Book Description
Excerpt from The Novels and Tales of Charles Dickens (Boz.), Vol. 2 of 3: Containing Sketches of Every-Day Life, Etc.; Oliver Twist, and Barnaby Budge Now, as the stern and plain truth, even in the dress of this - in novels - much exalted race, was a part of the purpose of this book, I will not, for these readers, abate one hole in the Dod r's coat, or one scrap of curl-paper in the girl's dishevelled hair. I vs no faith in the delicacy which cannot bear to look upon them. I have no de sire to make proselytes among such people. I have no respect for their opinion, good or bad; do not covet their approval; and do not write for their amusement. I venture to say this without reserve; for I am not aware of any writer in our language having a respect for himself, or held in any respect by his posterity, who ever has de scended to the taste of this fastidious class.
