Some Notes on America to Be Rewritten : Suggested, With Respect, to Charles Dickens, Esq. (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Some Notes on America to Be Rewritten: Suggested, With Respect, to Charles Dickens, Esq.

Tom Pinch, Tiny Tim, Little Nell, moved them as human beings. Such of them as were parents, felt grateful to the man who had Opened up such a world of enjoyment to their little ones, grateful for the merry laugh that bub bled up, and not the less thankful for the moistened eye and swelling heart that indicated their appreciation of the characters he drew.

I think it was Thackeray who said: he thanked God that he lived in an age and in a country when and where, such a character as Little Nell was drawn; he felt gratitude to the man who drew it, when he saw the delight of his chil dren at its perusal, and watched their alternate tears and smiles.
