Mind, Mr. Cardwell has given no note in reply — no mark, no sign. We do not know, even now, whether he accepted that polite invitation ; we do not know it even to this day, except that his godfathers have been here, and have said so. After the manner in which the electors of Oxford have received me, could I possibly have gone back simply because we are told that Mr. Cardwell had received an invitation, which we did not know whether he had accepted or not? I feel it, therefore, to be my humble duty to stand in the place where I found myself. I do not know that I would have ventured to oppose Mr. Cardwell under other circumstances. I am fully aware of his talents. I know his ability as a statesman, and no man can say that I have, during the whole of my canvass, uttered a word at all unfriendly or disrespect- ful towards that gentleman. I should have hesitated on any other occasion in opposing him, but I cannot hesitate now, because I know that we have the better cause, and that we mean to make that better cause triumphant.
i8s7] SPEECHES 99
I say that any man who belongs to the Peelite party is not the man who ought to be put forward by any constituency at the eve of a great and momentous English war. As to my own opinions on public ques- tions, you may have heard them pretty freely expressed on many occasions. I only hope, if you elect me to Parliament, I shall be able to obviate the little difficulty which has been placarded against me — that I could not speak. I own I cannot speak very well, but I shall learn. I cannot spin out glib sentences by the yard, as some people can ; but if I have got anything in my mind, if I feel strongly on any question, I have, I believe, got brains enough to express it. When you send a man to the House of Commons, you do not want him to be always talking ; he goes there to conduct the business of the country ; he has to prepare himself on the question on which he proposes to speak before six hundred and fifty-six members, who would be bored if every man were to deliver his opinion. He must feel and understand what he is going to say ; and I have not the least doubt that I shall be able to say what I feel and think, if you will give me the chance of saying it. If any one in the House of Commons talked all he thought upon everything, good God ! what a Babel it would be ! you would not get on at all. On the first night I came among you, many questions were put to me by a friend, who capped them all by saying, 4 'Now, Mr. Thackeray, are you for the honour of England ? " I said that that was rather a wild and wide question to put, but to the best of my belief I was for the honour of England, and would work for it to the best of my power. About the ballot we are all agreed.
ioo WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
If I was for the ballot before I came down here, I am more for the ballot now. As to triennial Parliaments, if the constituents desire them, I am for them. (A voice : Would you have the ballot to-morrow ?) No, we are too manly, too plucky, too honest, and we will beat them without it ; but another day, when we have a better representation, we will have the ballot. If you elect me, I shall not go to the House of Commons hostile to the present Ministry, but determined to keep them to their work, and to prevent them from shrinking from any of the promises they have made. I think them, in a war crisis, eminently the best men to carry on the councils of the country, and to contend against the Tories and Peelites, who have very nearly paralysed their arms.

The Oxford Election, July 21, 1857 Speech after the Declaration of the Poll1
GIVE me leave to speak a few words to you on this occasion, for although the red, white, and blue are my friends, I hope to make the green and yellow my friends also. Let me tell you a little story, but a true one. Some years ago, when boxing was more common in this country than it is at the present time, two celebrated champions met to fight a battle on Moulsey Heath. Their names were Gully and Gregson. They fought the most tremendous battle that had been known for many long years, and Gregson got the worst of it. As he was lying on his bed some time afterwards, blinded and his eyes shut up, he asked a friend to give him something to drink. A person in the room handed him some drink, and grasped him by the hand. "Whose hand is this?" asked Gregson. " 'Tis Jack Gully's," was the reply. Now Gregson was the man who was beaten, and Gully was the conqueror, and he was the first man to shake him by the hand, to show him that he had no animosity against him. This should be the conduct of all loyal Englishmen, to fight a good fight, and to hold no animosity against the

opposite side. With this feeling I go away from Oxford. With this feeling I shall have redeemed one of the promises I made you yesterday ; the other I cannot by any possibility answer, because, somehow or other, our side has come out a little below the other side. I wish to shake Mr. Cardwell by the hand, and to congratulate him on being the representative of this great city. I say it is a victory you ought to be proud of ; it is a battle which you ought to be proud of who have taken part in it ; you have done your duty nobly and fought most gallantly. I am a man who was unknown to most of you, who only came before you with the recommendation of my noble and ex- cellent friend Mr. Neate, but I have met with many friends. You have fought the battle gallantly against great influences, against an immense strength, which have been brought against you, and in favour of that honoured and respected man Mr. Cardwell. Stop ! don't hiss. When Lord Monck came down here and addressed the electors, he was good enough to say a kind word in favour of me. Now, that being the case, don't let me be outdone in courtesy and generosity, but allow me to say a few words of the respect and cordiality which I entertain for Mr. Cardwell. As for the party battle which divides you, I am, gentlemen, a stranger, for I never heard the name of certain tradesmen of this city till I came among you. Per- haps I thought my name was better known than it is. You, the electors of Oxford, know whether I have acted honestly towards you ; and you on the other side will say whether I ever solicited a vote when I knew that vote was promised to my opponent ; or whether
i«57] SPEECHES 103
I have not always said, " Sir, keep your word ; here is my hand on it: let us part good friends." With my opponents I part so. With others, my friends, I part with feelings still more friendly, not only for the fidelity you have shown towards me, but for your noble attachment to the gallant and tried whom you did know, and who I hope will be your representative at some future time. Don't cry out bribery : if you know of it, prove it ; but as I am innocent of bribery myself, I do not choose to fancy that other men are not equally loyal and honest. It matters very little whether I am in the House of Commons or not, to prate a little more ; but you have shown a great spirit, a great resolution, and great independence ; and I trust at some future day, when you know me better than you do now, you will be able to carry your cause to a more successful issue. Before I came to Oxford, I knew that there was a certain question that would go against me, and which I would not blink to be made a duke or a marquis to-morrow. In March last, when I was at dinner at Edinburgh, some friends of mine asked me to stand for the representation of their city. My answer was this : " That I was for having the people amused after they had done their worship on a Sunday." I knew that I was speaking to a people who, of all others, were the most open to scruples on that point, but I did my duty as an honest man, and stated what my opinion was. I have done my duty honestly to this city. And I believe that this is the reason why I am placed in a minority ; but I am contented to bow to that decision. I told you that I was for allowing a man to have harmless
104 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
pleasures when he had done his worship on Sundays. I expected to have a hiss, but they have taken a more dangerous shape — the shape of slander. Those gentle- men who will take the trouble to read my books — and I should be glad to have as many of you for sub- scribers as will come forward — will be able to say whether there is anything in them that should not be read by any one's children, or by my own, or by any Christian man. I say, on this ground I will retire, and take my place with my pen and ink at my desk, and leave to Mr. Cardwell a business which I am sure he understands better than I do.
[Another report1 gives the following extract : — ]
I am desirous that the people who work hard all the week should have the means of relaxation, amusement and instruction upon their only day of rest. I would to this end open picture galleries, museums, scientific collections, and such places as the Crystal Palace near London, where are to be found gardens and flowers, statues and pictures, and objects the most harmless and beautiful. I believe the labouring man would enjoy these sights in company with his family, and that the enjoyment of them would keep him from in- toxication, not lead him into it, as opponents of my view fear. Those who have seen our great cities know how the Sunday is often passed, and whether drunken- ness is prevented by the present legislation.

eating liquors in the place on a Sunday. I never spoke or thought of opening theatres on Sunday. I would try to multiply the means of procuring peace and harmless pleasure for the people on that day, and know that in many theatrical pieces there are jests, and allusions, and situations ill-fitted indeed to any, but especially to the sacred day. I would consent to and encourage good band-music, which has been played before our sovereigns for a hundred years past ; but would object to songs, for the same reason that renders me averse to plays — because songs may be made vehicles for jokes and buffoonery, which, on such a day, might justly shock the sense of religious persons. And I believe the relaxation of the present system would make many people friendly to the clergy, whom they now suppose to be hostile to their honest pleasures ; would be a means of happiness and union among the families of the poor ; and ought not to offend the feelings of any Christian man.

The Commercial Travellers' Dinner, 1857 '
I FEEL it needful for me to be particularly cautious whenever I come to any meeting in the City which has to do with money and monetary affairs. It is seldom that I appear at all in these regions, unless, indeed, it be occasionally to pay a pleasing visit to Messrs. Bradbury and Evans in Bouverie Street, or to Messrs. Smith and Co., of Cornhill. But I read my paper like every good Briton, and from that I gather a lesson of profound caution in speaking to mercantile men on subjects of this kind. Supposing, for instance, that I have shares in the Bundelcund Banking Company or in the Royal British Diddlesex Bank ! I come down to a meeting of the shareholders, and hear an honoured treasurer and an admirable president making the most flourishing reports of the state of our concern, showing to us enormous dividends, accompanied with the most elegant bonuses, and proving to us that our funds are invested in the most secure way at Bogleywallak Bundelcund and Branksea Castle — go away delighted at the happy prospect before my wife and family, feel- ing perfect confidence that those innocent beings will be comfortable for the rest of their lives. What, then, is my horror when in one brief fortnight after, instead

of those enormous dividends and elegant bonuses, I am served with a notice to pay up a most prodigious sum ; when I find that our estates at Bundelcund Bogley- wallak have been ravaged by the Bengal tiger ; that the island of Branksea is under water ; that our re- spected president is obliged to go to Spain for the benefit of his health, and our elegant treasurer cannot abide the London fog. You see I must be a little careful. But, granted that the accounts we have here have not, like our dinner, been subjected to an in- genious culinary process ; granted that you have spent, as I read in your report, .£25,000 in raising a noble school and grounds ; that you have collected around you the happy juvenile faces which I see smiling on yonder benches to be the objects of your Christian kindness ; granting all this to be true, then, gentlemen, I am your most humble servant, and no words that I can find can express my enthusiastic admiration for what you have done. I sincerely wish, on behalf of my own class, the literary profession, that we could boast of anything as good. I wish that we had an institution to which we could confide our children, instead of having to send them about to schools as we do, at an awful risk. When the respected Mr. Squeers, of Do-the-boys Hall, announces that he proposes to take a limited number of pupils — I should rather say a number of very limited pupils — it is not because he is in love with the little darlings that he does it, but because he deigns to extract a profit out of them. It always pains me to think of the profits to be screwed out of the bellies of the little innocents. Why have we not, as men of letters, some such association as that which
io8 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
you have got up ? I appeal to my literary brethren, if any of them are present, whether we, the men of the pen, cannot emulate the men of the road? A while ago, a friend engaged in my own profession, making his ;£iooo a year, showed me his half-yearly account of his two little boys at school. These little heroes of six and seven, who are at an excellent school, where they are well provided for, came home with a little bill in their pocket which amounted to the sum of £75 for the half-year. Now think of this poor paterfamilias, earning his moderate £1000 a year, out of which he has his life-assurance, his income-tax, and his house-rent to pay, with three or four poor relations to support — for doubtless we are all blessed with those appendages — with the heavy bills of his wife and daughters for millinery and mantua-making to meet, especially at their present enormous makes and sizes — think of this overburdened man having to pay £7$ for one half- year's schooling for his little boys ! Let the gentlemen of the press, then, try to devise some scheme which shall benefit them, as you have undoubtedly benefited by what you have accomplished for yourselves. We are all travellers and voyagers who must embark on life's ocean ; and before you send your boys to sea, you teach them to swim, to navigate the ship, and guide her into port. The last time I visited America two years ago, I sailed on board the Africa, Captain Harrison. As she was steaming out of Liverpool one fine blowy October day, and was hardly over the bar, when, animated by those peculiar sensations not un- common to landsmen at the commencement of a sea- voyage, I was holding on amidship, up comes a
i857] SPEECHES 109
quick-eyed, shrewd-looking little man, who holds on to the next rope to me, and says, "Mr. Thackeray, I am the representative of the house of Appleton and Co., of Broadway, New York — a most liberal and enterprising firm, who will be most happy to do busi- ness with you." I don't know that we then did any business in the line thus delicately hinted at, because at that particular juncture we were both of us called, by a heavy lurch of the ship, to a casting up of accounts of a far less agreeable character.

Speech at the Royal Theatrical Fund Dinner, 1858 1
GENTLEMEN, having seldom— only once before in my life — been called upon to fill such a chair as this, and not possessing that happy genius and skill for the post which belongs to a friend of mine that I think sits not very far from me, I thought I would make up by previous assiduity and deep study for the want of elocutionary power, which I must confess to, and therefore determined upon going through a long course of reading with regard to the drama from the very beginning, proposing to favour you with a lecture of two or three hours, beginning with the very com- mencement and continuing to the Chinese drama, the Turkish drama, the Indian drama, and so forth. The commencement of the drama, Gentlemen, as I find, was about 570 or 580 years before our era. It happened at the time when one of the celebrated seven sages of Greece flourished, Solon — a superior, a sage, an utterer of sayings, a person of very great eminence of his time, and I have introduced him to you because I wish you to admire my own assiduity and great learn- ing with regard to ancient times, and also because I

thought myself that I would enjoy a little puzzle which I am sure many ingenious minds here present must feel at this moment while thinking to themselves, what on earth has the sage Solon to do with the toast of the evening ? You shall now be illuminated upon this point. The sage Solon being, then, one of the greatest person- ages in Athens, was pleased to command a dramatic representation from Thespis, who was the founder of tragedy, who was the discoverer of tragedy, who went about with a stage waggon, upon which he made his various visits.
Having witnessed his performance, the great Solon sent for Thespis — the great Solon had a large stick in his hand at the time. Thespis came up, and he said to this poor wandering manager, "Sir, how dare you utter such a parcel of nonsense and lies before any public assembly?" The manager meekly remonstrated with him, and represented to him that harmless inter- ludes and songs were not intended to be absolute matters of fact, but were merely intended to amuse and enliven the people around ; upon which the great Solon thumped upon the ground with his great stick, and said to him — "Sir, begone; the man who would tell such fibs from the stage would not hesitate to forge a bill of exchange." That anecdote is narrated in the life of Solon by Plutarch, and I give you my word of honour that I never read a single word of the Life, and I never purpose to read it after that specimen of the great Solon's sense and humour. 780 — I think I said just now 580. We have now arrived at 1858. Add these up together. What number of years have passed away ! the great Solon is called to his rest,
112 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
and poor Thespis goes no longer on his circuit. Every actor here present, and I am sure every gentleman who sits before the curtain, is aware how dramatic characters are represented over and over and over again ; and so, although Solon is dead long ago, he is perfectly alive ; and although Thespis has passed to his fathers, his successors are still amongst us. Suppose when your treasurer was making that affecting journey of which he told us in one of those speeches upon one of these occasions — when he was travelling his sixty miles' journey with a friend of his with fourpence- halfpenny in his pocket, with a draught of skim milk for his breakfast, with leaky pumps, and a painted calico waistcoat, and a brave heart underneath it — suppose Solon had overtaken him, driving in his family barouche with the young ladies by his side ! Solon, I fear, would have had a light opinion of Thespis ; he would have surveyed that waistcoat with great dubiousness ; he would have thought how much superior was he, the great magistrate, to these poor wandering managers treading manfully upon life's great road. Solon is rife amongst us now. There was a Solon of whom I read not long since, who, speaking even of my professional avocation, said, " I don't read novels ; I have read one, but I don't like them, because they are not true." That is worthy of Solon. Solon will be a pompous humbug. We thank heaven that he is better than the poor wan- dering actor and the poor manager, and though he laughs and makes sport for us, you must recollect that Solon has not got an ear for music or a heart for humour. Let us give him this charitable surmise, and rejoice that it is his dulness which acts against us, and
1858] SPEECHES 113
give him no more unfavourable feeling. But because Solon is wise — because Solon is so wise — because Solon is so good — because Solon is so virtuous — is that any reason that there should be no more cakes and ale?
Now, Gentlemen, in spite of him, and in spite of his virtue, and in spite of his squeamishness, all youth, all life, all humour, laugh in his face and say, M We will have our sport ; Harlequin shall put his arm round Columbine's waist, and dance that delightful dance ; Clown shall prig the sausages, and bear false witness against Pantaloon ; Hamlet shall kill his wicked old uncle the King ; we will have our tears, we will have our pleasure, we will have our laughter, we will have our sympathies, we will have our kindly amusements, ind we will have our generous feelings, in spite of all the Solons in the world, although we have bran- dished against us a stick as thick as a beadle's."
And I trust that when Solon comes to look at the scheme and accounts rendered of a society like this — when he sees how prudent you are disposed to become — how thrifty, how generous, how charitable, he will begin to have a very much greater respect for Thespis in his leaky pumps and cotton waistcoat than he was disposed
have when he met him trudging early upon the road. Let him think of this society and of its prosperity, and how proud all the members of it ought to be.
She is but twenty years old ; she has saved £10,000, which is now in the bank ; she has during that time expended many hundreds ; she has helped the needy ; she has taken charge of the sick ; she has relieved the orphan ; she has taken to their last homes, and provided the last homes for the friendless poor; and she has done 11.— i
114 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
incalculably more than that, because she has enabled men and women who have never come to the society at all to think that if the utmost necessity came there was such a society to which they should apply, though, thank heaven, their own powers and better fortune have not yet called upon them to apply to it.
It is always a great consolation to the subscribers to such a society as this to know that there is a bank upon which they can draw as of right and without shame, and I hope we shall hear that this society will increase daily — that this means of usefulness will be known throughout the whole of the dramatic profes- sion, and that we shall have a larger subscription, not merely round the table, but I mean from members of the Society, every day, as they recognise this admirable usefulness and efficiency. As for the profession and the gentlemen here present, I know that there is no need of recommending the society to them — they are aware how excellent it is — they have seen its workings, and they will advocate it to the utmost of their power amongst their brethren. As for us, we must always have the most friendly regard for the stage, we who owe to it such a multitude of happy hours — we who have found in our youth our great delight in it.
Now, not merely by applause by drinking healths and so forth, but I do heartily trust that all of us will mark our sense of the utility of this institution by giving stout subscriptions as far as our means will admit towards its support.
I now propose that we do most cordially drink " Health and Prosperity to the Royal General Theat- rical Fund,"

Royal Academy Dinner, May, 1858 l
MY Lords, Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen, — Permit me to say that had it not been for the direct act of my friend who has just sat down, I should most likely never have been included in the toast which you have been pleased to drink ; and I should have tried to be, not a writer, but a painter, or designer of pictures. That was the object of my early ambition, and I can remember when Mr. Dickens was a very young man, and had commenced delighting the world with some charming humorous works, of which I cannot mention the name, but which were coloured light green, and came out once a month, this young man wanted an artist to illustrate his writings, and I recollect walking up to his chambers in Furnival's Inn with two or three drawings in my hand, which strange to say, he did not find suitable. But for that unfor- tunate blight which came over my artistical existence, it would have been my pride and my pleasure to have endeavoured one day to find a place on these walls for one of my performances. This disappointment caused me to direct my attention to a different walk of art, and now I can only hope to be " translated " on these

walls, as I have been, thanks to my talented friend Mr. Egg. I shall, however, ever think with pride and pleasure of my name having been mentioned from that chair, always connecting it with the person who first sat in it. You, Sir, know whence he came, and we, gentlemen, are all aware that the knight of Plymouth has not left the knight of Plympton behind him. Sir Joshua Reynolds was one of the most delightful of men, and to have been well spoken of from his chair is one of the greatest gratifications I could experience. The men of my profession have long been connected with painters. I myself have had the happiness to num- ber several among the dearest friends of my life. You yourself, Sir, have mentioned that Goldsmith always attended these anniversaries ; and I understand that Johnson too was present in the very last year of his life. Despite the shortness of his breath, he delighted to walk up the stairs of the Royal Academy, and sit at the feast of the good Sir Joshua. And we who have no asthma, nor any long steps to get up, shall always be happy to receive your welcome and par- take of your hospitality.

Royal Literary Fund Dinner, June 22, 1859 l
SIR, in his natural wish to be agreeable to me, my friend at my right hand asked me, if there was any point which he, with his skilled eloquence, could urge upon the Society which might be pleasing to them and to me, who must be the object of his speech. I said to him (and he will bear witness to the truth of what I have said) that the most pleasing thing to me would be for him to say that I had known him twenty-five years ; that we have been good friends all the time ; that our fortunes have gone on from college up to the present time, and here at last we are, post tot naufragia, kind friends and good allies. I have no claim to appear before you as a representative of Letters at all, except on this account, that for nearly a quarter of a century I have been a struggling literary man of no other profession than that, getting on as best I could, and arriving here, hearing kind voices around me, especially that of my friend, pointing me out to your good notice. I was glad to come forward as, I may say, a veteran of twenty-

U7
n8 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY five years' standing in my literary profession, to appear here as an old soldier among you, and to bear testimony to the excellence of this Society, and the countless benefits which I believe it has conferred. I know it from what I have read in its books — I know it from what I have heard from my friends ; and I am person- ally grateful for my own part, because I have had, on various occasions, to recommend cases to this Society, and I have found that they have been always listened to with the most delicate sympathy — that they have been constantly relieved in the most admirable way. I am, therefore, glad at this moment especially, to give my humble testimony, and to add (as soon as Mr. Bell will give me the paper) my humble subscription towards the benevolent objects which have collected us together. I say this the more, sir, because I have read outside of this place (which you possibly may not, sir) special injunctions to yourself to think about the matter. There appears to have sprung up a singular hostility against the most benevolent, the most kindly, the most harmless Society that I have ever heard of. I read, and I took it down, in order that there might be no mistake, a paragraph that was printed only last Saturday, which was an appeal to the Chairman here ; and it contains this remark — " I wonder whether Mr. Gladstone in his speech will touch on the trouble which gives the Literary Fund the nickname of *. The Rupture Society.'" In another paper a remark was made respecting a cer- tain legacy of books, which some gentleman (whose death I hope is far off) proposed to leave to this Society, at the termination of his and another life — these lives having lasted at present forty-five years of our time,
i859l SPEECHES 119
because there was a sort of demur on the part of that Society to receive those books (not to refuse) but simply saying, " We will wait and submit the matter to a general meeting." The writer said, "This is flinging pearls before swine." The pearls, of course, meaning the books ; and the swine meaning the present honour- able company. Now surely it is a little hard, is it not, for a kind, harmless, generous Society, always holding out the hand of benefaction, uttering no unkind word, scarcely even attempting to defend itself, never attack- ing, but being ever ready, — as Mr. Blewitt will be, — however poor a man may be, however abusive he may have been in former times, being always ready, I say, with the money at the proper time — it is a little hard, that the practitioners of the press should use language like that I have been alluding to. Now, have any of you, in the course of your experience in the varied societies in which you move — have you ever heard this Society generally called by the name of "The Rupture Society " ? I confess, until I saw the elegant phrase in a paper which I read with. great assiduity, and which is illuminated by the most beautiful draw- ings, I never heard of it ; and I cannot conceive whether it was owing to the elegant sphere in which the author moves, or whether it was of his own natural wit and genius that he should have lighted upon this phrase which I now introduce. As to the other expression, just see what it amounts to. You who have done no earthly harm, and only mean kindness, who only mean to do good as far as ever you can — you are told that in demurring to accept a certain proposal that is made to you, you are acting utterly wrong, and that the benefi-
120 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
cent donors are merely casting "pearls before swine." Now pearls are very bad food for pigs, and for men too. If we at this dinner had had put before us books in the most elegant bindings, however much we might relish those books and devour them in our own rooms, I imagine we should be very little satisfied with our dinner. And so I believe with regard to this Society, that the making us a present of books, at least at this present moment, is not to be spoken of at all. We do not want books so far as I fancy. We want beef, we want bread, we want fires for the children to sit by, and help for the poor and distressed. As for books, every literary man, however seedy his coat may be, however narrow his means, every decent literary man has the power of applying to the finest library in the whole world, where under the care of my friend, Mr. Panizzi, he may sit under the noblest dome in the whole world, and feast on such a refection of books as never could be got together in a private society, and within forty or fifty yards of the very building we occupy. Gentlemen, I do not know for what earthly reason people are perpetually throwing mud at all. It was not as a literary man, not merely as a writer of novels, that I came here, but as a supporter, as an admirer, and a cordial friend to this Society.

THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
SEVERAL Bibliographies of Thackeray have been published during the last eight-and- twenty years. The first to appear, in 1880, was by Mr. Richard Heme Shepherd, and this, with many additions, was reprinted six years later at the end of Sultan Stork, and other Papers, by W. M. Thackeray. In 1888 was issued, by Mr. Charles Plumptre Johnson, a brochure on The Earlier Writings of William Make- peace Thackeray, which contained much valuable in- formation ; in 1 891 was published a Bibliography by Mr. John P. Anderson, of the British Museum, ap- pended to a monograph on Thackeray written by Mr. Herman Merivale and Mr. (now Sir Frank T.) Marzials ; and in 1899 appeared, almost simultaneously, a Biblio- graphy of First Editions by Mr. W. J. Williams (in Vol. XIII of the Biographical Edition of Thackeray's Works), and a general Bibliography in the Appendix to my Life of William Makepeace Thackeray.
Subsequent to the publication of these works have been printed Mr. M. H. Spielmann's volume, Thack- eray's Hitherto Unidentified Contributions to "Punch" (1899), and Mr. F. S. Dickson's Bibliography of Tliackerayin the United States (in Vol. II of Thackeray in the United States, by General J. G. Wilson) ; while
II.— L I45
146 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
many articles and drawings recently discovered have been inserted in Macmillan's edition of Thackeray's Works, edited by me from the eighth volume (1904-7); The New Sketch Book, edited by Mr. R. S. Garnett (1906); The Oxford Thackeray, edited by Professor Saintsbury (1908), etc.
The items discovered since the appearance of my Bibliography ten years ago run into hundreds, and, besides, publications then believed to be first editions have, mainly owing to the investigation of Mr. Dickson, been shown to have been issued pre- viously in America. I have thought it better, therefore, not to attempt to revise and enlarge the Bibliography of 1899, but to start afresh and compile an entirely new list, for which I may certainly claim, that it is the most complete yet issued. Every care has been taken to check the entries, but in so large a number it is more than probable that errors have crept in ; and, with a view to correction in another edition, I shall be greatly obliged to those who will trouble to send me informa- tion of mistakes or omissions. I take this opportunity to acknowledge my indebtedness to all previous writers on the subject, and to express my gratitude to those who have given me assistance during the progress of this task : to Mr. M. H. Spielmann, Mr. Walter Jerrold, Mr. C. E. S. Chambers, Mr. W. Lawrence Bradbury, Mr. F. J. Hall, of the Oxford University Press, Baron Tauchnitz, Messrs. Macmillan and Co., Limited, Messrs. Blackwood and Sons, and Messrs. William Collins, Sons, and Co., Limited, Messrs. Thomas Nelson and Sons, and Messrs. Charles Scrib- ner's Sons. I have to thank Mr. Walter T. Spencer, of
BIBLIOGRAPHY 147
27 New Oxford Street, London, for having kindly sup- plied me with full particulars (printed in the following pages) of the Miscellanies, published in parts during 1855-7. To Mr. Frederick S. Dickson I am especially indebted, not only for the interest he has shown in my labours, but also for his generous aid extending over the three years I have been engaged on the compilation of the Bibliography.
I have adopted the simple method of inserting in chronological order all Thackeray's writings and draw- ings, as well as all the editions of his books until the year 1867, when the first collected edition of his works appeared. When an item has been reprinted in a magazine, etc., before being inserted in a volume of Thackeray's works, this is mentioned in the entry referring to its original appearance. From the year 1867, while, of course, noting everything published for the first time, I have entered only those volumes that contain writings or drawings included in book-form for the first time, and those which contain such a distinctive feature as an Introduction or new Illustra- tions.
I have made no attempt to discover for the purposes of this Bibliography " possible" articles in papers to which Thackeray was known to contribute, Galig- nani's Messenger, the Examiner, the Morning Chronicle, etc. ; but there are inserted, printed in italics, certain articles in Eraser's Magazine and elsewhere that may have been written by him.
With the object of saving space and avoiding confu- sion, I have, rather than describe an article as accom- panied by, say, "two pictorial Initial Letters and three
148 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
Illustrations," counted Initial Letters as Illustra- tions, and entered such an item as having " Five Illus- trations."
All changes of title have been carefully observed, and cross-references are given in the text, in the item where the change occurs, and also in the Index.
The few works and volumes of magazines that have
not passed through my hands are indicated by an
asterisk.

' Major Gahagan's Reminiscences,' from the New Monthly Magazine, were re- ceived by our American brethren with similar piratical honours."

This was printed in facsimile of the manuscript at Thackeray's request. "Dear Bevan," he wrote, when he saw an ordinary proof, " I don't like the looks of the ballad at all in print, but if you please prefer to have it in this way exactly. 'Be blowed.' It would never do in a printed ballad of Yours very truly, W. M. Thackeray."

THE WORKS OF ANATOLE FRANCE
T has long been a reproach to England that only one volume by ANATOLE FRANCE has been adequately rendered into English ; yet outside this country he shares with TOLSTOI the distinction of being the greatest and most daring student of humanity living.
U There have been many difficulties to encounter in completing arrangements for a uniform edition, though perhaps the chief bar- rier to publication here has been the fact that his writings are not for babes — but for men and the mothers of men. Indeed, some of his Eastern romances are written with biblical can- dour. M I have sought truth strenuously," he tells us, " I have met her boldly. I have never turned from her even when she wore an
THE WORKS OF ANATOLE FRANCE
unexpected aspect." Still, it is believed that the day has come for giving English versions of all his imaginative works, as well as of his monumental study JOAN OF ARC, which is undoubtedly the most discussed book in the world of letters to-day.
H MR. JOHN LANE has pleasure in announcing that the following volumes are either already published or are passing through the press.
THE RED LILY
MOTHER OF PEARL

THE CRIME OF SYLVESTRE BONNARD
BALTHASAR
THE WELL OF ST. CLARE

BROCHE JOCASTA AND THE FAMISHED CAT THE ELM TREE ON THE MALL THE WICKER-WORK WOMAN AT THE SIGN OF THE QUEEN PEDAUQUE THE OPINIONS OF JEROME COIGNARD MY FRIEND'S BOOK THE ASPIRATIONS OF JEAN SERVIEN JOAN OF ARC (2 vols.)
f All the books will be published at 6/- each with the exception of JOAN OF ARC, which will be 25/- net the two volumes, with eight Illustrations.
fl The format of the volumes leaves little to be desired. The size is Demy 8vo (9 X 5f), and they are printed from Caslon type upon a paper light in weight and strong of texture, with a cover design in crimson and gold, a gilt top, end-papers from designs by Aubrey Beardsley and initials by Henry Ospovat. In short, these are volumes for the biblio- phile as well as the lover of fiction, and form perhaps the cheapest library edition of copyright novels ever published, for the price is only that of an ordinary novel,
f The translation of these books has been entrusted to such competent French scholars as mr. Alfred allinson,
MR. FREDERIC CHAPMAN. MR. ROBERT B. DOUGLAS,
THE WORKS OF ANATOLE FRANCE
MR. A. W. EVANS, MRS. FARLEY, MR. LAFCADIO HEARN, MRS. W. S. JACKSON, MRS. JOHN LANE, MRS. NEWMARCH, MR. C. E. ROCHE, MISS WINIFRED STEPHENS, and MISS M. P. WILLCOCKS.
H As Anatole Thibault, dit Anatole France, is to most English readers merely a name, it will be well to state that he was born in 1844 in the picturesque and inspiring surroundings of an old bookshop on the Quai Voltaire, Paris, kept by his father, Monsieur Thibault, an authority on eighteenth-century history, from whom the boy caught the passion for the principles of the Revolution, while from his mother he was learning to love the ascetic ideals chronicled in the Lives of the Saints. He was schooled with the lovers of old books, missals and manuscripts ; he matriculated on the Quais with the old Jewish dealers of curios and objeti (Fart ; he graduated in the great university of life and experience. It will be recognised that all his work is permeated by his youthful impressions ; he is, in fact, a virtuoso at large.
U He has written about thirty volumes of fiction. His first novel was JOCASTA W THE FAMISHED CAT (1879). THE CRIME OF SYLVESTRE BONNARD appeared in 1881, and had the distinction of being crowned by the French Academy, into which he was received in 1896.
% His work is illuminated with style, scholarship, and psychology ; but its outstanding features are the lambent wit, the gay mockery, the genial irony with which he touches every subject he treats. But the wit is never malicious, the mockery never derisive, the irony never barbed. To quote from his own GARDEN OF EPICURUS : " Irony and Pity are both of good counsel ; the first with her smiles makes life agreeable, the other sanctifies it to us with her tears. The Irony I invoke is no cruel deity. She mocks neither love nor beauty. She is gentle and kindly disposed. Her mirth disarms anger and it is she teaches us to laugh at rogues and fools whom but for her we might be so weak as to hate."
U Often he shows how divine humanity triumphs over mere asceticism, and with entire reverence ; indeed, he might be described as an ascetic overflowing with humanity, just as he has been termed a " pagan, but a pagan constantly haunted by the pre-occupation of Christ." He is in turn — like his own Choulette in THE RED LILY — saintly and Rabelaisian, yet without incongruity.
THE WORKS OF ANATOLE FRANCE
At all times he is the unrelenting foe of superstition and hypocrisy. Of himself he once modestly said : " You will find in my writings perfect sincerity (lying demands a talent I do not possess), much indulgence, and some natural affection for the beautiful and good."
fl The mere extent of an author's popularity is perhaps a poor argument, yet it is significant that two books by this author are in their HUNDRED AND TENTH THOU- SAND,and numbersof them well intotheir SEVENTIETH THOUSAND, whilst the one which a Frenchman recently described as " Monsieur France's most arid book" is in its FIFTY-EIGHTH THOUSAND.
f Inasmuch as M. FRANCE'S ONLY contribution to an English periodical appeared in THE YELLOW BOOK, vol. v., April 1895, together with the first important English appreciation of his work from the pen of the Hon. Maurice Baring, it is peculiarly appropriate that the English edition of his works should be issued from the Bodley Head.

*»* It was Schiller who said: " Twine no wreath for the actor, since his work is oral and ephemeral." "Stars of the Stage" may in some degree remove this reproach. There are hundreds of thousands of playgoers, and both editor and publisher think it reasonable to assume that a considerable number of these would like to know something about actors, actresses, and dramatists, whose work they nightly applaud. Each volume will be carefully illustrated, and as far as text, printing, and paper are concerned zvill be a notable book. Great care has been taken in selecting the biographers, who in most cases have already accumulated much appropriate material.

*** Ralph Heathcote, the son of an English father and an Alsatian mother, was for some time in the English diplomatic service as first secretary to Mr. Brook Taylor, minister at the Court of Hesse, and on one occasion found himself very near to making history. Napoleon became persuaded that Taylor was implicated in a plot to procure his assassina- tion, and insisted on his dismissal from the Hessian Court. As Taylor refused to be dismissed, the incident at one time seemed likely to result to the Elector in the loss of his throne. Heathcote came into contact with a number of notable people, including the Miss Berrys, with whom he assures his mother he is not in love. On the whole, there is much interesting material for lovers of old letters and journals.

Few novels possess the fascination of this spirited work, and many readers will hope that the author will carry out his proposal of giving us a further series of memories of the 'Women of the Second Empire.'"

the world. The translation is excellent, and worth reading for its own sake." Contemporary Review. — " The book's appeal is, of course, primarily to the music-lover ; but there is so much of human and literary interest in it, such intimate revelation of a singularly interesting personality, that many who have never come under the spell of the Pathetic Symphony will be strongly attracted by what is virtually the spiritual autobiograpby of its composer. High praise is due to the translator and editor for the literary skill with which she has prepared the English version of this fascinating work . . . There have been few collections of letters published within recent years that give so vivid a portrait of the writer as that presented to us in these pages."

8 A CATALOGUE OF
THE LIFE OF JOAN OF ARC. By Anatole France.
A Translation by Winifred Stephens. With 8 Illustrations. Demy 8vo, 9 x 5f inches, 2 vols. Price 25s. net.
*** Joan of Arc, by her friends accounted a saint, by her enemies a witch, stands out the one supreme figure of the French 15th century ; that period of storm and stress, that titne of birth-giving from which proceeded the glories of the Renaissance. Bitter con- troversy raged round the Maid in her life-time. Round her story to-day literary polemic waxes high; and her life by Anatole France is the most eagerly discussed book of the century. That it presents a life-like picture of ttie time critics of all parties agree. Its author has well equipped himself with the best erudition of the last thirty years. To the fruits of these researches he has added profound philosophy and true historical insight, and thus into consummate literary art he has painted a more vivid picture of the French i$th century than has ever yet been presented in any literature. The Maid herself Monsieur France regards not as a skilful general or a wily politician as some •writers have endeavoured to make out, but as above all things a saint. It was by her purity and innate goodness that she triumphed. "It was not Joan who drove the English out of France . . . And yet the young saint played the noblest part in the salvation of her country. Hers was the part of sacrifice. She set the example of high courage and gave to heroism a new and attractive form.
THE DAUGHTER OF LOUIS XVI.
Marie-Therese-Charlotte of France, Duchesse D'Angouleme. By G. Lenotre.
With 13 Full-page Illustrations. Demy 8vo. Price ioj-. 6d. net.
*»* M. G. Lenotre is perhaps the most widely read of a group of modern French writers •who have succeeded in treating history from a point of view at once scientific, dramatic and popular. He has made the Revolution his particular field of research, and deals not only with the most prominent figures of that period, but with many minor characters whose life-stories are quite as thrilling as anything in fiction. The localities in which these dramas were enacted are vividly brought before us in his works, for no one has reconstructed iSth century Paris with more picturesque and accurate detail. " The Daughter of Louis XVI." is quite equal in interest and literary merit to any of the volumes which have preceded it, not excepting the famous Drama of Varennes. As usual, M. Lenotre draws his material largely from contemporary documents, and among the most remarkable memoirs reproduced in this book are " The Story of my Visit to the Temple " by Harmand de la Meuse, and the artless, but profoundly touching narrative of the unhappy orphaned Princess: "A manuscript written by Marie ThJrese Charlotte of France upon the captivity of the Princes and Princesses, her relatives, imprisoned in the Temple." The illustrations are a feature of tin volume and include the so-called " telescope" portrait of the Princess, sketched from life by an anonymous artist, stationed at a window opposite her prison in the tower of the Temple.

and Work. By W. H. James Weale. With 41 Photogravure and 95 Black and White Reproductions. Royal 4-to. £5 5/. net.
Sir Martin Conway's Note. Nearly half a century has passed since Mr. W. H. James Weale, then resident at Bruges, began that long series of patient investigations into the history of Netherlandish art which was destined to earn so rich a harvest. When he began work Mem line was still called H ending, and was fabled to have arrived at Bruges as a wounded soldier. The van Eycks were little more than legendary heroes. Roger Van der Weyden was little more than a name. Most of the other great Netherlandish artists were either wholly forgotten or named only in connection with paintings with which tluy had nothing to do. Mr. Weale discovered Gerard David, and disentangled his principal works from Mem- line's, with which they were then confused. During a series of years he published in the " Beffroi," a magazine issued by himself, the many important records from ancient archives which threw a flood of light upon the whole origin and development of the early Netherlandish school. By universal admission he is hailed all over Europe as the father of this study. It is due to him in great measure that the masterpieces of that school, which by neglect were in danger of perishing /if ty years ago, are now recognised as among the most priceless treasures of the Museums of Europe and the United States. Full- ness and accuracy are the characteristics of all Mr. Weale's work.
VINCENZO FOPPA OF BRESCIA, Founder of
the Lombard School, His Life and Work. By Constance Jocelyn Ffoulkes and Monsignor Rodolfo Majocchi, d.d., Rector of the Collegio Borromeo, Pavia. Based on research in the Archives of Milan, Pavia, Brescia, and Genoa, and on the study of all his known works. With over 100 Illustrations, many in Photogravure, and 100 Documents. Royal 4-to. ^3. I is. 6d. net.
*»* No complete Life of Vincenzo Foppa has ever been written: an omission which seems almost inexplicable in these days of over-production in the matter of bio- graphies of painters, and of subjects relating to the art of Italy. The object of the autlwrs of this book has been to present a true picture of the master's life based upon the testimony of records in Italian archives; all facts hitherto known relating to him have been brought together ; all statements have been verified; and a great deal of new and unpublished material has been added. The authors have unearthed a large amount of new material relating to Foppa, one of the most interesting facts brought to light being that he lived for twenty-three years longer than was formerly supposed. The illustrations will include several pictures by Foppa hitherto unknown in the history of art, and others which have never before been Published, as well as reproductions of every existing work by the master at present known.
MEMOIRS OF THE DUKES OF URBINO.
Illustrating the Arms, Art and Literature of Italy from 1440 to 1630. By James Dennistoun of Dennistoun. A New Edition edited by Edward Hutton, with upwards of 100 Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 3 vols. 42/. net.
*»* For many years this great book has been out of print, although it still remains the chief authority upon the Duchy of Urbino from the beginning of the fifteenth century. Mr. Hutton has carefully edited the whole work, leaving the text substantially the same, but adding a large number of new notes, comments and references. Wherever possible the reader is directed to original sources. Every sort of work has been laid under contribution to illustrate the text, and bibliographies have been supplied on many subjects. Besides these notes the book acquires a new value on account of the mass of illustrations which it now contains, thus adding a pictorial comment to an historical and critical one.
io A CATALOGUE OF
THE PHILOSOPHY OF LONG LIFE. By
Jean Finot. A Translation by Harry Roberts. Demy 8vo. (9x5! inches), js. 6d. net.
*** This is a translation of a book which has attained to the position of a classic. It has already been translated into almost every language, and has, in France, gone into four- teen editions in the course of a few years. The book is an exhaustive one, and although based on science and philosophy it is in no sense abstruse or remote from general interest. It deals with life as embodied not only in man and in the animal and vegetable worlds, but in all that great world of (as the author holds) misnamed " inanimate" nature as well. For M. Finot argues that all things have life and consciousness, and that a solidarity exists which brings together all beings and so-called things. He sets himself to work to show that life, in its philosophic conception, is an elemental force, and durable as nature herself.
THE DIARY OF A LADY-IN-WAITING. By
Lady Charlotte Bury. Being the Diary Illustrative or the Times of George the Fourth. Interspersed with original Letters from the late Queen Caroline and from various other distinguished persons. New edition. Edited, with an Introduction, by A. Francis Steuart. With numerous portraits. Two Vols. Demy 8vo. lis. net.
*** This book, which appeared anonymously in 1838, created an enormous sensation, and was fiercely criticised by Thackeray and in the Reviews of the titne. There is no doubt that it was founded on the diary of Lady Charlotte Bury, daughter of the $th Duke *f Argyll, and Lady-in- Waiting to the unfortunate Caroline of Brunswick, when Princess of Wales. It deals, therefore, with the curious Court of the latter and with the scandals that occurred there, as 'well as with the strange vagaries of the Princess abroad. In this edition names left blank in the original have been (where possible) filled up, and many notes are given by the Editor to render it useful to the ever-increasing number of readers interested in the later Georgian Period.

Westminster Gazette. — " Few letters in the language have in such perfection the qualities which good letters should possess.

admirably by Mr. Vizetelly. I can promise any one who takes it up that he will find it
very difficult to lay it down again."

MEMOIRS OF A VANISHED GENERATION
1 813-1855. Edited by Mrs. Warrenne Blake. With numerous Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 16s. net.
*»* This work is compiled from diaries and letters dating from the time of tlu Regency to the middle of the nineteenth century. The value of the work lies in its natural un- embellished picture of the life of a cultured and well-born family in a foreign environment at a period so close to our own that it is far less familiar than periods much more remote. There is an atmosphere of Jane A usten's novels about the lives of Admiral Knox and his family, and a large number of well-known contemporaries are introduced into Mrs. Blake's pages.
CESAR FRANCK : A Study. Translated from the

*»* There is no purer influence in modern music than that of Cesar Franck, for many years ignored in every capacity save that of organist ofSainte-Clotiide, in Paris, but now recognised as the legitimate successor of Bach and Beethoven. His inspiration " rooted in love and faith " has contributed in a remarkable degree to the regeneration of the musical art in France and elsewhere. The now famous " Schola Cantorum," founded in Paris in 1896, by A. Guilmant, Charles Bordcs and Vincent dlndy, is the direct outcome of his influence. Among the artists who were in some sort his disciples were Paul Dukas, Chabrier, Gabriel Faure" and the great violinist Ysaye. His pupils include such gifted composers as Benolt, Augusta Holmes, Chausson, Ropartz, and eC Indy, This book, •written with the devotion of a disciple and the authority of a master, leaves us with. a vivid and touching impression of the saint-like composer of " The Beatitudes."

Gilchrist. Edited with an Introduction by W.Graham Robertson. Numerous Reproductions from Blake's most characteristic and remarkable designs. Demy 8vo. 10/. 6d. net. New Edition.
Birmingham Post. — "Nothing seems at all likely ever to supplant the Gilchrist biography. Mr. Swinburne praised it magnificently in his own eloquent essay on Blake, and there should be no need now to point out its entire sanity, understanding keenness of critical insight, and masterly literary style. Dealing with one of the most difficult of subjects, it ranks among the finest things of its kind that we possess."

Even Philistines may be won over by the blandishments of Mr. Le Gallienne."

Daily Telegraplu — " Mr. Craig has set out to present him (Lord Chesterfield) as one of the striking figures of a formative period in our modern history . . . and has succeeded in giving us a very attractive biography of a remarkable man."
Times. — " It is the chief point of Mr. Craig's book to show the sterling qualities which Chesterfield was at too much pains in concealing, to reject the perishable trivialities of bis character, and to exhibit him as a philosophic statesman, not inferior to any of his contemporaries, except Walpole at one end of his life, and Chatham at the other."

Daily News. — "Miss Valentina Hawtrey has given a most excellent English version of this
pleasant work." Academy. — " The fourteenth-century fancy plays delightfully around the meagre details of
the Gospel narrative, and presents the heroine in quite an unconventional light. . . .
In its directness and artistic simplicity and its wealth of homely detail the story reads
like the work of some Boccaccio of the cloister ; and fourteen illustrations taken from
Italian painters happily illustrate the charming text."

Douglas Sladkn in the Queen. — "This is indisputably a most valuable contribution to the literature of the eighteenth century. It is a veritable storehouse of society gossip, the art criticism, and the mots of famous people."
Academy and Literature. — "The effect consists in no particular passages, but in the total impression, the sense of atmosphere, and the general feeling that we are being introduced into the very society in which the writer moved."
Daily News. — " To Miss Alice Gaussen is due the credit of sortingout the vast collection of correspondence which is here presented to the public. . . . Her industry is indefatigable, and her task has been carried out with completeness. The notes are full of interesting items ; the introduction is exhaustive ; and the collection of illustrations enhances the value of the book."

ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON, AN ELEGY; AND OTHER POEMS, MAINLY PERSONAL. By Richard Le Gallienne. Crown 8vo. 4/. 6d. net.

critic with quite uncommon skill."

The Times. — " . . . the leading features of the sonnets are the writer's intense sympathy with human life in general and with young life in particular ; his humour, his music, and, in a word, the quality which ' leaves a melody afloat upon the brain, a savour on the mental palate.'
Bookman. — "The Memoir, by Mr. W. A. Gill, is a sympathetic sketch of an earnest and lovable character ; and the critical estimate, by J. Addington Symonds, is a charmingly- written and suggestive essay."
APOLOGIA DIFFIDENTIS. By W. Compton
Leith. Demy 8vo. 7/. 6d. net.
*»* The bock, which is largely autobiographical, describes the effect of diffidence upon an individual life, and contains, with a consideration of the nature of shyness, a plea for a kindlier judgment of the inveterate case.
Daily Mail. — " Mr. Leith has written a very beautiful book, and perhaps the publisher's claim that this will be a new classic is not too bold."

Daily Chronicle. — " It is a remarkable thing and probably unique, that a writer of such personality as the author of ' Between the Acts ' should not only feel, but boldly put on paper, his homage and complete subjection to the genius of one after another of these men. He is entirely free from that one common virtue of critics, which is superiority to the author criticised."
