Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dickens Year Book
Have faith, and I wish to diffuse faith in the exist ence of beautiful things - yes, even in those con ditions of society which are degenerate, degraded and forlorn. I take it that we are born, and that we hold our sympathies, hopes and energies in trust for the Many and not for the Few. That we cannot hold in too strong a light of disgust and contempt, before our own view and that of others, all meanness, falsehood, cruelty, and oppression of every grade and kind. Above all, that nothing is high because it is in a high place, and that noth ing is low because it is in a low place. This is the lesson which we may read alike in the bright track of the stars, and in the dusty course of the poorest thing that drags its tiny legs upon the ground. - Charles Dickens: Address at Hartford, Conn., 1842.
