Excerpt from Thackeray's London: A Description of His Haunts and the Scenes of His Novels

We have one example in Thackeray Of the grotesquely humorous descriptive power Of which Dickens was a master. It hits at the absurd nomenclature of modern London suburbs, where every box Of a house has some high-sounding name Of the sort which ornaments the fiction of the Chamber maid's Companion, and it describes the neighbourhood into which the Sedleys moved after their failure St. Adelaide.
