Description:The letters printed in this volume were written by Charles Dickens to William Henry Wills, who first became closely connected with him at the time of the foundation of the Daily News in 1846, and was afterwards for nearly twenty years his sub-editor on Household Words and All the Year Round. It may be said of these letters that their effect is to concentrate the light upon one side of Dickens's manifold and unceasing activities. They show him as an editor, ardent, but patient; sometimes impulsive, but always immovably steadfast in the execution of his purpose; firm in his grasp of principles, but resolutely careful in every detail which might serve to carry those principles into execution; himself an indefatigable worker, and not content with anything short of hard and honest work on the part of his fellow laborers; always devoted to good causes and perfectly fearless in his efforts to promote them. In regard to his relations with Wills these letters form a very remarkable record, for they show how a mere official connection, involving at first a little friction gradually developed into a perfect confidence and a warm and enduring friendship. The photographs reproduced in this book are from a collection formerly in the possession of Dudley Costello, one of the actors in the "Guild" performances of 1851 and a contributor to Household Words.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
