Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Charles Dickens: With the Life of Dickens
With regard to the speeches of Dickens - a number of which have been selected for this volume - it may be said that critics are generally agreed in praise of their high quality. He was always ready to take the chair at a meeting for any charitable purpose with which he sympathised, and his speeches on these occasions were masterpieces of their kind.
