 eray lived here seven years, and in this house wrote 
 "The Four Georges," the latter part of ''The New- 
 comes", " The Virginians", ''Lovel the Widower," the 
 opening chapters of "Philip," and the earlier " Round- 
 about Papers." Immediately after the removal to 
 Onslow Square, he went abroad with his daughters. 
 
 Three weeks of London were more than enough for 
 me, and I feel as if I had had enough of it and plea- 
 sure [he wrote to W. B. Reed, from Neuchatel, on 
 July 21, 1853]. Then I remained a month with 
 my parents ; then I brought my girls on a little 
 pleasuring tour, and it has really been a pleasuring 
 tour. We spent ten days at Baden, when I set 
 intrepidly to work again ; and have been five days in 
 Switzerland now ; not bent on going up mountains, 
 but on taking things easily. How beautiful it is ! 
 How pleasant ! How great and affable, too, the 
 landscape is ! It's delightful to be in the midst of 
 such scenes — the ideas get generous reflections from 
 them. I don't mean to say my thoughts grow moun- 
 tainous and enormous like the Alpine chain yonder ; 
 but, in fine, it is good to be in the presence of this 
 noble nature. It is keeping good company ; keeping 
 away mean thoughts. I see in the papers now and 
 again accounts of fine parties in London. Bon Dieit! 
 is it possible anyone ever wanted to go to fine London 
 parties, and are there now people sweating in Mayfair 
 routs? The European continent swarms with your 
 people. They are not all as polished as Chesterfield. 
 I wish some of them spoke French a little better. I 
 saw five of them at supper at Basle the other night 
 with their knives down their throats. It was awful ! 
 My daughter saw it, and I was obliged to say, " My 
 dear, your great-great-grandmother, one of the finest 
 ladies of the old school I ever saw, always applied 
 cold steel to her wittles. It's no crime to eat with a 
 knife," which is all very well : but I wish five of 'em 
 at a time wouldn't. . . .

 iSss] "THE NEWCOMES" 5 
 
 I am about a new story, but don't know as yet if it 
 will be any good. It seems to me I am too old for 
 story-telling ; but I want money, and shall get 20,000 
 dollars for this, of which (D.V.) I'll keep fifteen.^ 
 
 The story referred to in the letter was "The New- 
 comes," the idea of which occurred to him when he was 
 abroad. 
 
 Two years ago, walking with my children in some 
 pleasant fields, near to Berne in Switzerland, I 
 strayed from them into a little wood [he wrote in the 
 postscript to the novel] ; and, coming out of it pre- 
 sently, told them how the story had been revealed 
 to me somehow, which for twenty-three months the 
 reader has been pleased to follow. 
 
 Much of "The Newcomes " was written abroad, at 
 Rome, in Germany, and Switzerland, and at the 
 Chateau du Brecquerecque at Boulogne. In the autumn 
 of 1854 he was in London, where he had a bout of 
 illness. 
 
 I am to-day just out of bed after another, about the 
 dozenth, severe fit of spasms, which I have had this 
 year [he wrote to W. B. Reed from Onslow Gardens 
 on November 8]. My book would have been written 
 but for them, and the lectures begun, with which I 
 hope to make a few thousand more dollars for those 
 young ladies. But who knows whether I shall be 
 well enough to deliver them, or what is in store for 
 next year ?- 
 
 In the same letter he mentioned another, and last, 
 attempt to enter the Government service. 
 
 The secretaryship of our legation at Washington 
 was vacant the other day, and I instantly asked for it;

 but in the very kindest letter Lord Clarendon showed 
 how the position was impossible. First, the place 
 was given away; next, it would not be fair to appoint 
 out of the service. But the first was an excellent 
 reason, not a doubt of it. So if ever I come, as I 
 hope and trust to do this time next year, it must be at 
 my own cost ; and not the Queen's. 
 
 The first number of ''The Newcomes" appeared in 
 October 1853, and the last in August 1855. When the 
 novel was finished in the summer of the latter year, 
 Thackeray again went abroad, and at Rome caught a 
 fever, from the effects of which he never entirely 
 recovered. It was just before this illness that he began 
 to write that glorious nonsense, "The Rose and the 
 Ring." 
 
 After his recovery, Thackeray returned to London to 
 prepare the second course of lectures, which were to be 
 delivered first in America. He had thought of " Men 
 of the World " as a subject, but this was eventually 
 abandoned for "The Four Georges." The work was 
 begun in September, when the author dictated it to 
 George Hodder. Thackeray was one of the few men 
 of genius who could dictate their work, and the com- 
 mencement of this habit may probably be traced so far 
 back as 1849, when, after his illness, he was too weak to 
 sit long at a desk, and was compelled to employ an 
 amanuensis. At the house in Onslow Square he 
 usually wrote in his bedroom, for his study, a small 
 room on the ground-floor, was exposed to the noises 
 from the street. Mr. Hodder has recorded how Thack- 
 eray was sometimes in doubt as to whether he should 
 commence operations sitting or standing or walking
 
 iS55] "THE FOUR GEORGES" 7 
 
 about or lying down ; how often he would light a cigar, 
 and after pacing the room for a few minutes, would put 
 the unsmoked remnant on the mantelpiece, as if he had 
 gathered fresh inspiration from the "gentle odours" or 
 the ''sublime tobacco"; and how, when he made a 
 humorous point, which caused Mr. Hodder to laugh, 
 his own countenance would be quite unmoved.^ 
 
 The famous lectures are only three quarters done 
 [Thackeray wrote on October 11], and I must trust 
 to luck and the voyage and my previous knowledge 
 of his " heroic " character for finishing George IV. 
 
 A farewell dinner, to which allusion has already been 
 made, was given to him by his literary brethren on 
 October 11, at the London Tavern, with Dickens in the 
 chair; and on the 13th he sailed for the second time 
 Westward Ho ! 
 
 The second American tour was in most essentials a 
 repetition of the first. Again he was feted^ again the 
 lectures were applauded, and again he made money — 
 only this time far more than before. 
 
 I have been wanting to send you a line ever since 
 I have been here, and waiting for a day's quiet when 
 I could have leisure to send a letter big enough 
 to travel 3000 miles — but there never is a day's quiet 
 here. It is day after day skurry and turmoil, friends 
 calling, strangers calling, newspaper articles bawling 
 out abuse or telling absurd personalities — you know 
 the life well enough, and have undergone the perse- 
 cution in your time. The dollars hardly compensate 
 for it ; nor the extraordinary kindness and friendliness 
 of the real friends on whom one lights [he wrote to 
 Macready on November 20]. 
 
 As far as money goes I am doing great things here

 and the dollars are rolling in. I shall make all but 
 ;6^iooo in 5 weeks — though not, of course, to continue 
 at this rate. At first the papers didn't like the lectures : 
 but they are better pleased with the second reading, 
 and the public likewise, who begin to find that what 
 seems very easy is not done in a hurry. What the 
 people like is sentiment, and I could not give them 
 any of this article except about old George III whom 
 they received very tenderly. I finish him off with an 
 image taken from the death scene of an old king . . . 
 you used to know in times when you wore crowns, 
 and of whom, being dead, it was said. Vex not his 
 ghost, and let him pass, he hates him who would 
 upon the rack of this tough world stretch him out 
 longer.^ 
 
 The tour was extensive — New York, Boston, and 
 Baltimore, from which last city he wrote to W. B. Reed 
 to complain of ''wicked weather, and an opera com- 
 pany which performed on the first two lecture nights, 
 and made the audiences rather thin." At Baltimore in 
 1853 he had made the acquaintance of John P. Kennedy, 
 and on this visit he was the guest of that gentleman, 
 who gave him valuable information concerning Vir- 
 ginia, and even took him to that State so that he might 
 see things for himself. The knowledge acquired was 
 used in **The Virginians," and on the strength of this, 
 apparently, for no further evidence has been adduced, 
 several friends of Mr. Kennedy claimed that he wrote all 
 or part of the fourth chapter of the second volume 
 of "The Virginians"! Unfortunately for those who 
 advance this statement the manuscript of the novel is 
 in Thackeray's handwriting. " No doubt Mr. Kennedy

 gave my father some facts about the scenery," Lady 
 Ritchie has said ; " but I am sure my father wrote his 
 own books, for nobody else could have written them for 
 him." From Baltimore, Thackeray went to Richmond, 
 Charleston, Augusta, Savannah, Montgomery, Macon, 
 Mobile, New Orleans, Buffalo, Cincinnati, etc.; and 
 then back to New York, where he stayed with three 
 bachelor friends at the " Bower of Virtue," as he styled 
 the house. No. 604, Houston Street. 
 
 When Thackeray was in New York, a young book- 
 seller offered him a large sum to repeat the course of 
 lectures on ''The English Humourists." This he was 
 unwilling to do, but eventually yielded, partly at the 
 request of friends, and, no doubt, somewhat persuaded 
 by the handsome terms. The course was a failure 
 from the pecuniary point of view : it was too late in 
 the season for the thing ; and the lectures had been 
 printed and everyone was familiar with them. "I 
 don't mind the empty benches ; but I cannot bear to 
 see that sad, pale-faced young man as I come out, who 
 is losing money on my account," he said to Reed, 
 through whose agency the bookseller remitted the 
 money. Reed received no acknowledgment of the 
 draft, and was not a little annoyed, especially when he 
 learnt that Thackeray had sailed for home. The next 
 morning, however, came a letter from the novelist, 
 containing a certificate of deposit in a New York bank 
 for an amount sufficient to make up the bookseller's 
 
 loss.

 in Philadelphia. I didn't think of going away when 
 I left home this morning ; but it's the best way. ... I 
 think it is best to send back 25 per cent to poor 
 . Will you kindly give him the enclosed.^ 
 
 The second visit terminated in the same abrupt 
 manner as the first. " The process of saying Goodbye 
 is horrible to me — as I shook kind hands and walked 
 away out of hospitable doors at Philadelphia for the 
 last time I felt quite sad and guilty as it were," 
 Thackeray declared. "Where was the need of pro- 
 longing these adieiix? So Friday, 25th (April 1856), 
 as I walked down Broadway seeming very bright, 
 warm, and cheery, I went with my usual sudden 
 impetus straight to Collin's office, and was off the next 
 day, before I knew I was gone." His good-byes were 
 made by letter. 
 
 I tell you writing is just as dismal and disgusting 
 as saying goodbye [he wrote to William Duer 
 Robinson, "On Board, Last Day," May 7, 1856]. 
 I hate it, and but for a sense of duty I wouldn't write 
 at all — confound me if I would. But you know after 
 a fellow has been so uncommonly hospitable and 
 kind and that sort of thing, a fellow ought, you see, 
 to write and tell a fellow that a fellow's very much 
 obliged and — in a word you understand. Sir, you 
 made me happy when I was with you, you made me 
 sorry to come away, and you make me happy now 
 when I think what a kind, generous W.D.R. you 
 are. You have Davis back in the Bower of Virtue 
 — you'll fill that jug when you one day drink my 
 health, won't you? and when you come to Europe 
 you'll come to me and my girls mind, and we'll see 
 if there is not some good claret at 36, Onslow Square. 
 . . . We have had a dreary, rough passage — yester- 
 day the hardest blow of all. I have been ill with

 one of my old intermittent attacks, after which my 
 mouth broke out with an unusually brilliant eruption, 
 and I am going to Liverpool with a beard eight days 
 long. It is not becoming in its present stage. I 
 have not been seasick, but haven't been well a single 
 day. Wine is ojus to me, segars create loathing — 
 couldn't I write something funnier and more cheer- 
 ful? Perhaps I may when we are fairly in Liverpool 
 — perhaps we may be there to-night, perhaps not till 
 to-morrow morning, for it blew a hurricane in our 
 face last night, and the odds are we shall not have 
 water enough to pass the bar. 
 
 We did pass the bar [he added, when he reached 
 Onslow Square] ; and didn't I have a good dinner at 
 the Adelphi, and wasn't I glad to get back to town 
 yesterday, and wasn't there a great dinner at the 
 Garrick Club (the annual Shakspeare dinner, which 
 ought to have come off on the 23rd ult., but was 
 put off on account of the naval review), and didn't 
 I make a Yankee speech, and oh lor', Robinson, 
 haven't I got a headache this morning? I'm ashamed 
 to ask for a sober-water, that's the fact — And so 
 here's the old house, the old room, the old teapot 
 by my bedside — the old trees nodding in at my 
 window : it looks as if I'd never been away, and 
 that it's all a dream I have been making. Well, in 
 my dream I dreamt there was an uncommonly good 
 fellow, by name W D R, and I dreamed that he 
 treated me with all sorts of kindness, and I send 
 him and J C B D (i.e., J. C. Bancroft Davis) and 
 D D (Dening Duer) and what's his name, (Samuel 
 E. Lyons) downstairs? my heartiest regards, and 
 when my young women come home I shall tell them 
 what a good deal of kindness their papa had across 
 the water. ^ 
 
 Soon after his arrival in London, Thackeray, through 
 the agency of Mr. Hodder, made arrangements to 
 deliver the lectures on the " Four Georges" in London 
 
 Academia, February ig, 1868.
 
 13 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853- 
 
 and the provinces for the sum of fifty guineas each. 
 Mr. Beale, of Messrs. Cramer and Beale, had suggested 
 the terms, which Thackeray accepted without showing 
 any special elation, or letting the impresario see that 
 he thought the offer anything exceptional, though as 
 soon as Beale had left he remarked: ^' Fifty guineas 
 a night ! Why, I shouldn't have received half that 
 sum for an article in Eraser's Magazine a few years 
 ago." He was always careful never to lower the market- 
 price of his works, and after the success of "Vanity 
 Fair" had placed him in the front rank of men of 
 letters, he invariably demanded the full pecuniary value 
 of his literary labours. ''Always ask enough," he 
 said ; "they can but drop you down a bit if they don't 
 like it." 
 
 After the lectures had been delivered in London, 
 Thackeray went with George Hodder (who acted 
 throughout as agent for Messrs. Cramer and Beale) to 
 Exeter, Plymouth, Clifton, Birmingham, and Oxford, 
 at which city he was very well received by the under- 
 graduate audience, and was so delighted at the enthu- 
 siasm of the young men that he exclaimed : "There's 
 an audience for you ! Gad, I'd lecture to those young 
 fellows for nothing " ; and he received many of them 
 in his private room, where he thanked them for the 
 sympathy and encouragement they had given him. 
 " Lewis Carroll " met him there at breakfast. " I was 
 much pleased with what I saw of him," wrote the 
 author of "Alice in Wonderland." "His manner is 
 simple and unaffected : he shows no anxiety to share 
 in conversation, though full of fun and anecdote when 
 drawn out. He seemed delighted with the reception
 
 isssl ACCUSED OF DISLOYALTY 13 
 
 he met with last night — the undergraduates seem to 
 have behaved with most unusual moderation."^ Norwich 
 was the last place in England where the lectures were 
 to be given, and here Thackeray was seized with one 
 of the violent attacks to which he was subject, which 
 delayed his journey northwards. Though Professor 
 Aytoun advised him to "Let the Georges alone, and 
 stick to the Jeameses,"- the lectures were well attended 
 — in Edinburgh by actually three per cent, of the whole 
 population: "Ah!" exclaimed the great man, " if I 
 could but get three per cent, of London." 
 
 In connection with these lectures on the Georges, 
 the charge of disloyalty was brought against the 
 author. While they were being delivered in America, 
 many English newspapers and people asserted that 
 he would never dare to read them in England, 
 and when, nothing daunted, he made arrange- 
 ments for their delivery, a certain class or school 
 of persons waxed exceeding wroth. Amongst these 
 the place of honour must most certainly be given 
 to a rector (whose father had been presented to a 
 valuable living by George IV) who was so enraged 
 that he wrote to a newspaper: "An elderly, infidel 
 buffoon of the name of Thackeray has been lecturing 
 in town on the subject of the Four Georges, etc., 
 etc." At Edinburgh, Thackeray, replying to a toast 
 at a public dinner given in his honour, made his 
 defence. 
 
 I had thought that in these lectures I had spoken 
 in terms, not of disrespect or unkindness, but in

 feelings and in language not un-English, of her 
 Majesty the Queen ; and whenever I have had to 
 mention her name, whether it was upon the banks of 
 the Clyde or upon those of the Mississippi, whether 
 it was in New England or in Old England, whether 
 it was in some great hall in London to the artisans of 
 the suburbs of the metropolis, or to the politer 
 audiences at the western end — whenever I had to 
 mention her name, it was received with shouts of 
 applause, and with the most hearty cheers. And 
 why was this? It was not on account of the 
 speaker ; it was on account of the truth, it was 
 because the English and the Americans — the people 
 of New Orleans a year ago, and people of Aber- 
 deen a week ago — all received and acknowledged 
 with due allegiance the great claims to honour which 
 that lady has, who worthily holds that great and 
 awful situation which our Queen occupies. It is my 
 loyalty that is called in question, and it is my loyalty 
 I am trying to plead to you. Suppose, for example, 
 in America — in Philadelphia or in New York — I had 
 spoken of George IV in terms of praise or affected 
 reverence, do you suppose they would have hailed 
 his name with cheers or have heard it with anything 
 like respect? They would have laughed in my face 
 if I had so spoken of him. They know what I know 
 and what you know, and what numbers of squeamish 
 loyalists who affect to cry out against my lectures 
 know, that that man's life was not a good life — that 
 that king was not such a king as we ought to love or 
 regard or honour. And I believe, for my part, that 
 in speaking the truth as we hold it of a bad sovereign, 
 we are paying no disrespect at all to a good one. 
 Far from it. On the contrary, we degrade our own 
 honour and the Sovereign's by unduly and unjustly 
 praising him : and the mere slaverer and flatterer 
 is one who comes forward, as it were, with flash 
 notes, and pays with false coin his tribute to C^sar. 
 I don't disguise from you that I feel somehow or 
 other on my trial here for loyalty, for honest English 
 feeling.
 
 1855] DEFENDS HIS LOYALTY 15 
 
 **To what is it the people are objecting?" Mrs. 
 Browning asked, after hearing the lecture on George 
 III, and indeed the question is not easy to answer. 
 How could it have been deemed even bad taste, much 
 less disloyalty, to discuss the failings of four sovereigns 
 who had been dead respectively for a hundred and 
 twenty-five, ninety-five, thirty-five, and twenty-five 
 years? Surely it is perfectly legitimate, without 
 violating any of the canons of decency, to criticise 
 the acts and life of a public character, however highly 
 placed, who has been dead for a quarter of a century. 
 Progress would indeed be slow if it were necessary to 
 wait more than a century and a quarter after the death 
 of a man before we might discuss his doings and argue 
 the question of his morality. Thackeray might have 
 spoken even in harsher terms of George IV, and he 
 must have been inclined to do so, for when he spoke of 
 the lectures to Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, he said he 
 sometimes wondered whether ''every soul of these 
 people he had to speak of was not damned in the end." 
 The lectures on the Georges delivered, Thackeray, 
 who for some time past had thought of standing for 
 Parliament, was invited to contest Oxford in the Liberal 
 interest in June 1857, when Professor Neate was un- 
 seated for what Thackeray called, "a twopennyworth 
 of bribery which he never committed." Though never 
 a keen politician, he held strong views on some subjects, 
 and expressed himself in favour of the ballot and 
 reform. He told Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff the chief 
 reason he wished to be in the House of Commons was 
 that he might stand up once a year and tell his country- 
 men what would happen ''when the French invade
 
 i6 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853- 
 
 us."^ But this was a propos of the fiery Colonels, and 
 must have been a passing desire.^ Thackeray dated 
 his Address to the electors from the Mitre, July 9, 
 1S57. 
 
 I should be unworthy of the great kindness and 
 cordiality with which you have received me to-night, 
 were I to hesitate to put your friendship to the test 
 and ask you to confirm it at the poll. . . . 
 
 I would use my best endeavours, not merely to 
 popularise the Government of this country. With no 
 feeling but that of goodwill towards those leading 
 aristocratic families who are administering the chief 
 offices of the State, I believe it could be benefitted 
 by the skill and talents of persons less aristocratic, 
 and that the country thinks so likewise. 
 
 I think that to secure the due freedom of representa- 
 tion, and to defend the poor voter from the chance of 
 intimidation, the ballot is the best safeguard we know 
 of, and would vote most hopefully for that measure. 
 I would have the suffrage amended in nature, as well 
 as in numbers, and hope to see many educated classes 
 represented who have now no voice in elections. . . . 
 
 The usefulness of a member of Parliament is best 
 tested at home ; and should you think fit to elect me 
 as your representative, I promise to use my utmost 
 endeavour to increase and advance the social happi- 
 ness, the knowledge, and the power of the people. 
 
 Edward Cardwell was the Tory candidate, and, as 
 was only to be expected from two such men, the contest 
 was conducted with much courtesy. When Lord Monck 
 came down to address the electors for the Peelite candi- 
 date, and met Thackeray, he said, " May the best man 
 win." "I hope not," said the other, smiling. Lord 
 Monck in his speeches spoke in high terms of Thack- 
 eray ; and the latter on the hustings chided his

 supporters for hissing when the name of his oppo- 
 nent was mentioned. A characteristic anecdote was 
 told by a friend of Thackeray's, who was staying with 
 him at the hotel. One day during the election he was 
 looking out of a window when he saw a crowd hustling 
 and hooting some of Mr. Cardwell's supporters. 
 Thackeray started up with an oath, and rushed down 
 the street, notwithstanding the efforts of some old 
 electioneerers who wished to hold him back. He was 
 next seen towering above the crowd, dealing about him 
 right and left, in defence of his opponent's partisans, 
 and in defiance of his own friends.^ 
 
 Thackeray fought hard but, probably owing to the 
 fact that he supported the Sunday opening of museums 
 — a measure for which the country was not then ready 
 — he was defeated by 1085 to 1018 votes. The result 
 was eminently satisfactory : Cardwell went to the House 
 of Commons, where he was the right man in the right 
 place ; and Thackeray returned to his desk. It is 
 extremely unlikely that Thackeray would have achieved 
 any remarkable success in the House of Commons. 
 His candid friend, Anthony Trollope, believed he 
 would have been a disastrous failure ; but that is an 
 extreme to which it is unnecessary to subscribe. It 
 must be admitted, however, that there was much against 
 him. His health was bad ; his habits irregular ; and, 
 though he would have done his duty, it would doubt- 
 less soon have become irksome to him. He was not a 
 man unhesitatingly to have obeyed the orders of his 
 party's whip ; he was the very last person in the world 
 
 ^ The speeches made by Thackeray during the progress of the elec- 
 tion are printed in the Appendix.

 to have believed his friends to be always right, and 
 his opponents always wrong ; and he would certainly 
 have voted against his party whenever he thought they 
 were in error. By his defeat the party whip was saved 
 much annoyance. Anyhow, whether as a politician he 
 had been good, bad, or indifferent, with regard to his 
 defeat, remembering that it left him free to pursue his 
 literary labours, we can only remark, as did Carlyle to 
 his wife after the lady who claimed to be the prototype 
 of Blanche Amory had paid a visit to Cheyne Walk 
 and left, "Oh! my dear, we cannot be sufficiently 
 grateful ! " 
 
 Come down and make a speech, and tell them who 
 I am [Thackeray wrote to Dickens from Oxford], for 
 I doubt whether more than two of the electors have 
 ever heard of me, and I think there may be as many 
 as six or eight who have heard of you. 
 
 This was probably the last friendly letter exchanged 
 between the two novelists, for in the following year 
 they quarrelled. The cause of the quarrel was Edmund 
 Yates, who in 1858 printed in his paper Toimi Talk a 
 character-sketch of Thackeray: — 
 
 Mr. Thackeray is forty-six years old, though from 
 the silvery whiteness of his hair he appears some- 
 what older. He is very tall, standing upwards of 
 six feet two inches ; and as he walks erect, his height 
 makes him conspicuous in every assembly. His face 
 is bloodless, and not particularly expressive, but 
 remarkable for the fracture of the bridge of the nose, 
 the result of an accident in youth. He wears a small 
 grey whisker, but otherwise is clean shaven. No one 
 meeting him could fail to recognise in him a gentle- 
 man : his bearing is cold and uninviting, his style 
 of conversation either openly cynical or affectedly
 
 i8ss] "TOWN TALK" 19 
 
 good-natured and benevolent ; his honhommie is 
 forced, his wit biting, his pride easily touched — but 
 his appearance is invariably that of the cool, suave, 
 well-bred gentleman, who, whatever may be rankling 
 within, suffers no surface display of his emotion. 
 . . . His success, commencing with "Vanity Fair," 
 culminated with his " Lectures on the English 
 Humourists of the Eighteenth Century," which were 
 attended by all the court and fashion of London. 
 The prices were extravagant, the Lecturer's adula- 
 tion of birth and position was extravagant, the 
 success was extravagant. No one succeeds better 
 than Mr. Thackeray in cutting his coat according to 
 his cloth : here he flattered the aristocracy, but when 
 he crossed the Atlantic, George Washington became 
 the idol of his worship, the "Four Georges" the 
 objects of his bitterest attacks. These last-named 
 Lectures have been dead failures in England, though 
 as literary compositions they are most excellent. 
 Our own opinion is, that his success is on the wane ; 
 his writings never were understood or appreciated 
 even by the middle classes ; the aristocracy have 
 been alienated by his American onslaught on their 
 body, and the educated and refined are not suffi- 
 ciently numerous to constitute an audience ; more- 
 over, there is a want of heart in all he writes, which 
 is not to be balanced by the most brilliant sarcasm 
 and the most perfect knowledge of the workings of 
 the human heart. 
 
 The article was certainly in bad taste, and some of 
 it mighty offensive. Thackeray, who hated "per- 
 sonal " journalism at all times, saw in this particular 
 instance a gratuitous insult from a young fellow-club- 
 man to whom he had held out a friendly hand, and he 
 did not hesitate to express his indignation. 
 
 I have received two numbers of a little paper 
 called "Town Talk," containing notices respecting
 
 20 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853- 
 
 myself, of which, as I learn from the best authority, 
 you are the writer [he wrote to Yates on June 14]. 
 In the first article of " Literary Talk " you think fit 
 to publish an incorrect account of my private 
 dealings with my publishers. In this week's num- 
 ber appears a so-called "Sketch" containing a 
 description of my manners, person, and conversa- 
 tion, and an account of my literary works, which of 
 course you are at liberty to praise or condemn as 
 a literary critic. But you state, with regard to my 
 conversation, that it is either "frankly cynical or 
 affectedly benevolent and good-natured " ; and of 
 my works, that in some I showed "an extra- 
 vagant adulation of rank and position," which in 
 other lectures ("as I know how to cut my coat 
 according to my cloth ") became the object of my 
 bitterest attack. As I understand your phrases, you 
 impute insincerity to me when I speak good- 
 naturedly in private ; assign dishonourable motives 
 to me for sentiments which I have delivered in 
 public, and charge me with advancing statements 
 which I have never delivered at all. 
 
 Had your remarks been written by a person un- 
 known to me, I should have noticed them no more 
 than other calumnies ; but as we have shaken hands 
 more than once, and met hitherto on friendly terms 
 
 (you may ask one of your employers, Mr. , 
 
 of , whether I did not speak of you lately in the 
 
 most friendly manner), I am obliged to take notice 
 of articles which I consider to be not offensive and 
 unfriendly merely, but slanderous and untrue. 
 
 We meet at a Club, where, before you were born, 
 I believe, I and other gentlemen have been in the 
 habit of talking without any idea that our conversa- 
 tion would supply paragraphs for professional 
 vendors of " Literary Talk" ; and I don't remember 
 that out of that Club I have ever exchanged six 
 words with you. Allow me to inform you that the 
 talk which you have heard there is not intended for 
 newspaper remark ; and to beg — as I have a right to 
 do — that you will refrain from printing comments
 
 i8ss] EDMUND YATES 21 
 
 upon my private conversations ; that you will forego 
 discussions, however blundering, upon my private 
 afifairs ; and that you will henceforth please to con- 
 sider any question of my personal truth and 
 sincerity as quite out of the province of your 
 criticism.^ 
 
 The castigation was severe ; but it was in some 
 measure deserved. Yates, however, was no coward, 
 and he immediately wrote an apologetic reply, in 
 which, however, while urging that he had not meant 
 all that Thackeray had read in his article, he reminded 
 him of similar misdemeanours committed against 
 fellow-clubmen in his youth — against Dr. Lardner and 
 Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton in the " Yellowplush 
 Papers " ; against Stephen Price, Wyndham Smith, 
 and Captain Granby Calcroft, in the "Book of 
 Snobs " ; and, above all, in later days, against Andrew 
 Arcedeckne in "Pendennis." Had this letter been sent, 
 the matter would probably have dropped, and the men, 
 in course of time, might have come together again. 
 Unfortunately Yates showed his letter to Dickens, 
 who considered it too flippant, and drafted another, 
 which was neither dignified nor wise to be sent by a 
 man who was an offender. 
 
 Yates's reply, as amended by Dickens, infuriated 
 Thackeray, who sent the correspondence to the Com- 
 mittee of the Garrick Club, and appealed to them 
 
 to decide whether the complaints I have against 
 Mr. Yates are not well founded, and whether the 
 practice of publishing such articles as that which 
 I enclose will not be fatal to the comfort of the Club, 
 and is not intolerable in a society of gentlemen.

 22 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853- 
 
 Here, it must be admitted, Thackeray put himself 
 in the wrong, for, despite the provocation he had 
 received, it was an extreme and perhaps unjustifiable 
 step, as, indeed, Thackeray subsequently saw, for 
 years later he told Hamstede, the honorary secretary of 
 ''Our Club," that "he had already driven one man 
 out of a club for a personal reason, and was not so 
 satisfied with the consequences of the affair as to be 
 in a humour to repeat the operation."^ 
 
 Yates protested that the Committee was incompetent 
 to enter into the matter since there was no mention of 
 the Club in the article, but the objection was over- 
 ruled, and the offender was called upon to apologise to 
 Thackeray or resign his membership. Yates, after 
 consulting Dickens, John Forster, W. H. Wills, and 
 Albert Smith, determined to appeal to a General 
 Meeting. This was summoned for July 10, and, while 
 neither Thackeray nor Yates was present, the latter 
 sent a letter to be read, in which he expressed his 
 willingness to express regret ''for any unpleasant 
 feeling that I may have awakened in the Club by the 
 publication of the unfortunate article " ; but he added 
 that he considered Thackeray had placed it out of his 
 power to apologise to him. In spite of the efforts of 
 Dickens and Wilkie Collins, backed by Robert Bell, 
 Samuel Lover, Palgrave Simpson, Sir James Fer- 
 guson, and others, the resolution to support the Com- 
 mittee was carried by seventy against forty-six. Yates 
 was allowed until July 20 to apologise, and then, no 
 communication being received from him, the Secretary 
 of the Club wrote to inform him that the Committee

 had erased his name from the list of members. There 
 the matter rested for some months, when Dickens 
 reopened it by offering his services as a mediator. 
 The correspondence explains itself.

 Tavistock Square, 
 London, W.C, 
 Wednesday, 2^ih November, 1858. 
 
 My dear Thackeray, 
 
 Without a word of prelude, I wish this note 
 to revert to a subject on which I said six words to 
 you at the Atheuceum when I last saw you. 
 
 Coming home from my country work, I find 
 Mr. Edwin James's opinion taken on this painful 
 question of the Garrick and Mr. Edmund Yates. 
 I find it strong on the illegality of the Garrick pro- 
 ceeding. Not to complicate this note or give it a 
 formal appearance, I forbear from copying the 
 opinion ; but I have asked to see it, and I have it, 
 and I want to make no secret from you of a word 
 of it. 
 
 I find Mr. Edwin James retained on the one 
 side ; I hear and read of the Attorney-General being 
 retained on the other. Let me, in this state of 
 things, ask you a plain question. 
 
 Can any conference be held between me, as 
 representing Mr. Yates, and an appointed friend of 
 yours, as representing you, with the hope and pur- 
 pose of some quiet accommodation of this deplorable 
 matter, which will satisfy the feelings of all con- 
 cerned ? 
 
 It is right that, in putting this to you, I should 
 tell you that Mr. Yates, when you first wrote to him, 
 brought your letter to me. He had recently done 
 me a manly service I can never forget, in some 
 private distress of mine (generally within your 
 knowledge), and he naturally thought of me as his 
 friend in an emergency. I told him that his article
 
 24 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [i8S3- 
 
 was not to be defended ; but I confirmed him in his 
 opinion that it was not reasonably possible for him 
 to set right what was amiss, on the receipt of a 
 letter couched in the very strong terms you had 
 employed. When you appealed to the Garrick Com- 
 mittee and they called their General Meeting, I said 
 at that meeting that you and I had been on good 
 terms for many years, and that I was very sorry to 
 find myself opposed to you ; but that I was clear 
 that the Committee had nothing on earth to do with 
 it, and that in the strength of my conviction I should 
 go against them. 
 
 If this mediation that I have suggested can take 
 place, I shall be heartily glad to do my best in it — 
 and God knows in no hostile spirit towards any one, 
 least of all to you. If it cannot take place, the 
 thing is at least no worse than it was ; and you will 
 burn this letter, and I will burn your answer. 
 
 Yours faithfully, 
 
 Charles Dickens.

 Dear Dickens, 
 
 I grieve to gather from your letter that you 
 were Mr. Yates's adviser in the dispute between me 
 and him. His letter was the cause of my appeal to 
 the Garrick Club for protection from insults against 
 which I had no other remedy. 
 
 I placed my grievance before the Committee of 
 the Club as the only place where I have been accus- 
 tomed to meet Mr. Yates. They gave their opinion 
 of his conduct and of the reparation which lay in his 
 power. Not satisfied with their sentence, Mr. Yates 
 called for a General Meeting ; and, the meeting which 
 he had called having declared against him, he declines 
 the jurisdiction which he had asked for, and says he 
 will have recourse to lawyers.

 i855] DICKENS V. THACKERAY 25 
 
 You say that Mr. Edwin James is strongly of 
 opinion that the conduct of the Club is illegal. On 
 this point I can give no sort of judgment : nor can I 
 conceive that the club will be frightened, by the 
 opinion of any lawyer, out of their own sense of the 
 justice and honour which ought to obtain among 
 gentlemen. 
 
 Ever since I submitted my case to the Club, I 
 have had, and can have, no part in the dispute. It 
 is for them to judge if any reconcilement is possible 
 with your friend. I subjoin the copy of a letter which 
 I wrote to the Committee, and refer you to them for 
 the issue. Yours, &c., 
 
 W. M. Thackeray.

 I have this day received a communication 
 from Mr. Charles Dickens, relative to the dispute 
 which has been so long pending, in which he says: — 
 
 "Can any conference be held between me as 
 representing Mr. Yates, and any appointed friend of 
 yours, as representing you, in the hope and purpose 
 of some quiet accommodation of this deplorable 
 matter, which will satisfy the feelings of all parties?" 
 
 I have written to Mr. Dickens to say, that since 
 the commencement of this business, I have placed 
 myself entirely in the hands of the Committee of the 
 Garrick, and am still as ever prepared to abide by 
 any decision at which they may arrive on the subject. 
 I conceive I cannot, if I would, make the dispute 
 once more personal, or remove it out of the court to 
 which I submitted it for arbitration. 
 
 If you can devise any peaceful means for ending 
 it, no one will be better pleased than 
 
 Your obliged faithful servant,

 26 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1853- 
 
 The feud between Thackeray and Yates did not end 
 here. Thackeray, it was said, made veiled allusions to 
 the novelist in "The Virginians," and the other fed 
 the flame by sarcastic reference to his opponent in the 
 Illustrated Times. When the Cornhill Magazine was 
 established, however, Yates made an overture of peace 
 by sending a poem as a contribution ; but this was 
 merely answered by a curt note from a clerk stating he 
 was "desired by Mr. Thackeray to return the enclosed." 
 For this slight Yates revenged himself by a spiteful 
 article in the New York Times, which disgusted Dickens, 
 and drew from Thackeray a reply in "On Screens in 
 Dining Rooms." 
 
 It was always the impression of Yates, who it is but 
 fair to mention, on hearing of Thackeray's death, wrote 
 a charming obituary notice of his foe, that after the 
 first Thackeray was more angry with Dickens than 
 with him, and that the affair, much to his detriment, 
 was made a trial of strength between the novelists. 
 Jeaffreson supports this opinion by declaring that 
 Thackeray said to him, "You must not think, young 
 'un, that I am quarrelling with Mr. Yates. I am hitting 
 the man behind him. ^''^ This unfortunate quarrel has 
 led to much speculation as to whether any real friend- 
 ship existed between the rivals — for as rivals they will 
 be considered to the end of the chapter. If Thackeray 
 envied Dickens his early success and greater popu- 
 larity, as he may well have done, at least he gave no 
 sign of it : indeed, he never missed an opportunity to 
 pay graceful tribute to the other's books, and many 
 appreciations of the author of "Pickwick" may be

 culled alike from his writings, his lectures, and his 
 correspondence. 
 
 Get " David Copperfield," by Jingo, it's beautiful ; 
 it beats the yellow chap (" Pendennis ") of this 
 month hollow ; ^ 
 
 he wrote to the Brookfields ; and of the same book he 
 
 said in Punch : 
 
 How beautiful it is, how charmingly fresh and 
 simple ! In those admirable touches of tender humour 
 — and I shall call humour. Bob, a mixture of love 
 and wit — who can equal this great genius? There 
 are little words and phrases in his book which are like 
 personal benefits to the reader.^ 
 
 Of " A Christmas Carol " he wrote : ** It seems to me 
 a national benefit, and to every man or woman who 
 reads it a personal kindness " ; and he referred to 
 ''The Battle of Life" and the other Christmas stories 
 as ''these charming little books of Mr. Dickens's which 
 are chorales for Christmas executed in prose." In the 
 lecture on " Charity and Humour," which he delivered 
 in England in 1855, he introduced the following story 
 against himself. 
 
 All children ought to love Dickens ; I know 
 two that do, and read his books ten times for 
 once they peruse the dismal preachments of their 
 father. I know one who, when she is happy, 
 reads "Nicholas Nickleby " ; when she is un- 
 happy, reads "Nicholas Nickleby"; when she is 
 tired, reads "Nicholas Nickleby"; when she is 
 in bed, reads "Nicholas Nickleby" ; when she has 
 nothing to do, reads "Nicholas Nickleby"; and 
 when she has finished the book, reads " Nicholas

 Nickleby" again. This candid young critic, at ten 
 years of age, said, " I like Mr. Dickens's books 
 better than your books, papa," and frequently ex- 
 pressed her desire that the latter author should write 
 a book like one of Mr. Dickens's books. Who can? 
 
 But Thackeray, though keenly appreciative of the 
 other, was too clear-sighted a critic unduly to depreciate 
 his own writing, or overrate Dickens'. Indeed, he was 
 constrained to admit that Dickens was not a deep 
 thinker, though he had "a clear and bright-eyed intel- 
 ligence, which is better than philosophy : I think he 
 is equal to Fielding and Smollett — at any rate to Smol- 
 lett : he is not such a scholar as Fielding was." This, 
 then, was the greatest difference between them, that 
 other things being equal, Thackeray's literary culture 
 was far wider. He was thereby enabled thoroughly to 
 appreciate the many beauties of Dickens's works. 
 Dickens, unfortunately, was not a discerning critic of 
 writings other than those of his own kind, and he read 
 little and thought less of the books of the master stylist 
 of his day. '' He knows that my books are a protest 
 against his — that if the one set are true, the other must 
 be false," so said Thackeray ; and it may confidently be 
 assumed that he had not much doubt as to which set 
 were right.
 
 CHAPTER XX 
 
 THE CORNHILL MAGAZINE (1860-1863) 
 
 Thackeray undertakes to write another novel — various plans for it — 
 " The Virginians " — his desire to found a magazine — the early shilling 
 magazines — accepts an offer to contribute novels to the Cornhill 
 Magazine — and later is invited to edit it — goes abroad — his circular 
 letter to likely contributors — asks Longfellow to write for it — "the 
 regular cabs " — contributors to the Cornhill Magazine under Thack- 
 eray's editorship — success of the venture — "On Some Late Great 
 Victories" — Thackeray as editor — " Lovel the Widower" and 
 " Framley Parsonage " — he resigns the editorship — refuses Mrs. 
 Browning's " Lord Walter's Wife " — "Thorns in the Cushion" — his 
 kindness — his earnings in his last years — his contributions to the 
 Cornhill Magazine. 
 
 jAFTER returning from the second visit to America, 
 
 /j^ Thackeray undertook to write another novel 
 
 / %^ to be published in numbers by Messrs. 
 
 Bradbury and Evans ; but when he entered 
 
 into this engagement he had not made up his mind 
 
 what it would be. He began a story, was dissatisfied 
 
 with it, and burnt what he had written. " I can't jump 
 
 further than I did in 'The Newcomes,' but I want to 
 
 jump as far," he told Whitwell Elwin ; adding that 
 
 the manuscript he had destroyed ran in ''the old track," 
 
 and lamenting that he had exhausted all the types of 
 
 character with which he was familiar. He thought of 
 
 a story in the days of Dr. Johnson, but abandoned the 
 
 scheme ; and then for a moment reverted to his hint in 
 
 29

 **The Newcomes " that one day he would relate the 
 history of " J. J." '' I intended to show J. J. married, 
 and to exhibit him with the trials of a wife and children. 
 I meant to make him in love with another man's wife, 
 and recover him through his attachment for the little 
 ones."^ Eventually he turned to the idea that he had 
 mentioned in America to John Esten Cooke. " I shall 
 lay the scene of the novel in Virginia. There will be 
 two brothers who will be prominent characters ; one 
 will take the English side in the war, the other the 
 American, and they will both be in love with the same 
 girl. ... I shall give it the title of * The Two Vir- 
 ginians.' " The first number of ^'The Virginians" 
 was issued in November 1857, ^"^ ^he novel appeared 
 month by month until October 1859. 
 
 It had long been Thackeray's ambition to establish 
 a magazine, as Ainsworth had done, and Douglas 
 Jerrold and Cruikshank, Hood and Dickens. The 
 failure of the periodicals with which he had in earlier 
 days been connected had in no wise damped his ardour. 
 Two years after the failure of the Constitutional he had 
 asked Jerdan if the Literary Gazette was for sale, and 
 about the time "Esmond" was published he had 
 suggested to George Smith a small daily print after 
 the style of the Tatter^ to be called Fair Play. He 
 was now in i860 to satisfy his ambition in this direction. 
 
 In those days the price of periodical literature was 
 high, and the only shilling monthlies had been Douglas 
 Jerrold's Shilling Magazine ^ long since defunct, the 
 series of booklets, edited by Edmund Yates, called

 the Train, and its rival, the Idler, the principal sup- 
 porter of which was James Hannay. The publishing 
 house of Messrs. Smith, Elder and Co. thought the time 
 ripe to found a high-class shilling magazine, and began 
 to make preparations accordingly. George Smith 
 deemed it highly desirable to secure for the first 
 numbers a novel by Thackeray, and he offered to pay 
 at the rate of ^^^350 per monthly instalment for the 
 serial, American, and colonial rights and the edition in 
 volume form at the original price : the profits on 
 cheaper editions to be divided. The offer was accepted, 
 and the founder of the periodical then set out to find 
 an editor. He had made up his mind that Thomas 
 Hughes, the author of "Tom Brown's Schooldays," 
 was the man ; but when he approached Hughes he 
 learnt that the latter had undertaken to contribute to 
 the forthcoming shilling Macmillmi's Magazine, and 
 was unable to accept any offer for a similar production. 
 After further consideration Smith offered Thackeray 
 the editorship at a salary of £\qqo a year, and the offer 
 was accepted. 
 
 Thackeray, however, was busy with "The Vir- 
 ginians," and it was decided not to bring out the new 
 magazine until January i860. The novel was finished 
 on the previous September 7 at Folkestone — " I am 
 surprised I have finished 'The Virginians' so well — 
 and what a load off my mind ! " he announced the fact 
 from Folkestone to George Smith. Thackeray then 
 went abroad with his daughters, passing a week in 
 September 
 
 in the little old town of Coire or Chur, in the 
 Grisons, where lies buried that very ancient British

 king, saint, and martyr, Lucius, who founded the 
 Church of St. Peter, which stands opposite the 
 house No. 65, Cornhill.^ 
 
 He called on St. Lucius to help him to find a title, 
 and his prayer was effective, for a few days later he 
 wrote to suggest the Cornhill Magazine : **it has," he 
 said, *'a sound of jollity and abundance about it."^ 
 The suggestion could not be improved upon, and this 
 title was used for the magazine. 
 
 Our Store-House being in Cornhill, we date and 
 name our Magazine from its place of publication 
 [he wrote in a circular letter sent to George Henry 
 Lewes and other likely contributors]. We might 
 have assumed a title more startling : for example, 
 ^'The Thames on Fire" was a name suggested; 
 and, placarded in red letters about the City and 
 Country, it would no doubt have excited some 
 curiosity. But, on going to London Bridge, the 
 expectant rustic would have found the stream rolling 
 on its accustomed course and would have turned 
 away angry at being hoaxed. Sensible people are 
 not to be misled by fine prospectuses and sounding 
 names ; the present writer has been for five-and- 
 twenty years before the world, which has taken his 
 measure pretty accurately. We are too long ac- 
 quainted to try and deceive one another ; and, were 
 I to propose any such astounding feat as that above 
 announced, I know quite well how the schemer 
 would be received, and the scheme would end. 
 
 You, then, who ask what the Cornhill Magazine is 
 to be, and what sort of articles you shall supply for 
 it ; if you were told that the Editor, known hitherto

 only by his published writings, was in reality a great 
 reformer, philosopher, and wiseacre, about to ex- 
 pound prodigious doctrines and truths until now 
 unrevealed, to guide and direct the peoples, to pull 
 down the existing order of things, to edify new social 
 or political structures, and, in a word, to set the 
 Thames on Fire ; if you heard such designs as- 
 cribed to him — risuni teneatis? You know I have 
 no such pretensions : but, as an Author who has 
 written long, and had the good fortune to find a 
 very great number of readers, I think I am not 
 mistaken in supposing they give me credit for ex- 
 perience, observation, and for having lived with 
 educated people in many countries, and seen the 
 world in no small variety ; and, having heard me 
 soliloquise, with so much kindness and favour, and 
 say my own say about life and men and women, 
 they will not be unwilling to try me as Conductor of 
 a Concert, in which I trust many skilful performers 
 will take part. 
 
 We hope for a large number of readers, and must 
 seek, in the first place, to amuse and interest them. 
 Fortunately for some folks, novels are as daily bread 
 to others ; and fiction of course must form a part, 
 but only a part of our entertainment. We want, on 
 the other hand, as much reality as possible — discus- 
 sion, and narrative of events interesting to the 
 public, personal adventure and observation, familiar 
 reports of scientific discovery, description of Social 
 Institutions — quicquid agimt homines — a Great 
 Eastern, a battle in China, a Racecourse, a popular 
 Preacher — there is hardly any subject we don't want 
 to hear about, from lettered and instructed men who 
 are competent to speak on it. 
 
 I read the other day in the Illustrated London 
 News (in my own room at home), that I was at that 
 moment at Bordeaux, purchasing first-class claret for 
 first-class contributors, and second-class for those of 
 inferior cru. Let me continue this hospitable simile ; 
 and say that at our contributors' table, I do not ask 
 or desire to shine especially myself, but to take my

 part occasionally, and to invite pleasant and in- 
 structed gentlemen and ladies to contribute their 
 share to the conversation. It may be a Foxhunter 
 who has the turn to speak ; or a Geologist, Engineer, 
 Manufacturer, Member of the House of Commons, 
 Lawyer, Chemist — what you please. If we can only 
 get people to tell what they know, pretty briefly and 
 good-humouredly, and not in a manner obtrusively 
 didactic — what a pleasant ordinary we may have, 
 and how gladly folks will come to it ! If our friends 
 have good manners, a good education, and write in 
 good English, the company, I am sure, will be all 
 the better pleased ; and the guests, whatever their 
 rank, age, sex be, will be glad to be addressed by 
 well-educated gentlemen and women. A professor 
 ever so learned, a curate in his country retirement, 
 an artisan after work-hours, a schoolmaster or 
 mistress when the children are gone home, or the 
 young ones themselves when their lessons are over, 
 may like to hear what the world is talking about, or 
 be brought into friendly communication with persons 
 whom the world knows. There are points upon 
 which agreement is impossible, and on these we 
 need not touch. At our social table, we shall sup- 
 pose the ladies and children always present ; we 
 shall not set rival politicians by the ears ; we shall 
 listen to every guest who has an apt word to say ; 
 and, I hope, induce clergymen of various denomina- 
 tions to say grace in their turn. The kindly fruits 
 of the earth, which grow for all — may we not enjoy 
 them with friendly hearts? The field is immensely 
 wide ; the harvest perennial, and rising everywhere ; 
 we can promise competent fellow labourers a wel- 
 come and a good wage ; and hope a fair custom 
 from the public for our stores at the Cornhill 
 Magazine.^ 
 
 Having settled the title of the magazine and the 
 style of the contributions, Thackeray cast around for

 contributors, throwing his net so far as America, and 
 begging Longfellow to rally round his standard. 
 
 Has Hiawatha ever a spare shaft in his quiver, 
 which he can shoot across the Atlantic? How 
 proud I should be if I could have a contribution or

 I should like still better to be driving to Cam- 
 bridge in the snow, and expecting a supper there. 
 Two or three months ago I actually thought such 
 a scheme was about to come off. I intended to shut 
 up my desk for a year — not write a line — and go on 
 my travels. But the gods willed otherwise. I am 
 pressed into the service of this Magazine, and en- 
 gaged to write ever so much more for the next three 
 years. Then, if I last so long, I shall be free of 
 books and publishers ; and hope to see friends to 
 whose acquaintance I look back with — I can't tell 
 you how much gratitude and kind feeling.^ 
 
 The Cornhill Magazine^ like the Pall Mall Gazette 
 in " Pendennis," was to be written by scholars and 
 gentlemen. New blood was eagerly sought by the 
 editor and the proprietor, but with very little success ; 
 and at the inaugural dinner given to the contributors 
 by George Smith at his house in Gloucester Place, 
 Hyde Park, the familiar faces were everywhere to be 
 observed. "I see," said Thackeray, ''there are only 
 a certain number of regular cabs upon the stand, and 
 whether they are bad or good, rickety or otherwise, we 
 must make the best of them." Anthony Trollope,

 Sykes, who designed the cover, Millais and Leighton 
 for artists, formed the original staff; while among 
 occasional contributors during Thackeray's editorship 
 were Tennyson, Thomas Hood, Monckton Milnes, 
 Charles Lever, W. H. Russell, Herman Merivale, 
 Mrs. Gaskell, Mrs. Browning, Locker-Lampson, Dean 
 Hole, Lord Lytton, Adelaide Procter, Matthew 
 Arnold, Ruskin, Fitzjames Stephen, George Mac- 
 donald, and Miss Thackeray (now Lady Ritchie). 
 
 From the start a hearty welcome was accorded by the 
 public to the Cornhill Magazine. Of the first number 
 1 10,000 copies were sold, of the second over 100,000 ; 
 and some months later, when the circulation had 
 reached its normal level, 80,000 to 85,000 were required 
 to supply the demand. Immediately after the issue of 
 No. I, Thackeray went to Paris — as it happened, for the 
 last time. He had been overwhelmed with manu- 
 scripts, not only at the office — which was all very well 
 — but actually at "the editor's private residence to 
 which, in spite of prayers, entreaties, commands, and 
 threats, authors, and ladies especially,"^ would send 
 their communications. Even against this he held up 
 manfully ; but when the intending contributors began 
 to call on him in Onslow Square, then, he said, he 
 packed a portmanteau and ran away. ''The darlings 
 demanded that I should rewrite, if I could not under- 
 stand their nonsense, and put their halting lines into 
 proper form. I was so appalled when they set upon 
 me with their ' ipics ' and their ' ipicacas ' that you 
 might have knocked me down with a feather, sir. It 
 was insupportable, and I fled away to France."

 1863] SUCCESS OF THE MAGAZINE 37 
 
 This he told Fields, the American publisher, who 
 has further confided to the public how, when he called 
 on Thackeray at his hotel in the Rue de la Paix, he 
 found him almost delirious with joy at the news from 
 London of the immense sale of the magazine and full of 
 enthusiasm for George Smith. '' London is not big 
 enough to contain me now, and I am obliged to add 
 Paris to my residence ! Great Heavens " (said he, 
 throwing up his long arms) "where will this tremen- 
 dous circulation stop? Who knows but that I shall 
 have to add Vienna and Rome to my whereabouts? If 
 the worst comes to the worst, New York also may fall 
 into my clutches, and only the Rocky Mountains may 
 be able to stop my progress." 
 
 " Those days in Paris were simply tremendous," says 
 Fields. " We dined at all possible and impossible 
 places together. We walked round and round the 
 glittering courts of the Palais Royal . . . and all my 
 efforts were necessary to restrain him from rushing in 
 and ordering a pocketful of diamonds and 'other trifles ' 
 as Thackeray called them; 'for,' said he, 'how can I 
 spend the princely income which Smith allows me for 
 editing the Cornhill unless I begin instantly some- 
 where?' If he saw a group of three or four persons 
 talking together in an excited way ... he would 
 whisper to me with immense gesticulation, ' There, 
 there, you see, the news has reached Paris, and per- 
 haps the number has gone up since my last accounts 
 from London.' His spirits during these few days were 
 colossal, and he told me he found it impossible to sleep 
 for counting subscribers." 
 
 Thackeray in mock-heroic strains expressed his de-
 
 38 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1860- 
 
 light at the success of the magazine in a " Roundabout 
 Paper" that appeared in it, "On Some Late Great 
 Victories " : 
 
 The Victories which I wish especially to com- 
 memorate in this paper are the six great, complete, 
 prodigious, and undeniable, victories, achieved by 
 the corps which the editor of the Conihill Magazine 
 has the honour to command. . . . Up the Hill of 
 Ludgate, around the Pauline Square, by the side 
 of Chepe, until it reaches our own hill of Corn, the 
 procession passes. The Imperator is bowing to 
 the people. ... I fancy the Imperator standing on 
 the steps of the Temple (erected by Titus) on the 
 Mons Frumentarius, and addressing the citizens. 
 " Quirites ! " he says, "in our campaign of six 
 months we have been engaged six times, and in 
 each action we have taken near upon a hundred 
 thousand priso7iers. Go to ! What are other maga- 
 zines compared to our magazine? (Sound trumpets.) 
 What banner is there like that of Cornhill? You 
 philosopher yonder !" (He shakes under his mantle.) 
 " Do you know what it is to have a hundred and ten 
 thousand readers? a hundred thousand readers? a 
 hundred thousand buyers?'^ (Cries of "No!" 
 "Pooh!" " Yes, upon my honour ! " " O come ! " 
 and murmurs of applause and derision.) " I say 
 more than a hundred thousand purchasers — and I 
 believe as much as a million readers?'''' (Immense 
 sensation.) "To these have we said an unkind 
 word? We have enemies; have we hit them an 
 unkind blow? Have we sought to pursue party 
 aims, to forward private jobs, to advance selfish 
 schemes? The only persons to whom, wittingly, 
 we have given pain are some who have volunteered 
 for our corps — and of these volunteers we have had 
 thousands.''' (Murmurs and grumbles.) "What com- 
 mander, citizens, could place all these men — could 
 make officers of all these men ? " (cries of " No, no ! " 
 and laughter), "could say, 'I accept this recruit, 
 though he is too short for our standard, because
 
 i863] THACKERAY AS EDITOR 39 
 
 he is poor, and has a mother at home who wants 
 bread?' could enrol this other, who is too weakly 
 to bear arms, because he says, ' Look, sir, I shall 
 be stronger anon'? The leader of such an army 
 as ours must select his men, not because they are 
 good and virtuous, but because they are strong and 
 capable. To these our ranks are ever open ; and 
 in addition to the warriors who surround me" — (the 
 generals look proudly conscious) — "I tell you, 
 citizens, I am in treaty with other great and most 
 tremendous champions, who will march by the side 
 of our veterans to the achievement of fresh victories. 
 Now, blow trumpets ! Bang, ye gongs ! and drum- 
 mers, drub the thundering skins ! Generals and 
 chiefs, we go to sacrifice to the gods." 
 
 The question with which a biographer of Thackeray 
 is concerned in the matter of the Cornhill Magazine^ 
 is how far the editor was responsible for the success 
 of the venture. George Smith has avowed that the 
 reason he did not think of offering the editorship in 
 the first place to Thackeray was because he did not 
 "attribute to him the business qualities which go to 
 make a good editor," and Anthony Trollope went so 
 far as to say that "a man so susceptible, so prone to 
 work by fits and starts, so unmethodical, could not 
 have been a good editor." That Thackeray was not a 
 man of business there can be no doubt, and that 
 George Smith had himself largely to thank for the 
 success of the Cornhill Magazine cannot be questioned; 
 but as the tree is judged by its fruit, so must the editor 
 be judged by his periodical, and perhaps there has 
 never been any monthly more brilliant than the Cornhill 
 Magazine when Thackeray was sitting in the editorial 
 chair. It is easy to admit he was unmethodical as an
 
 40 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1860- 
 
 editor, since his want of method as a writer is an open 
 secret ; but then much admirable work is sometimes 
 done by the unmethodical. 
 
 Thackeray, however, was not quite so unmethodical 
 as Trollope thought. That latter most delightful story- 
 teller once stated that the editor had intended in the 
 first number of the magazine to print one of his 
 great novels, but that he put off writing it until too 
 late, and that at the eleventh hour he, Trollope, was 
 asked to write a story. " ' Lovel the Widower' was 
 commenced at the same time as 'Framley Parsonage,' " 
 he continued, " but ' Lovel the Widower' was not sub- 
 stantial enough to appear as the principal joint at the 
 banquet." ^ This was an amiable delusion on Trollope's 
 part. He had written to Thackeray offering to con- 
 tribute some short stories, and to his surprise received 
 in reply an invitation to contribute a novel to begin in 
 the first number. 
 
 Smith and Elder have sent you their proposals ; 
 and the business part done, let me come to the 
 pleasure, and say how very glad indeed I shall be 
 to have you as a co-operator in our new magazine 
 [Thackeray wrote to him on October 28, 1859]. And 
 looking over the annexed programme, you will see 
 whether you can't help us in many ways besides 
 tale-telling. Whatever a man knows about life and 
 its doings, that let us hear about. You must have 
 tossed a good deal about the world, and have count- 
 less sketches in your memory and your portfolio. 
 Please to think if you can furbish up any of these 
 besides a novel. When events occur, and you have 
 a good lively tale, bear this in mind. One of our 
 chief objects in this magazine is the getting out of 
 novel spinning, and back into the world. Don't

 understand me to disparage our craft, especially your 
 wares. I often say I am like the pastrycook, and 
 don't care for tarts, but prefer bread and cheese ; but 
 the public love the tarts (luckily for us), and we 
 must bake and sell them. There was quite an excite- 
 ment in my family one evening when Paterfamilias 
 (who goes to sleep on a novel almost always when 
 he tries it after dinner) came downstairs into the 
 drawing-room wide awake and calling for the second 
 volume of ''The Three Clerks." I hope the Corn- 
 hill Magazine will have as pleasant a story.^ 
 
 Thackeray, however, had made no default, for 
 " Lovel the Widower" was the story he had intended 
 to contribute, and the invitation to Trollope arose from 
 the proprietor's belief that a second serial would 
 strengthen the magazine. " Framley Parsonage " was 
 given the place of honour in the new periodical, indeed, 
 and it was this that led Trollope to a mistaken conclu- 
 sion ; but that was by Thackeray's own arrangement 
 on grounds of courtesy. " He would not claim the 
 first place in his own magazine," George Smith has 
 explained. "He looked upon himself as a host, and 
 upon Trollope as his guest. "- 
 
 Though Thackeray contributed to the Cornhill Maga- 
 zine until his death, he retired from the editorship in 
 April 1862, when, in its pages, he bade farewell to his 
 contributors : —

 that the editor of the Cornhill Magazine no longer 
 lives in mine. 
 
 My esteemed successor lives at Number — , but I 
 will not intrude upon the poor man's brief interval of 
 quiet. He will have troubles enough in that thorn- 
 cushioned Editorial Chair, which is forwarded to him 
 this day by the Parcels (Happy) Delivery Company. 
 
 In our first number, Ladies and Gentlemen, I, 
 your obedient servant, likened himself to the captain 
 of a ship, to which and whom I wished a pleasant 
 voyage. Pleasant ! Those who have travelled on 
 shipboard know what a careworn, oppressed, uncom- 
 fortable man the captain is. Meals disturbed, quiet 
 impossible, rest interrupted ; such is the lot of cap- 
 tains. This one resigns his commission. I had 
 rather have a quiet life than gold-lace and epaulets ; 
 and deeper than ever did plummet sound, I fling my 
 speaking-trumpet. Once, in a voyage to America, I 
 met a sea-captain who was passenger in the ship 
 which he formerly commanded. No man could be 
 more happy, cheerful, courteous than this. He rode 
 through the gale with the most perfect confidence in 
 the ship and its captain ; he surveyed the storm as 
 being another gentleman's business ; and his great 
 delight was to be called at his watch to invoke a 
 blessing on the steward's boy who woke him, and to 
 turn round in his crib and go to sleep again. Let my 
 successor command the Cornhill^ giving me always a 
 passage on board ; and if the printer's boy rings at 
 my door of an early morning with a message that 
 there are three pages wanting or four too much, I 
 will send out my benediction to the printer's boy and 
 take t'other half-hour's doze. 
 
 Though Editor no more, I hope long to remain a 
 contributor to my friend's Magazine. I believe my 
 own special readers will agree that my books will 
 not suffer when their Author is released from the 
 daily task of reading, accepting, refusing, losing and 
 finding the works of other people. To say No has 
 often cost me a morning's peace and a day's work. I 
 tremble rece7iti vietii. Oh, those hours of madness

 spent in searching for Louisa's lost lines to her dead 
 Piping Bullfinch, for Nhoj Senoj's mislaid Essay! I 
 tell them for the last time the (late) Editor will 
 not be responsible for rejected communications, and 
 herewith send off the Chair and the great Cornhill 
 Magazine Tin-box, with its load of care. 
 
 Whilst the present tale of "Philip" is passing 
 through the press I am preparing another, on which 
 I have worked at intervals for many years past, and 
 which I hope to introduce in the ensuing year ; and 
 I have stipulated for the liberty of continuing the little 
 Essays which have amused the public and the writer, 
 and which I propose to contribute from time to time 
 to the pages of the Cornhill Magazine. 
 
 The reason usually assigned as the cause of Thack- 
 eray's resignation is that he found the work too trouble- 
 some. He made it the harder by his inability to say 
 "No" curtly, and it was terrible to him to have to 
 refuse to print the work of a friend. It cost him hours 
 of agony to write to decline Mrs. Browning's poem, 
 " Lord Walter's Wife," which he did not think suitable 
 for the Cornhill Magazine. He was, indeed, too sensi- 
 tive to do the work with comfort. 
 
 Ah me [he cried] we wound where we never in- 
 tended to strike ; we create anger where we never 
 meant harm ; and these thoughts are the thorns in 
 our cushion. Out of mere malignity, I suppose, 
 there is no man who would like to make enemies. 
 But here in this editorial business you can't do other- 
 wise, and a queer, sad, strange, bitter thought it is 
 that must ever cross the mind of many a public man. 
 Do what I will, be innocent or spiteful, be generous 
 or cruel, there are A and B, and C and D who will 
 hate me to the end of the chapter — to the chapter's 
 end — to the finis of the page — when hate and envy, 
 fortune and disappointment, shall be over.^

 " How can I go into society?" he said. '*I dined 
 out the other day, and at the table were four gentlemen 
 whose masterpieces of literature I had declined with 
 thanks." The letters that accompanied the proffered 
 contributions were frequently of a nature to distress him. 
 Referring to one of these, sent with a poem, 
 
 Here is the case [he said] put with true female 
 logic. "I am poor; I am good; I am ill; I work 
 hard ; I have a sick mother and hungry brothers and 
 sisters dependent on me. You can help us if you 
 will." And then I look at the paper with the 
 thousandth part of a faint hope that it may be suitable, 
 and I find it won't do ; and I knew it wouldn't do ; 
 and why is this poor lady to appeal to my pity, and 
 bring her little ones kneeling to my bedside, and 
 calling for bread which I can give them if I choose? 
 No day passes but that argument ad misericordiam 
 is used. Day and night that sad voice is crying out 
 for help. Thrice it appealed to me yesterday. Twice 
 this morning it cried to me : and I have no doubt 
 when I go to get my hat I shall find it with its piteous 
 fate and its pale family about it, waiting for me in 
 the hall. One of the immense advantages which 
 women have over our sex is, that they actually like 
 to read these letters. Like letters? O mercy on us ! 
 Before I was an editor I did not like the postman 
 much : — but now !^ 
 
 Well, the poem was useless ; it was entirely without 
 merit or value, and could never appear in the Cornhill 
 Magazine^ or, for the matter of that, in any other 
 magazine. Yet the manuscript in question — and who 
 knows how many others also — because of the pathetic 
 letter, was probably never returned to its authoress, who, 
 instead, received a brief and formal note. I can see the 
 
 ' Thorns in the Cushion.
 
 1863] HIS GENEROSITY 45 
 
 dear, great man writing it in secret, and hurriedly- 
 thrusting the letter into a drawer at the sound of 
 approaching footsteps, stating that the editor of the 
 Cornhill Magazine had much pleasure in accepting the 
 little verses, and enclosing a cheque, quite out of pro- 
 portion to the length, let alone the merits of the poem. 
 And if that cheque could be shown we should notice 
 that, by some error, it was drawn on Mr. Thackeray's 
 own banking-account, and not on that of Messrs. Smith, 
 Elder and Co., the proprietors of the magazine. And 
 then, too, the poem would never appear in the periodi- 
 cal. Still more strange, and most astonishing of all, 
 when his successor examined the manuscripts accepted, 
 and not yet printed by his predecessor, there would be 
 no trace of the poem, and no record of it in the books 
 of the firm — but then, all the world knows how un- 
 methodical Thackeray was. 
 
 Thackeray told Mr. James Payn how a young man 
 had sent him a long story, for which he demanded 
 particular attention from "the greatest of novelists," 
 upon the ground that he had a sick sister entirely 
 dependent upon him for support, and how, touched by 
 the appeal, he wrote to his correspondent a long letter 
 of advice, enclosing also some pecuniary assistance. 
 "I feel for your position," he said, "and appreciate 
 your motive for exertion ; but I must tell you at once 
 that you will never do anything in literature. Your 
 contribution is worthless in every way, and it is the 
 truest kindness, both to her for whom you are working, 
 and to yourself, to tell you so straight. Turn your 
 mind at once to some other industry" — and how this 
 produced a reply couched in the most offensive terms
 
 46 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1860- 
 
 conceivable, and ending by telling "the greatest of 
 novelists " that, although he had attained by good luck 
 the top of the tree, he would one day find himself, 
 where he deserved to be, at the bottom of it. " For my 
 part," said Thackeray (upon Mr. Payn showing some 
 preliminary symptoms of suffocation), '* I see little to 
 laugh at. What a stupid, ungrateful beast the man 
 must be ! And if ever I waste another half-hour writ- 
 ing to a creature of that sort, call me a horse, or 
 worse ! " ^ 
 
 What Punch had been to Thackeray in his struggling 
 days, the Conihill Magazine was to him in the hour of 
 his success. He had years before it was founded been 
 relieved from the eternal want of pence that troubles 
 the soul of most men of letters. " Now, the dear girls 
 are provided for, the great anxiety is taken from my 
 life, and I can breathe freely for the little time that is 
 left for me to be with them," he said to Bayard Taylor 
 after the second visit to America. He calculated his 
 receipts from his pen in the twenty years ending in 1859 
 to have amounted to ;^32,ooo. "Vanity Fair" had 
 brought in i^200o, and "Esmond" about the same; 
 "The Newcomes" ;6^4000, and "The Virginians" 
 ;^6ooo ; while the profits of the lecture tours were about 
 ;^9500. His annual expenses had averaged ^1000, and 
 he had contrived to save ;{S'i 3,000, and hoped within the 
 next three years to replace the rest of his patrimony. 
 Thanks to the Cor nhill Magazine he did better than he 
 expected. Apart from his novels, he received the record 
 price for short articles, twelve guineas a page, and, 
 when the success of his periodical was assured, the pro- 
 
 ' James Payn : Literary Recollections.

 prietor most generously doubled the editorial salary. 
 Naturally Thackeray was in high spirits.

 Henry Davidson early in i860]. Read the Cornhill

 To the Cornhill Magazine in its first year Thackeray 
 contributed " Lovel the Widower" and "The Four 
 Georges," and in 1861 began " Philip," which ran 
 until August 1862 ; while throughout these years he 
 wrote from time to time those inimitable little essays, 
 the " Roundabout Papers," in which he is autobio- 
 graphical, impersonal, fanciful, angry, tender, exulting, 
 sad, preaching always the gospel of Love and deplor- 
 ing the Vanitas Vanitahim. The number of the maga- 
 zine for December 1863 on the orange-coloured fly-leaf 
 bore the announcement that "a new serial story by 
 W. M. Thackeray would commence early in the new 
 year." 
 
 I intend [he had written to Motley in 1858] to write 
 a novel of the time of Henry V, which will be my

 characters, Warringtons, Pendennises, and the rest

 performance, and nobody will read it.^ 
 
 This idea, however, had been abandoned in favour 
 of ** Denis Duval," and that part of it which was 
 finished appeared posthumously from March to July, 
 1864. It had been said that Thackeray was exhausted, 
 and unkindly critics suggested that for the sake of his 
 reputation he had better write no more novels : it is 
 true that ''The Virginians" and "Philip" were not 
 on the same level as stories that came before ; but 
 "Denis Duval" came as the answer to those who 
 thought Thackeray was played out, for this story 
 was nearly as good as anything he had ever done, and 
 there are few things in his books more perfect than the 
 description of Madame de Saverne's sorrows and mad- 
 ness and death.

 CHAPTER XXI 
 
 LAST YEARS (1862-1863) 
 
 Further reasons for Thackeray's resignation of the Cornhill Magazine — 
 his failing health — his "dragons" — his convivial habits — his hard 
 work — his appearance in 1858 — his standard of comfort — his weari- 
 ness — his mode of writing — rebuilds No. 2, Palace Green — and goes 
 to live there — the house-warming — the History of Queen Anne — 
 realises that his days are numbered — the last months of his life — the 
 Cruikshank Exhibition — Founder's Day at the Charterhouse, 1863 — 
 his death — and burial. 
 
 IT was not editorial worries that induced Thack- 
 eray to resign the editorship of the Cornhill 
 Magazine so much as failing health. He was 
 only fifty-one, but he had had many severe ill- 
 nesses, and he had, too, an internal disease that 
 frequently racked him with pain. He should have 
 husbanded his strength; but to take care of himself was 
 the last thing he would do. He had the best medical 
 advice, and was frequently to be seen in Sir Henry 
 Thompson's consulting-room, but, as he said, ''What 
 is the use of advice if you don't follow it? They tell 
 me not to drink, and I do drink. They tell me not to 
 eat, and I do eat. In short I do everything I am not to 
 do, and, therefore, what is to be expected?" How true 
 this was may be gathered from a story told by Bayard 
 Taylor, who went with Thackeray to pay a visit to 
 Baron Marochetti. The sculptor gave a small engray^

 ing of Albert Diirer's "St. George and the Dragon" 
 to Thackeray, who accepted it with great pleasure, but 
 suddenly became grave. " I shall hang it near the 
 head of my bed, where I can see it every morning," he 
 said. ''We have all our dragons to fight. Do you know 
 yours? I know mine: I have not one, but two. Indo- 
 lence and luxury ... I am serious. I never take up 
 the pen without an effort. I work only from necessity. 
 I never walk without seeing some pretty useless thing 
 which I want to buy. Sometimes I pass the same shop 
 window every day for months, and resist the tempta- 
 tion and think I am safe ; then comes the day of weak- 
 ness, and I yield. My physician tells me that I must 
 live very simply, and not dine out so much ; but I 
 cannot break off the agreeable habit. I shall look at 
 this picture, and think of my dragons, though I don't 
 expect to overcome them." Cordy Jeaffreson one day 
 said to him, "You have drunk a good deal in your 
 time." "Enough to float a 74-gun ship," the novelist 
 answered. "Since I came out of my poverty, a bottle 
 has been my daily minimum, and on three out of every 
 four days I have taken a second bottle. I may be called 
 a two-bottle man ; and that takes no account of the two 
 or three glasses of wine at midday, nor of the punches 
 and grogs in the hours about midnight."^ Thackeray 
 had, indeed, lived hard, especially in the years before 
 success came to him. In the early forties Edward 
 FitzGerald told Frederick Tennyson how their friend 
 wrote half the day : " Reviews and newspapers all the 
 morning ; dining, drinking, and talking of a night ; 
 managing to preserve a fresh colour and perpetual flow

 of spirits under a wear and tear of thinking and feed- 
 ing that would have knocked up all the other men I 
 know two years ago, at least." 
 
 This combination of work and play undermined 
 Thackeray's health, and about the time of the publica- 
 tion of ''Vanity Fair" he told Brookfield he had 
 something which prevented his being able to insure 
 his life. Illness and hard work and his mode of living 
 had worn him out prematurely, and he was an old man 
 before his time. *'He has the appearance," Motley 
 wrote to his wife in the summer of 1858, *' of a colossal 
 infant — smooth white shiny ringletty hair, flaxen, 
 alas ! with advancing years, a roundish face, with a 
 little dab of a nose, upon which it is a perpetual wonder 
 how he keeps his spectacles, a sweet but rather piping 
 voice with something of the childish treble about it, 
 and a very tall, slightly stooping figure." 
 
 Except in regard to the lamentable tragedy of his 
 married life — and what a cross that was for any man to 
 bear ! — there is no occasion to pity Thackeray. He 
 had to work hard as a young man, and during that 
 period he had disappointments and may well have been 
 angry that the public did not realise that the author of 
 "Barry Lyndon" had genius; but fame came to him 
 at seven-and-thirty, a world-wide fame. Still, however, 
 he worked as hard as ever : it is said because he desired 
 to make provision for his children. That undoubtedly 
 was his object, but it could have been achieved if he 
 had done only half the work and lived more econom- 
 ically. Writing to his mother he told how "Tom 
 Carlyle lives in perfect dignity in a little ^40 house at 
 Chelsea, with a snuffy Scotch maid to open the door,
 
 52 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1862- 
 
 and the best company in England knocking at it " ; but 
 it was not in him to emulate the example of his great 
 contemporary. Unfortunately for himself his standard 
 of comfort was high, and rather than reduce this, and 
 live more economically, he preferred to work double 
 shifts to the end of his days. 
 
 Thackeray must have his man-servant, a big house, 
 a good cellar, his horse, and, later, his brougham. 
 Every man may order his life in his own way, and 
 none have the right to blame : but because a man, 
 to use Thackeray's expression, "takes too many 
 crops out of his brain " to provide himself and his with 
 luxuries, none should waste pity upon him in the matter 
 of his labour. 
 
 As the years passed he became very weary. "All I 
 can do now," he said towards the end of his life, " is to 
 bring out my old puppets, and put new bits of ribbon 
 upon them. I have told my tale in the novel depart- 
 ment. I only repeat old things in a pleasant way, but I 
 have nothing fresh to say. I get sick of my task when 
 I am ill, and think ' Good Heavens ! what is all this 
 story about ?' " Even when "Vanity Fair" had only 
 just appeared he required rest and quiet, and he was 
 urged by his friends to work less. One of them, 
 indeed, went so far as to offer him facilities to do so. 
 At last, he found he could not work at will. " My 
 number is nearly due," he said to Miss Henrietta 
 Corkran when he was editing the Cornhill Magazine^ 
 "but I cannot make it come. ... I would like to 
 rest my head in some quiet corner ; I had a nice scene 
 this morning, and I cannot call to mind a bit of it 
 now,"
 
 1863] METHOD OF WORK 53 
 
 There is no doubt his method of work was injurious 
 to his health, for he could only write at high pressure. 
 "I cannot write comfortably in my own room. I do 
 most of my composition at hotels or at a club. There 
 is an excitement in public places which sets my brain 
 working. I can write anywhere better than at home, 
 and I write less at home than anywhere. I did not 
 write ten pages of ' The Newcomes ' in that house at 
 Brompton." He had his stated hours for writing. 
 He would take a quiet table at the Athenasum Club, 
 and cover a few of those little slips of papers upon 
 which he wrote his stories ; and later in the day he 
 would go to the Garrick Club, and write a few more 
 pages ; but he was easily tempted to go for a walk, or 
 to join in an interesting conversation, and to put his 
 sheets away until another time. '' I can conceive 
 nothing more harassing in the literary way," Motley 
 wrote in June, 1858, to his wife, "than Thackeray's 
 way of living from hand to mouth. I mean in regard 
 to the way he furnishes food to the printer's devil. 
 Here he is just finishing the number that must appear 
 in a few days. Of course, whether ill or well, stupid 
 or fertile, he must produce the same amount of fun, 
 pathos, or sentiment. His gun must be regularly 
 loaded and discharged at command. I should think 
 it would wear his life out." It did wear his life out; 
 and Dickens told Fields that when he looked at Thack- 
 eray lying in his coffin, he wondered that the figure he 
 had known in life as of such noble presence could 
 seem so shrunken and wasted ; his hands were quite 
 thin, like those of an old man of eighty. 
 
 Thackeray in 1859 had taken a long lease of a rather
 
 54 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1862- 
 
 dilapidated house in Palace Green. It was his inten- 
 tion to repair and improve the existing structure ; but, 
 after careful consideration, he pulled it down ; and, in 
 its place, from his own drawings, erected a handsome 
 mansion of red brick with stone facings, in the style of 
 Queen Anne. Thackeray looked upon the house as 
 a judicious investment ; and when a friend playfully 
 reminded him of what Horace said of those who, for- 
 getful of death, built houses, he replied cheerfully : 
 '' No, I am memor sepulchri^ for this house will always 
 let for so many hundreds a year." He was thoroughly 
 satisfied with his ''lordly dwelling-house." "Well, 
 upon my word, it is one of the nicest houses I have 
 ever seen," he declared ; and he was enthusiastic 
 about the old green and the old palace and the magni- 
 ficent trees before the windows at which he wrote. 
 
 He moved from Onslow Square to Palace Green 
 early in February 1862, and a few weeks later gave 
 a house-warming. "The cards of invitation," Canon 
 Irvine has recorded, "were for ' W. Empty House,' 
 denoting at once its unfurnished condition and the 
 initials of its owner ; and the bill proclaimed the fare 
 of our host's play of * The Wolves and the Lamb ' (to 
 be enacted by Herman Merivale, Sir Charles Young, 
 Morgan O'Connell, Follett Synge, Quintin Twiss, 
 Mrs. Caulfield, two daughters of Sir Henry Cole, and 
 Thackeray's younger girl), to be followed by a farce 
 entitled 'A Desperate Game,' by J. Maddison Morton, 
 the author of ' Box and Cox,' who, curiously enough, 
 ended his days as a Charterhouse Codd. I see in the 
 play-bill that Mr. Thackeray is announced as Mr. 
 Bonnington, but in fact he only appeared upon the
 
 1863] "HISTORY OF QUEEN ANNE" 55 
 
 stage just before the fall of the curtain to say, ' Bless 
 you, my children.'" 
 
 Installed in his new house, Thackeray finished 
 ** Philip," the last instalment of which appeared in 
 the Cornhill Magazine in August 1862 ; and there he 
 also wrote many " Roundabout Papers." He had 
 been asked to continue Macaulay's History of England, 
 and this offer he neither refused nor accepted at the 
 moment. 
 
 Queen Anne has long been my ambition [he wrote 
 to Dr., afterwards Sir John, Skelton], but she will 
 take many a long year's labour, and I can't ask any 
 other writer to delay on my account. At the be- 
 ginning of the year I had prepared an announcement 
 stating that I was engaged on that history ; but kept 
 it back, as it was necessary that I should pursue my 
 old trade of novelist for some time yet to come. 
 Meanwhile her image stands before St. Paul's, for 
 all the world to look at ; and who knows but some 
 one else may be beforehand with both of us, and 
 sketch her off while we are only laying the palette.^ 
 
 Thackeray, hoping one day to undertake the task, 
 stocked his library with the necessary books. "Here," 
 he said, "here, I am going to write my greatest work 
 — a 'History of the Reign of Queen Anne.' There 
 are my materials" — pointing to a collection of volumes 
 in various bindings, which occupied a separate place 
 on the shelves. "Probably" (I shall begin it) "as 
 soon as I am done with ' Philip ' ; but I am not sure 
 I may not have to write another novel first. But the 
 history will mature all the better for the delay. I want 
 to absorb the authorities gradually, so that when I come 
 
 ^ The Table-Talk of Shirley.
 
 56 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1862- 
 
 to write, I shall be filled with the subject, and can sit 
 down to a continuous narrative, without jumping up 
 every moment to consult somebody. The History has 
 been a pet project of mine for some years past. I'm 
 slowly working up to the level of it, and know that 
 when I once begin I shall do it well." But even as 
 the unexpected journey to the East caused the abandon- 
 ment of the " Life of Talleyrand," so another and 
 more untimely voyage to a more distant land deprived 
 the world of Thackeray's "History of the Reign of 
 Queen Anne." 
 
 Now we are half a century old, and the kind hand 
 which wrote the name in the books in the fine, well- 
 remembered writing is laid under the grass which 
 will cover us old gentlemen too ere long, after our 
 little life's journey is over [he wrote in 1861 to an old 
 Charterhouse friend]. And the carriage is going 
 down hill, isn't it? Mine is, after having had some 
 pleasant travelling, after being well-nigh upset, after 
 being patched up again, after being robbed by foot- 
 pads, etc., etc. The terminus can't be far off — a few 
 years more or less. I wouldn't care to travel over 
 the ground again, though I have had some pleasant 
 days and dear companions.^ 
 
 The months passed uneventfully, except for the fact 
 that in November, 1862, Thackeray had another serious 
 illness, and realised that his days were numbered. 
 When William Follett Synge had left England in the 
 previous year to take up the duties of Commissioner 
 for the Sandwich Islands, Thackeray told him: **I 
 want to tell you that I shall never see you again. I 
 feel that I am doomed. I know that this will grieve 
 
 1 H. Vizetelly : Glances Back through Seventy Years, Vol. II, p. io8.
 
 i863] A PRAYER 57 
 
 you ; but look in that book and you will find some- 
 thing that I am sure will please and comfort you." 
 The "something" was a prayer in which "he prayed 
 that he might never write a word inconsistent with the 
 love of God, or the love of man ; that he might never 
 propagate his own prejudices to pander to those of 
 others : that he might always speak the truth with his 
 pen, and that he might never be actuated by a love of 
 greed. And I particularly remember," Mr. Synge has 
 written, "that the prayer wound up with the words, 
 ' For the sake of Jesus Christ, our Lord.' "^ Thackeray 
 was doubtless thinking of himself when in a "Round- 
 about Paper" he wrote of Dr. London and Dr. Edin- 
 burgh, for, like the former, knowing the end was ap- 
 proaching, he 
 
 made up his accounts with heaven. . . . And he 
 said not a word to his family at home ; but lived 
 among them cheerful and tender, and calm and 
 loving ; though he knew that the night was near 
 when he should see them and work no more. . . . 
 And he died ; and his family never knew until he 
 was gone that he had long been aware of the inevit- 
 able doom.'- 
 
 It is also legitimate to suppose that he was thinking 
 of his sentence when in another " Roundabout Paper" 
 he made his peace with the world. 
 
 In former days, I too have militated, sometimes, 
 as I now think, unjustly ; but always, I know, with- 
 out personal rancour. Which of us has not idle 
 words to recall, flippant jokes to regret? Have you 
 never committed an imprudence? Have you never

 58 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1862- 
 
 had a dispute and found out you were wrong? So 
 much the worse for you. Woe be to the man {qui 
 croit toiijours avoir raison) . . . As I write ... I 
 think about one or two little affairs of my own. . . . 
 Never mind, old Squaretoes : never mind, Madame 
 Pomposa ! Here is a hand. Let us be friends, as 
 we once were, and have no more of this rancour. 
 
 There is little to record of these last months of 
 Thackeray's life, save that he was writing ''Denis 
 Duval" and occasionally composing a "Roundabout 
 Paper." During May 1863, Cruikshank was exhibiting 
 his cartoon, " Worship of Bacchus, or. The Drinking 
 Customs of Society," to a generation that knew him 
 not and paid little attention to the picture, until, anxious 
 to show consideration for an old friend, "Kind 
 Thackeray," as the artist's biographer has put it, 
 "came with his grave face, and looked through the 
 little gallery, and went off to write one of his charming 
 essays," which appeared in the Times of May 15. 
 
 Thackeray kept his last Founder's Day at the Charter- 
 house on December 12, looking very well, we have 
 been told. " He was there in his usual back seat in 
 the quaint old chapel," wrote one who was present. 
 "He went thence to the oration in the Governor's 
 room ; and as he walked up to the orator with his con- 
 tribution, was received with such hearty applause as 
 only Carthusians can give to one who has immortalised 
 their school. At the banquet afterwards he sat at the 
 side of his old friend and artist-associate in Punch, 
 John Leech ; and in a humorous speech proposed, as 
 a toast, the noble foundation which he had adorned by 
 his literary fame, and made popular in his works."

 1863] LAST DAYS 59 
 
 Anthony Trollope saw him on December 14, and sat 
 with him talking for half an hour : "I never knew him 
 pleasanter, or more at ease as to his bodily ail- 
 ments"; and two days later Thackeray was dining 
 cheerfully at the Garrick Club, "pretending," one 
 of the company has narrated, " to incite one very 
 old friend to give a party of an excessively gay 
 description, in order, as he said, that we might 
 fancy ourselves all young again." On the next day, 
 Thursday, December 17, with his elder daughter, 
 he dined at the house of Dr. Merriman, who, with 
 Dr. Elliotson, had watched him through his dangerous 
 illness in 1849. "As he entered," Dr. Merriman has 
 recorded, "I saw he was not well, and with his usual 
 kindness he said, * I would only have turned out to 
 come to you as an old friend.' I remember saying, 
 ' Oh ! but you, like every Englishman, will be better 
 for your dinner. Do you know Jean Ingelow?' 
 ' No — the woman in all London whom I am most 
 anxious to know,' was the reply. 'Do you know the 
 quondam Miss Croker?' 'No, but she is not here,' 
 he replied. They were both present, and I had the 
 great pleasure of introducing him to them. He soon 
 revived under this mental pleasure. Ere we reached 
 the dining-room he was himself again, and, falling in 
 i with an old Carthusian, Sir George Barrow, all went 
 ' as pleasantly as possible. . . . My friend stayed late, 
 his daughter going on to some other party, and I 
 strolled up Young Street with him ; we halted by 
 i * No. 13,' when he alluded to old times and happy days 
 '■ there ; he told me ' Vanity Fair ' was his greatest work, 
 and ' The Cane-Bottomed Chair ' his favourite ballad ;
 
 6o WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY [1862- 
 
 and we parted at the top of 'Our Street,' never to 
 meet again alive in this world. "^ 
 
 Carlyle has related how on December 20 he 
 "was riding in the dusk, heavy of heart, along by 
 the Serpentine and Hyde Park, when some human 
 brother from a chariot, with a young lady in it, threw 
 me a shower of salutations. I looked up — it was 
 Thackeray with his daughter : the last time I was to 
 see him in this world." On the 21st Thackeray attended 
 the funeral of a relative, Lady Rodd ; and on that day 
 or the next he went to the Athenseum. There he and 
 Dickens passed each other on the stairs as usual, since 
 the Yates affair, without giving any sign of recognition ; 
 then Thackeray turned back, and with outstretched 
 hand went up to Dickens and said he could no longer 
 bear to be on any but the old terms of friendship. '' I 
 saw him shortly before Christmas at the Athenceum 
 Club," Dickens has recorded, "when he told me he 
 had been in bed three days — that after these attacks he 
 was troubled with cold shiverings which quite took the 
 work out of him, and that he had it in his mind to try 
 a new remedy which he described. He was very cheer- 
 ful and looked very bright." A few days later Dickens 
 was looking down into the other's grave. 
 
 On the evening of Thursday, December 23, Thackeray 
 went into his study and worked on the proofs of " Denis 
 Duval " ; but feeling ill, he retired at an early hour. 
 It was noticed afterwards that the last words he revised 
 were, "And my heart throbbed with an exquisite bliss." 
 The next morning he was found dead in his bed, effusion

 MY Lord Duke and Gentlemen, — The 
 Novelists of England ought to have 
 been represented by another person 
 who is here present ; one of the great 
 novelists of England, and as we have heard from 
 my old friend Dr. Russell, one of the greatest bene- 
 factors of this Society, and that novelist sits there, — 
 Mr. James. For my part, I have been called upon to 
 make a speech in reply to what I must call the most 
 astounding and most undeserved laudation. Having 
 a liking for caricature myself, my lord, I must not 
 complain of the sort of brilliancy of colour with which 
 Mr. Adolphus has chosen to depict a portrait which 
 I cannot recognise. Whereas it may be supposed ; 
 and yet — but really — to use a novel expression, I feel 
 myself totally at a loss to answer the compliments he

 has paid me ; and I am utterly at a standstill. I 
 beg to say that if the approbation which my profession 
 receives is such as Mr. Adolphus is pleased to say it 
 has been, I can only say, Gentlemen and my lord Duke, 
 that we are nearly as happy in this country as our 
 brother Literary men are in foreign countries ; and that 
 we have all but arrived at the state of dethroning you 
 all. I don't wish that this catastrophe may be brought 
 about for the sake of personal peace ; for one, I am 
 desirous to read my books, write my articles, and get 
 my money ; I should not wish that that should ever 
 take place ; but if I survey mankind, not "from China 
 to Peru," but over the map of Europe, with that cursory 
 glance that Novel Writers can afford to take, I see 
 nothing but Literary men who seem to be super- 
 intending the affairs of the Continent ; and only our 
 happy island which is exempt from the Literary 
 despotism. Look to Italy, towards the boot of which I 
 turn my eye ; and first I find that a great number of 
 Novelists and Literary men are bouleversmg the. country 
 from toe to heel ; turning about Naples and kicking 
 Rome here and there ; and causing sudden onward 
 impetus to the monarchy of the great Carlo Alberto 
 himself. If I go to France I find that men, and more 
 particularly men of my own profession and Mr. James's 
 profession, are governing the country ; I find that 
 writers of fiction, and Authors in general, are ruling 
 over the destinies of the empire ; that Pegasus is, as it 
 were, the charger of the first citizen of the Republic. 
 But arriving at my own country, my Lord Duke, I 
 beseech you to remember that there was a time, a little 
 time ago, on the " loth of April " last, when a great
 
 1848] SPEECHES 67 
 
 Novelist, a member of my own profession, was standing 
 upon Kennington Common in the van of liberty, 
 prepared to assume any responsibility, to take upon 
 himself any direction of government, to decorate him- 
 self with the tricolour sash, or the Robespierre waist- 
 coat, and, but for the timely, and, I may say, "special " 
 interposition of many who are here present, you might 
 have been at present commanded by a president of a 
 Literary Republic, instead of by our present Sovereign, 
 whose health your Grace has drunk to-night ; — 1 doubt 
 whether any presidents of any Literary Republics 
 would contribute as much to the funds of this Society. 
 I don't believe that the country as yet requires so much 
 of our Literary men ; but, in the meanwhile, I suppose 
 it must be the task and endeavour of all us light practi- 
 tioners of Literature to do our best, to say our little 
 say in the honestest way we can, to tell the truth as 
 heartily and as simply as we are able to tell it, to 
 expose the humbug, and to support the honest man. 
 And whilst we perform to our best power this small 
 endeavour, it will be always a great consolation to us 
 to receive such kindly greetings as you have given us, 
 and which I am sure every one of you feel.

 MY Lord and Gentlemen, — I have no words 
 to answer the encomiums of my learned 
 friend. I suppose, my lord, years ago, 
 when you had a duty to perform, you 
 did not think much about, or look to, what men of 
 genius and men of eloquence might say of you, but 
 you went and you did your best with all your power ; 
 and whatever the result you determined to do your 
 best on the next occasion. I believe that is the 
 philosophy of what I have been doing in the course of 
 my life ; I don't know whether it has tended to fame, 
 or to laughter, or to seriousness ; but I have tried to 
 say the truth, and, as far as I know, I have tried to 
 describe what I saw before me, as well as I best might, 
 and to like my neighbour as well as my neighbour

 would let me like him. All the rest of the speech 
 which I had prepared has fled into thin air ; the only 
 part which I remember was an apology for, or 
 rather an encomium of, the profession of us novelists, 
 which I am bound to say, for the honour of our call- 
 ing, ought to rank with the very greatest literary 
 occupations. Why should historians take precedence 
 of us? Our personages are as real as theirs. For 
 instance, I maintain that our friends Parson Adams 
 and Dr. Primrose are characters as authentic as Dr. 
 Sacheverell, or Dr. Warburton, or any reverend per- 
 sonage of their times. Gil Bias is quite as real and 
 as good a man as the Duke of Lerma, and, I believe, 
 a great deal more so. I was thinking, too, that Don 
 Quixote was, to my mind, as real a man as Don John 
 or the Duke of Alva ; and then I was turning to the 
 history of a gentleman of whom I am particularly 
 fond — a schoolfellow of mine before Dr. Russell's 
 time. I was turning to the life and history of one with 
 whom we are all acquainted, — and that is one Mr. 
 Joseph Addison, — who, I remember, was made Under- 
 Secretary of State at one period of his life, under 
 another celebrated man, — Sir Charles Hedges, I think 
 it was, — but it is now so long ago, I am not sure ; but 
 I have no doubt Mr. Addison was much more proud 
 of his connection with Sir Charles Hedges and his 
 place in Downing Street, and his red box, and his 
 quarter's salary, punctually and regularly paid ; — I 
 daresay he was much more proud of these than of any 
 of the literary honours which he received, such as 
 being the author of the "Tour to Italy" and "The 
 Campaign." But after all, though he was undoubtedly
 
 70 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 connected with Sir Charles Hedges, there was another 
 knight with whom he was much more connected, and 
 that was a certain Sir Roger de Coverley, whom we 
 have always loved and believed in a thousand times 
 better than a thousand Sir Charles Hedges. And as 
 I look round at this table, gentlemen, I cannot but 
 perceive that the materials for my favourite romances 
 are never likely to be wanting to future authors. I 
 don't know that anything I have written has been 
 generally romantic ; but if I were disposed to write a 
 romance, I think I should like to try an Indian tale, 
 and I should take for the heroes of it — or for some of 
 the heroes of it — I would take the noble lord whom I 
 see opposite to me [Lord Hardinge] with the Sutlej 
 flowing behind him, and the enemy in his front, and 
 himself riding before the British army, with his son 
 Arthur and his son Charles by his side. I am sure, in 
 all the regions of romance, I could find nothing more 
 noble and affecting than that story, and I hope some 
 of these days some more able novelist will undertake it. 
 In the meantime, for myself and my brethren, in the 
 absence of a better representative of them to answer 
 to this toast, I thank you for the kindness with which 
 you have received it.

 IF the kindest words, Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, 
 that were ever spoken of me in my life, should not 
 affect me ; if I said that they did not, you might 
 set me down, not for a novelist, but for a romancer. 
 I feel profoundly touched and extremely grateful 
 for the generous notice which has been taken of me, 
 for the discussion which has been given on my humble 
 merits by such a judge in such a court. It will be to 
 me always a source of sincere gratification to think that 
 I can move men who are occupied by grave cares and 
 grave duties all day, and to think I have been able, by 
 labours or by works of my own, to find a kindly place 
 in their thoughts, and almost I should say, from what 
 the Vice-Chancellor has been good enough to say, 
 almost, I should say, in the affections. Works of liter- 
 ature have their peculiar rewards. In my profession, we 
 get immense premiums, and amongst them is this one 
 which has exhibited itself so nobly to-night, and for 
 which I do feel most sincerely and proudly grateful. 
 Sir, I think, as we have a number of foreign gentlemen

 here present, and the question of literature has been 
 brought upon the tapis^ that a certain error, in which 
 you yourself — with all respect be it said — have partially 
 indulged, should be protested against ; at least on the 
 part of myself and some people of my profession. I 
 want to inform all foreign gentlemen here present, that 
 Literary men are not by any means, at this present time, 
 that most unfortunate and most degraded set of people 
 whom they are sometimes represented to be. If foreign 
 gentlemen should, by any chance, go to see "The 
 Rivals " represented at one of our theatres, they will 
 see Captain Absolute and Miss Lydia Languish making 
 love to one another and conversing, if not in the 
 costume of the present day, or such as gentlemen and 
 ladies are accustomed to use, at any rate in something 
 near it ; whereas, when the old father. Sir Anthony 
 Absolute, comes in, nothing will content the stage but 
 that he should appear with red heels, large buckles, 
 and an immense Ramillies wig. This is the stage 
 tradition : they won't believe in an old man unless he 
 appears in this dress and with this wig ; nor in an old 
 lady unless she comes forward in a quilted petticoat and 
 high-heeled shoes ; nor in Hamlet's gravedigger unless 
 he wears some four-and-twenty waistcoats ; and so on. 
 Well, I think, in my trade, in my especial branch 
 of literature, the same tradition exists ; and certain 
 persons are constantly apt to bring forward or to 
 believe in the existence, at this moment, of the miserable 
 old literary hack of the time of George the Second, and 
 bring him before us as the literary man of this day. 
 I say that that disreputable old phantom ought to be 
 hissed out of society. I don't believe in the literary
 
 i8si] SPEECHES 73 
 
 man being obliged to resort to ignoble artifices and 
 mean flatteries to get places at the tables of the great, 
 and to enter into society upon sufferance. I don't 
 believe in the patrons of this present day, except such 
 patrons as I am happy to have in you, and as any 
 honest man might be proud to have and shake by 
 the hand and be shaken by the hand by. Therefore 
 I propose from this day forth that the oppressed literary 
 man should disappear from among us. The times are 
 altered, the people don't exist; "the patron and the 
 jail," praise God, are vanished from out our institutions. 
 It may be possible that the eminent Mr. Edmund Curll 
 stood in the pillory in the time of Queen Anne, who, 
 thank God, is dead ; it may be that in the reign of 
 another celebrated monarch of these realms. Queen 
 Elizabeth, authors who abused the persons of honour 
 would have their arms cut off on the first offence, and 
 be hanged on the second. Gentlemen, what would be 
 the position of my august friend and patron, Mr. 
 Punch, if that were now the case? Where would be 
 his hands and his neck, and his ears and his bowels? 
 He would be disembowelled, and his members cast 
 about the land. We don't want patrons, we want 
 friends; and I thank God we have them ; and as for any 
 idea that our calling is despised by the world, I do, for 
 my part, protest against and deny the whole statement. 
 I have been in all sorts of society in this world, and 
 I have never been despised that I know of. I don't 
 believe there has been a literary man of the slightest 
 merit or of the slightest mark who did not greatly 
 advance himself by his literary labours. I see along 
 this august table gentlemen whom I have had the
 
 74 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 honour of shaking by the hand, and gentlemen whom 
 I should never have called my friends but for the 
 humble literary labours I have been engaged in. And 
 therefore, I say, don't let us be pitied any more. As 
 for pity being employed upon authors, especially in my 
 branch of the profession, if you will but look at the 
 novelists of the present day, I think you will see it 
 is altogether out of the question to pity them. We 
 will take, in the first place, if you please, a great 
 novelist who is the great head of a great party in a 
 great assembly in this country. When this celebrated 
 man went into his county to be proposed to represent 
 it, and he was asked on what interest he stood, he 
 nobly said he "stood on his head." And who can 
 question the gallantry and brilliancy of that eminent 
 crest of his ? and what man will deny the great merit 
 of Mr. Disraeli ? Take next another novelist, who 
 writes from his ancestral hall, and addresses John Bull, 
 in letters, on matters of politics ; and John Bull buys 
 eight editions of those letters. Is not this a prospect 
 for a novelist? There is a third, one of whom the Vice- 
 Chancellor has spoken to-night, who is employed upon 
 this very evening, head and hand, — heart and voice, 
 I may say, — in a work of charity. And what is the 
 consequence? The Queen of the realm, the greatest 
 nobles of the empire, all the great of the world, will 
 assemble to see him and to do him honour. I say, 
 therefore, don't let us have pity. I don't want it till 
 I really do want it. Of course it is impossible for us to 
 settle the mere prices by which the works of those who 
 amuse the public are to be paid. I am perfectly aware 
 that Signor Twankeydillo, of the Italian Opera, and
 
 i8si] SPEECHES 75 
 
 Mademoiselle Petitpas of the Haymarket, will get a 
 great deal more money in a week for the skilful exercise 
 of their chest and toes than I, or you, or any gentlemen 
 here present, should be able to get by our brains and 
 by weeks of hard labour. We cannot help these 
 differences in payment ; we know there must be high 
 and low payments in our trade, as in all trades ; that 
 there must be gluts of the market and over-production ; 
 that there must be successful machinery, and rivals, 
 and brilliant importations from foreign countries ; that 
 there must be hands out of employ, and tribulation 
 of workmen. But these ill-winds which afflict us blow 
 fortunes to our successors. They are natural evils. It 
 is the progress of the world, rather than any evil which 
 we can remedy ; and that is why I say this society acts 
 most wisely and justly, in endeavouring to remedy, not 
 the chronic distress, but the temporary evil ; that it 
 finds a man at the moment of the pinch of necessity, 
 helps him a little, and gives him a "God-speed," and 
 sends him on his way. For my own part, I have felt 
 that necessity, and bent under that calamity ; and it 
 is because I have found friends who have nobly, with 
 God's blessing, helped me at that moment of distress 
 that I feel deeply interested in the ends of a Society 
 which has for its object to help my brother in similar 
 need.

 which you have received his sentiments. We, from

 gentlemen may have seen at the opera, who comes 
 forward and demurely waters the stage, to the applause 
 of the audience, — never mind who is the great Taglione, 
 or the Lind, or the Wagner, who is to receive all the 
 glory. For my part, I am happy to fulfil that humble 
 office, and to make my little speech, and to return, and 
 leave the place for a greater and more able performer. 
 In listening to the speech of my friend General Pasley, 
 I thought to myself, how like British charity is to 
 British valour, that it must always be well fed before it 
 comes into action ! We see before us a ceremony of 
 this sort, which Britons always undergo with pleasure. 
 There is no tax which the Briton pays so cheerfully 
 as the dinner-tax. Every man here, I have no doubt, 
 who is a little acquainted with the world must have 
 received, in the course of the last month, a basketful of 
 tickets inviting him to meet in this place, for some 
 purpose or other. We have all rapped upon this table, 
 either admiring the speaker for his eloquence, or at 
 any rate applauding him when he sits down. We all 
 of us know — we have had it a hundred times — the 
 celebrated flavour of the old Freemasons' mock-turtle, 
 and the celebrated Freemasons' sherry ; and if I seem 
 to laugh at the usage, the honest, good old English 
 usage, of eating and drinking, which brings us all 
 together for all sorts of good purposes — do not suppose 
 that I laugh at it any more than I would at good, old, 
 honest John Bull, who has, under his good, huge, 
 boisterous exterior, a great deal of kindness and good- 
 ness at the heart of him. Our festival may be compared 
 with such a person ; men meet here and shake hands, 
 kind hearts grow kinder over the table, and a silent
 
 78 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 almoner issues forth from it, the festival over, and 
 gratifies poor people, and relieves the suffering of the 
 poor, which would never be relieved but for your kind- 
 ness. So that there is a grace that follows after your 
 meat and sanctifies it. We have heard the historians 
 and their calling worthily exalted just now ; but it 
 seems to me that my calling will be the very longest and 
 the last of those of all the literary gentlemen I see 
 before me. Long after the present generation is dead, 
 — of readers and authors of books, — there must be kind- 
 ness and generosity, and folly and fidelity, and love, 
 and heroism, and humbug, in all the world ; and, as 
 long as they last, my successors, or the successors of 
 the novelists who come long after us, will have plenty 
 to do, and plenty of subjects to write upon. There may 
 chance to be a time when wars will be over, and the 
 "Decisive Battles" of the world will not need a his- 
 torian. There may arrive a time when the Court of 
 Chancery itself will be extinguished ; and, as perhaps 
 your lordship is aware, there is a certain author of a 
 certain work called '' Bleak House," who, for the past 
 three months, has been assaulting the Court of Chancery 
 in a manner that I cannot conceive that ancient institu- 
 tion will survive ; there may be a time when the Court 
 of Chancery will cease to exist, and when the historian 
 of ''The Lives of the Lord Chancellors " will have no 
 calling. I have often speculated upon what the 
 successor of the novelists in future ages may have to 
 do ; and I have fancied them occupied with the times 
 and people of our own age. If I could fancy a man so 
 occupied hereafter and busied, we will say, with a heroic 
 story, I would take the story, my lord, which I heard
 
 i852l SPEECHES 79 
 
 hinted at the other night by the honoured, the oldest, 
 the bravest, and the greatest man in this country — I 
 would take the great and glorious action of Cape 
 Danger, when, striking to the Powers above alone, the 
 *' Birkenhead" went down — when, with heroic courage 
 and endurance, the men remained on the decks, and the 
 women and children were allowed to go away safe, as 
 the people cheered them, and died doing their duty ! I 
 know of no victory so sublime in the annals of the feats 
 of English valour — I know of no story that could inspire 
 a great author or novelist better than that. Or suppose 
 we should take the story of an individual of the present 
 day, whose name your Lordship has heard already men- 
 tioned ; we might have a literary hero not less literary 
 than Mr. David Copperfield, or Mr. Arthur Pendennis, 
 who is defunct ; we might have a literary hero who, at 
 twenty years of age, astonished the world with his 
 brilliant story of '* Vivian Grey " ; who, in a little time 
 afterwards, and still in the youthful period of his life, 
 amazed and delighted the public with " The Wondrous 
 Tale of Alroy " ; — who, presently following up the course 
 of his career and the development of his philosophical 
 culture, explained to a breathless and listening world 
 the great Caucasian mystery ; who, quitting literature, 
 then went into politics ; met, faced, and fought, and 
 conquered the great political giant and great orator of 
 those days ; who subsequently led Thanes and Earls to 
 battle, and caused reluctant Squires to carry his lance ; 
 and who, but the other day, went in a gold coat to 
 kiss the hand of his Sovereign as Leader of the House of 
 Commons and Chancellor of Her Majesty's Exchequer. 
 What a hero, my Lord, that \v\\\ be for some future
 
 8o WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 novelist, and what a magnificent climax for the third 
 volume of his story ! On the part of myself, my lord, 
 and my companions, I beg to drink your health, and to 
 thank you for the honour you have done us.

 The Dinner given to Thackeray at the London Tavern, 
 Prior to his Departure for America, October ii, 1855 ^ 
 
 I KNOW great quantities of us here present have 
 been invited to a neighbouring palace, where 
 turtle, champagne, and all good things are all 
 plentiful almost as here, and where there reigns 
 a civic monarch with a splendid court of officers, 
 etc. ; the sort of greeting that I had myself to-day — this 
 splendour, etc. — the bevy in the ante-room — have filled 
 my bosom with an elation with which no doubt Sir 
 Francis Graham Moon's [Lord Mayor] throbs. I am 
 surrounded by respectful friends, etc. — and I feel 
 myself like a Lord Mayor. To his lordship's delight 
 and magnificence there is a drawback. In the fountain 
 of his pleasure there surges a bitter. He is thinking 
 about the 9th of November, and I about the 13th of 
 October [when Thackeray was to leave for America]. 
 Some years since, when I was younger, and used to 
 frequent jolly assemblies, I wrote a Bacchanalian

 would sing that song now to the tune of the Dead

 enough — but for you, who seem in a great deal too 
 good spirits. I tell you I am not — all the drink in Mr. 
 Bathe's cellars [Bathe was the proprietor of the Lon- 
 don Tavern where the dinner was held] won't make 
 me. There may be sherry five hundred years old — 
 Columbus may have taken it out from Cadiz with him 
 when he went to discover America, and it won't make 
 me jolly, etc. ; and yet entirely unsatisfactory as this 
 feast is to me, I should like some more. Why can't 
 you give me some more ? I don't care about them 
 costing two guineas a head. It is not the trouble I 
 value. Let us go to Simpson's fish ordinary — or to 
 Bertolini's, or John o' Groat's, etc. I don't want to go 
 away — I cling round the mahogany tree. 
 
 In the course of my profound and extensive reading 
 I have found it the habit of the English nation to give 
 dinners to the unfortunate. I have been dining lately 
 with some worthy singular fellows a hundred and fifty 
 or a hundred and sixty years old. I find that upon 
 certain occasions the greatest attention was always paid 
 them. They might call for anything they liked for 
 dinner. My friend Simon Frazer, Lord Lovat [be- 
 headed for treason, 1747], about a hundred years since, 
 I think, partook very cheerfully of minced veal and 
 sack before he was going on his journey — Lord Ferrars 
 [executed for murder, 1760], rice — and I could tell you 
 a dozen jolly stories about feasts of this sort. I re- 
 member a particularly jolly one at which I was present, 
 and which took place at least nine hundred years ago.

 that jolly party, appear so haggard and melancholy? It 
 was because he saw before him the ghost of John 
 Cooper, with chalked face and an immense streak of 
 vermilion painted across his throat. No wonder he was 
 disturbed. In like manner I have before me at this 
 minute the horrid figure of a steward with a basin or a 
 glass of brandy and water, which he will press me to 
 drink, and which I shall try and swallow, and which 
 won't make me any better — I know it won't. Then there's 
 the dinner, which we all of us must remember in our 
 schoolboy days, and which took place twice or thrice a 
 year at home, on the day before Birch expected his 
 young friends to reassemble at his academy, Rodwell 
 Regis. Don't you remember how that morning was 
 spent? — how you went about taking leave of the gar- 
 den, and the old mare and foal, and the paddock, and 
 the pointers in the kennel ; and how your little sister 
 kept wistfully at your side all day ; and how you went 
 and looked at that confounded trunk which old Martha 
 was packing with the new shirts, and at that heavy 
 cake packed up in the play-box; and how kind "the 
 governor" was all day, and how at dinner he said,
 
 84 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 *'Jack" — or "Tom" — "pass the bottle," in a very- 
 cheery voice ; and how your mother had got the dishes 
 she knew you liked best ; and how you had the wing 
 instead of the leg, which used to be your ordinary 
 share ; and how that dear, delightful, hot, raspberry 
 roly-poly pudding, good as it was, and fondly be- 
 loved by you, yet somehow had the effect of the 
 notorious school stick-jaw, and choked you and stuck 
 in your throat ; and how the gig came ; and then, how 
 you heard the whirl of mail-coach wheels, and the 
 tooting of the guard's horn as, with an extraordinary 
 punctuality, the mail and the four horses came gallop- 
 ing over the hill? Shake hands, good-bye ! God bless 
 everybody ! Don't cry, sister ; away we go ! and to- 
 morrow we begin with Dr. Birch and six months at 
 Rodwell Regis. But after six months [Thackeray ex- 
 pected to be away for this length of time] come the 
 holidays again ! etc., etc., etc.

 The Dinner given to Thackeray at Edinburgh, 
 March, 1857^ 
 
 IF this kind of reception is to continue — if such 
 hospitality is to go on — if I am to be feasted 
 every day in this way, or in a way almost 
 equally good — allow me to say that, with these 
 dinners, and with this kindness, and with this hos- 
 pitality, you are taking my bread out of my mouth. 
 It is quite an error to suppose that I am a man 
 possessing any benevolent feelings or any gener- 
 ous sympathies with my fellow-creatures. My busi- 
 ness is to find out snobbishness, and meanness, 
 and vulgarity, and base motives in all the people 
 among whom I go. I read in scores and scores of 
 valuable critical works that such is my only task, that 
 such is the dreary occupation of my existence. It is 
 said that if I try to speak of a good man, I render him 
 absurd, and mean, and vulgar ; and of a good woman, 
 that she, too, is foolish, and vapid, and insignificant ; 
 that it is only with agreeable vice that somehow or 
 other my business in life lies, and, in fine, that to 
 picture wickedness, and selfishness, and meanness is 
 my task. I know that this must be true, because I 
 read it a very short time ago in a Liverpool newspaper ; 
 
 ^ Harper's Weelly, April 25, 1857. 
 85
 
 86 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 and not only in a Liverpool newspaper, but in a Liver- 
 pool newspaper which was quoting a Scotch newspaper. 
 This Scotch newspaper enounced these facts which I 
 have been mentioning. ''Catch this fellow," says the 
 Scotch newspaper, ''saying anything kind about any- 
 body " ; and the Liverpool newspaper which prigged 
 my lecture backed up the opinion of the Scotch critic. 
 " Catch him praising anybody, or saying good of any- 
 body." He loves nothing that is lovable ; he praises 
 nothing that is praisable. And yet I thought that in 
 those lectures, which some of you were pleased to come 
 and hear, I had certainly not praised some monarchs 
 who had lived hundreds of years back, but I had 
 praised Burke, and Reynolds, and Goldsmith, and 
 Johnson, and the literary men, the men of art and the 
 men of science, the good men of the time, whom I 
 value more than the Star and Garter wearers of those 
 old days. As far as I know my political opinions, I 
 belong to the class that I see around me here — the class 
 of lawyers, and merchants, and scholars, and men who 
 are striving on in the world, of men of the educated 
 middle classes of this country. And, belonging to 
 them, my sympathies and my desires are with them. 
 If it happened that we were all here an assembly of 
 noblemen and earls, we should, no doubt, form a Vis- 
 count's Government, and think it the best of all Govern- 
 ments possible. If a difficulty arose in China, for 
 instance, we should work for my Lord Duke A. to go 
 out and settle the difficulty, or we should ask Earl B. to 
 go, if my Lord Duke A. were not inclined. If a Minister 
 were wanted at Washington, we should send my Lord 
 A. to fill the place ; or if a Minister were wanted else-
 
 i8s7l SPEECHES 87 
 
 where, there would be some other lord who would be 
 quite ready to accept the office. If we had a war, we 
 should select a noble lord from the Horse Guards to fill 
 the place of Commander-in-Chief, we should select a 
 couple of noble earls to command the cavalry, and we 
 should find out a number of gentlemen of the best fami- 
 lies to go on the staff of these noble lords. If I, for 
 example, were the noble lord who occupied a high posi- 
 tion at home, and especially if I should possibly have a 
 relative in a far distant land where the war was going 
 on, I should most undoubtedly and most unjustifiably 
 write out to those in authority at headquarters to take 
 care of my relative. Against that system I could 
 scarcely protest, because it is perfectly natural. I think 
 it is quite fair that a noble lord should send out and say, 
 ** For Heaven's sake, take care of Dowb " ; but for us on 
 our side I think that we are bound also to look after 
 TuU and Mac. Tull and Mac belong to our family ; 
 they are of the working, sturdy middle-classes. They 
 are men in whom lie, as I believe, the safety, the hope, 
 and the main part of the intelligence of our country. 
 It is to their party that I would like to say that I belong, 
 and I hope that my confession will carry no disloyalty 
 with it, and will meet with no very sincere disapproval 
 from the strongest conservative present.

 Another report concludes : 
 
 I had thought that in these lectures I had spoken in 
 terms, not of disrespect or unkindness, but in feelings 
 and in language not un-English, of her Majesty the 
 Queen ; and whenever I have had to mention her
 
 88 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 name, whether it was upon the banks of the Clyde or 
 upon those of the Mississippi, whether it was in New 
 England or in Old England, whether it was in some 
 great hall in London to the artisans of the suburbs of 
 the metropolis, or to the politer audiences at the western 
 end — whenever I had to mention her name, it was re- 
 ceived with shouts of applause, and with the most 
 hearty cheers. And why was this? It was not on 
 account of the speaker ; it was on account of the truth ; 
 it was because the English and the Americans — the 
 people of New Orleans a year ago, the people of 
 Aberdeen a week ago — all received and acknowledged 
 with due allegiance the great claims to honour which 
 that lady has, who worthily holds that great and awful 
 situation which our Queen occupies. It is my loyalty 
 that is called in question, and it is my loyalty I am 
 trying to plead to you. Suppose, for example, in 
 America — in Philadelphia or in New York — I had 
 spoken of George IV in terms of praise or affected 
 reverence, do you suppose they would have hailed his 
 name with cheers or have heard it with anything like 
 respect? They would have laughed in my face if I 
 had so spoken of him. They know what I know and 
 you know, and what numbers of squeamish loyalists 
 who affect to cry out against my lectures know, that 
 that man's life was not a good life — that that king was 
 not such a king as we ought to love or regard or 
 honour. And I believe, for my part, that in speaking 
 the truth as we hold it, of a bad sovereign, we are 
 paying no disrespect at all to a good one. Far from it. 
 On the contrary, we degrade our own honour and 
 the sovereign's by unduly and unjustly praising
 
 i8S7] SPEECHES 89 
 
 him : and the mere slaverer and flatterer is one who 
 comes forward, as it were, with flash notes, and pays 
 with false coin his tribute to Casar. I don't disguise 
 from you that I feel somehow or other on my trial here 
 for loyalty, for honest English feeling.

 The Royal Literary Fund Dinner, May 19, 1857 ^ 
 
 WHILE the Bishop and the Earl, Mr. 
 Cowper, are pursuing their duties else- 
 where, taking, I suppose, different sides 
 on the question under discussion, we, 
 at any rate, are all united. There is not one of 
 us who is a dis sentient, not one of us who is a Whig 
 or Tory ; but we are all of us ready to unite in saying 
 " Prosperity to the Literary Fund," nine times nine, or 
 eighty-one times eighty-one, or any number that may 
 be proposed will be cheerfully given to that toast. As 
 I look round me, in spite of unavoidable absences 
 which have taken place, I feel that there is nothing 
 here but an immense chorus of prosperity to the 
 Literary Fund. I look to the left, and I see these 
 gentlemen from our Indian possessions, gentlemen I 
 remember in my early days, whose dark faces have 
 saluted me under palm-trees in those climes from 
 which I come myself. I look to the right, and see my 
 kind old friend — whom I call my kind old friend, though 
 I have never seen him till to-night, and whose hand

 I have shaken for the first time — and that is a sign of 
 prosperity to the Literary Fund. That I come here, a 
 man never known except by letters, that I meet Mr. 
 Justice Haliburton, whom I have never heard of except 
 by letters, and hold out to him my hand, which he 
 grasps cordially — I say, that is a sign of prosperity to 
 the Literary Fund. Then I see my friend Hamley, 
 who, a little time ago, was leaping up the heights 
 of Inkerman, thundering over Balaklava, who has 
 written a novel as well as we can write, and who has 
 made one of the best speeches delivered to-night — and 
 that is a sign of prosperity to the Literary Fund. Then I 
 see my old friend Helps yonder, who has made a speech 
 that would do honour to the august assembly which is 
 engaged upon marital difficulties to-night, composed of 
 gentlemen whose rank we respect, but whose autograph 
 we do not look for so much as we do for Helps's, and I 
 say that his being here is a sign of prosperity to the 
 Literary Fund. And I say that the very absence of 
 those men who have been outside engaged with other 
 and benevolent schemes means a sign of prosperity to 
 the Literary Fund, just as a great opposition party 
 in the House of Commons actually invigorates and 
 strengthens the ministerial party. I say that even out- 
 side opposition shows that this Literary Fund is 
 prospering ; that all around there is an immense, a 
 continuous, a kindly, and generous interest for the 
 cause which brings us together. With all my heart, 
 and with all my power, I propose '* Prosperity to the 
 Literary Fund." I think of the kindness which I know 
 you have done ; I think of the poor whom I know you 
 have relieved ; I think of the long moments of doubt
 
 92 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 and struggle in which, thank God, I have never had to 
 come to you, but in which I might have had to come ; 
 and I say that all of us here, and many out of doors, 
 will pray God's blessing upon the work. Every one of 
 you, I am sure, will join me in the toast, ''Prosperity 
 to the Literary Fund." Gentlemen, prosperity to it now 
 and ever.

 The Oxford Election, July, 1857^ 
 
 TO bespeak your praise, being so little 
 known to any of you at this moment, 
 would be idle ; even to say that I possess 
 the power of eloquence — which I wish to 
 Heaven that I had — would be in vain, for I shall break 
 down very likely in a sentence or two, and you will 
 have to moralise on the strange fact that a gentleman 
 who can spin off sentence after sentence in his study 
 is hard put to it to find words when he is on 
 his legs. I go with all my heart and soul for the 
 adoption of the ballot, and I desire with the utmost of 
 my power the extension of the suffrage. I do not say for 
 one moment I mean universal suffrage, because those of 
 ycm who have read the papers have seen how universal 
 suffrage obtains in a neighbouring country. With 
 respect to triennial parliaments, if the people are for it, 
 I am ready to follow the popular behest. I do not see, 
 for my own part, how any great good can arise from 
 them. It does not seem to me that, if a perpetually 
 recurring system of election was practised, it would be 
 conducive of much good. Some time ago I had to say 
 a few words about political matters at a dinner in 
 Edinburgh, to which I was invited, and I got a good

 94 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 deal of ill-will in certain very genteel quarters in 
 London when I returned, because I said at that dinner 
 that those gentlemen with handles to their names, that 
 the members of aristocratic families, had a very great 
 share of public patronage and government, and that, 
 for my part, I heartily desired that men of the people — 
 the working men and educated men of the people — 
 should have a share in the government. I instanced 
 the case of the American minister who was then want- 
 ing — the government appointed a lord ; a Minister of 
 China was then wanting, and the selection lay between 
 a duke and an earl. Great outcries were made against 
 me when I went back, and people said, "Why do you 
 sneer against Duke A., Lord B., and Earl C. ? Why 
 do you speak against men whom you know to be 
 perfectly honourable and capable?" I did not sneer 
 in the least against Lord Elgin, who was appointed 
 ambassador to China, or Lord Napier, the recently 
 appointed American minister, because, at that time, 
 few men more honourable, eloquent, able, or ex- 
 perienced, could be found. What I complained of was 
 that we were obliged to go to the aristocracy when we 
 were in need of officers. There is never any chance 
 for a man of the people to step forward ; there seems 
 a sort of absolute necessity that when Lord Palmerston 
 goes out of office Lord John must come in, and when 
 Lord John jumps out of the boat Lord Palmerston must 
 come in and pull stroke oar again. Are there not 
 prudent, intelligent men whose services the country 
 might profit by, but who have no chance to gratify the 
 legitimate object of their ambition, so that an eternal 
 change of the great aristocratic families seems intended
 
 i857] SPEECHES 95 
 
 to go on for ever? Will it be your will and pleasure 
 that this state of things should continue? If not, intro- 
 duce into the House of Commons men of popular in- 
 telligence — the best men that you can bring into it. 
 The popular influence must be brought to bear on the 
 present Government of the country ; if they flinch, 
 remind them that the people are outside, and want more 
 and more.

 Speech at the Hustings^ at the Oxford Election, 
 July, 1857 
 
 ^ S I came down to this place I saw on each side 
 /^ of me placards announcing that there was 
 / ^ no manner of doubt that on Tuesday the 
 "^^ friends of the Right Hon. Edward Card- 
 well would elect him to a seat in Parliament. I 
 also saw other placards announcing in similar terms a 
 confidence that there was no doubt that I should be 
 elected to a seat in Parliament for the city of Oxford. 
 Now as both sides are perfectly confident of success — 
 as I, for my part, feel perfectly confident, and as my 
 opponents entertain the same favourable opinion in 
 regard to themselves — surely both sides may meet here 
 in perfect good-humour. I hear that not long since — 
 in the memory of many now alive — this independent 
 city was patronised by a great university, and that a 
 great duke, who lived not very far from here, at the time 
 of election used to put on his boots and ride down and 
 order the freemen of Oxford to elect a member for him. 
 Any man who has wandered through your beautiful 
 city as I have done within these last few days cannot 
 but be struck with the difference between the ancient 
 splendour, the academic grandeur, that prevailed in 
 
 ^ From J. C. Hotten, Thackeray. 
 96
 
 i857] SPEECHES 97 
 
 this place — the processions of dons, doctors, and proc- 
 tors — and your new city, which is not picturesque or 
 beautiful at all, but which contains a number of streets, 
 peopled by thousands of hard-working, honest, rough- 
 handed men. These men have grown up of late years, 
 and have asserted their determination to have a repre- 
 sentative of their own. Such a representative they 
 found three months ago, and such a representative they 
 returned to Parliament in the person of my friend Mr. 
 Neate. But such a representative was turned out of 
 that Parliament by a sentence which I cannot call un- 
 just, because he himself is too magnanimous and 
 generous to say so, but which I will call iniquitous. 
 He was found guilty of a twopennyworth of bribery 
 which he never committed ; and a Parliament which 
 has swallowed so many camels strained at that little 
 gnat, and my friend, your representative, the very best 
 man you could find to represent you, was turned back, 
 and you were left without a man. I cannot hope — I 
 never thought to equal him ; I only came forward at a 
 moment when I felt it necessary that some one pro- 
 fessing his principles and possessing your confidence 
 should be ready to step into the gap which he had 
 made. I know that the place was very eagerly sought 
 for by other folks on the other side, entertaining other 
 opinions. Perhaps you don't know that last week there 
 was a Tory baronet down here, walking about in the 
 shade, as umbrageous almost as that under which my 
 opponent, Mr. Cardwell, has sheltered himself. Of 
 course you know there came down a ministerial nomi- 
 nee — Lord Monck ; but you do not know that Mr. 
 Hayter, who is what is called the Whipper-in for the 
 
 II.— H
 
 98 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 Ministerial party, came down here also on Saturday 
 week in a dark and mysterious manner, and that some 
 conversation took place, the nature of which I cannot 
 pretend to know anything about, because I have no 
 spies, however people may be lurking at the doors of 
 our Committee-room. But the result of all was that 
 Lord Monck disappeared, and Mr. Hayter vanished 
 into darkness and became a myth ; and we were in- 
 formed that a powerful requisition from the city of 
 Oxford had invited Mr. Cardwell. Mind, Mr. Cardwell 
 has given no note in reply — no mark, no sign. We do 
 not know, even now, whether he accepted that polite 
 invitation ; we do not know it even to this day, except 
 that his godfathers have been here, and have said so. 
 After the manner in which the electors of Oxford have 
 received me, could I possibly have gone back simply 
 because we are told that Mr. Cardwell had received an 
 invitation, which we did not know whether he had 
 accepted or not? I feel it, therefore, to be my humble 
 duty to stand in the place where I found myself. I do 
 not know that I would have ventured to oppose Mr. 
 Cardwell under other circumstances. I am fully aware 
 of his talents. I know his ability as a statesman, and 
 no man can say that I have, during the whole of my 
 canvass, uttered a word at all unfriendly or disrespect- 
 ful towards that gentleman. I should have hesitated 
 on any other occasion in opposing him, but I cannot 
 hesitate now, because I know that we have the better 
 cause, and that we mean to make that better cause 
 triumphant.
 
 1857] SPEECHES 99 
 
 I say that any man who belongs to the Peelite party 
 is not the man who ought to be put forward by any 
 constituency at the eve of a great and momentous 
 English war. As to my own opinions on public ques- 
 tions, you may have heard them pretty freely expressed 
 on many occasions. I only hope, if you elect me to 
 Parliament, I shall be able to obviate the little difficulty 
 which has been placarded against me — that I could not 
 speak. I own I cannot speak very well, but I shall 
 learn. I cannot spin out glib sentences by the yard, 
 as some people can ; but if I have got anything in my 
 mind, if I feel strongly on any question, I have, I 
 believe, got brains enough to express it. When you 
 send a man to the House of Commons, you do not 
 want him to be always talking ; he goes there to 
 conduct the business of the country ; he has to prepare 
 himself on the question on which he proposes to speak 
 before six hundred and fifty-six members, who would 
 be bored if every man were to deliver his opinion. He 
 must feel and understand what he is going to say ; and 
 I have not the least doubt that I shall be able to say 
 what I feel and think, if you will give me the chance of 
 saying it. If any one in the House of Commons talked 
 all he thought upon everything, good God ! what a 
 Babel it would be ! you would not get on at all. On 
 the first night I came among you, many questions were 
 put to me by a friend, who capped them all by saying, 
 "Now, Mr. Thackeray, are you for the honour of 
 England ? " I said that that was rather a wild and wide 
 question to put, but to the best of my belief I was for 
 the honour of England, and would work for it to the 
 best of my power. About the ballot we are all agreed.
 
 100 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 If I was for the ballot before I came down here, I am 
 more for the ballot now. As to triennial Parliaments, 
 if the constituents desire them, I am for them. (A 
 voice : Would you have the ballot to-morrow ?) No, 
 we are too manly, too plucky, too honest, and we will 
 beat them without it ; but another day, when we have 
 a better representation, we will have the ballot. If you 
 elect me, I shall not go to the House of Commons 
 hostile to the present Ministry, but determined to keep 
 them to their work, and to prevent them from shrinking 
 from any of the promises they have made. I think 
 them, in a war crisis, eminently the best men to carry 
 on the councils of the country, and to contend against 
 the Tories and Peelites, who have very nearly paralysed 
 their arms.

 The Oxford Election, July 21, 1857 
 Speech after the Declaration of the Poll^ 
 
 GIVE me leave to speak a few words to you on 
 this occasion, for although the red, white, 
 and blue are my friends, I hope to make 
 the green and yellow my friends also. 
 Let me tell you a little story, but a true one. Some 
 years ago, when boxing was more common in this 
 country than it is at the present time, two celebrated 
 champions met to fight a battle on Moulsey Heath. 
 Their names were Gully and Gregson. They fought 
 the most tremendous battle that had been known for 
 many long years, and Gregson got the worst of it. 
 As he was lying on his bed some time afterwards, 
 blinded and his eyes shut up, he asked a friend to 
 give him something to drink. A person in the room 
 handed him some drink, and grasped him by the hand. 
 "Whose hand is this?" asked Gregson. " 'Tis Jack 
 Gully's," was the reply. Now Gregson was the man 
 who was beaten, and Gully was the conqueror, and he 
 was the first man to shake him by the hand, to show 
 him that he had no animosity against him. This 
 should be the conduct of all loyal Englishmen, to fight 
 a good fight, and to hold no animosity against the

 lOl

 opposite side. With this feeling I go away from 
 Oxford. With this feeling I shall have redeemed one 
 of the promises I made you yesterday ; the other I 
 cannot by any possibility answer, because, somehow 
 or other, our side has come out a little below the other 
 side. I wish to shake Mr. Cardwell by the hand, and 
 to congratulate him on being the representative of 
 this great city. I say it is a victory you ought to be 
 proud of ; it is a battle which you ought to be proud 
 of who have taken part in it ; you have done your duty 
 nobly and fought most gallantly. I am a man who 
 was unknown to most of you, who only came before 
 you with the recommendation of my noble and ex- 
 cellent friend Mr. Neate, but I have met with many 
 friends. You have fought the battle gallantly against 
 great influences, against an immense strength, which 
 have been brought against you, and in favour of that 
 honoured and respected man Mr. Cardwell. Stop ! 
 don't hiss. When Lord Monck came down here and 
 addressed the electors, he was good enough to say a 
 kind word in favour of me. Now, that being the case, 
 don't let me be outdone in courtesy and generosity, 
 but allow me to say a few words of the respect and 
 cordiality which I entertain for Mr. Cardwell. As for 
 the party battle which divides you, I am, gentlemen, 
 a stranger, for I never heard the name of certain 
 tradesmen of this city till I came among you. Per- 
 haps I thought my name was better known than it is. 
 You, the electors of Oxford, know whether I have 
 acted honestly towards you ; and you on the other side 
 will say whether I ever solicited a vote when I knew 
 that vote was promised to my opponent ; or whether 
 
 i
 
 1857] SPEECHES 103 
 
 I have not always said, ** Sir, keep your word ; here is 
 my hand on it: let us part good friends." With my 
 opponents I part so. With others, my friends, I part 
 with feelings still more friendly, not only for the 
 fidelity you have shown towards me, but for your 
 noble attachment to the gallant and tried whom you 
 did know, and who I hope will be your representative 
 at some future time. Don't cry out bribery : if you 
 know of it, prove it ; but as I am innocent of bribery 
 myself, I do not choose to fancy that other men 
 are not equally loyal and honest. It matters very 
 little whether I am in the House of Commons or not, 
 to prate a little more ; but you have shown a great 
 spirit, a great resolution, and great independence ; 
 and I trust at some future day, when you know me 
 better than you do now, you will be able to carry your 
 cause to a more successful issue. Before I came to 
 Oxford, I knew that there was a certain question that 
 would go against me, and which I would not blink to 
 be made a duke or a marquis to-morrow. In March 
 last, when I was at dinner at Edinburgh, some friends 
 of mine asked me to stand for the representation of 
 their city. My answer was this: "That I was for 
 having the people amused after they had done their 
 worship on a Sunday." I knew that I was speaking 
 to a people who, of all others, were the most open 
 to scruples on that point, but I did my duty as an 
 honest man, and stated what my opinion was. I have 
 done my duty honestly to this city. And I believe 
 that this is the reason why I am placed in a minority ; 
 but I am contented to bow to that decision. I told 
 you that I was for allowing a man to have harmless
 
 104 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 pleasures when he had done his worship on Sundays. 
 I expected to have a hiss, but they have taken a more 
 dangerous shape — the shape of slander. Those gentle- 
 men who will take the trouble to read my books — and 
 I should be glad to have as many of you for sub- 
 scribers as will come forward — will be able to say 
 whether there is anything in them that should not be 
 read by any one's children, or by my own, or by any 
 Christian man. I say, on this ground I will retire, 
 and take my place with my pen and ink at my desk, 
 and leave to Mr. Cardwell a business which I am sure 
 he understands better than I do. 
 
 [Another report^ gives the following extract : — ] 
 I am desirous that the people who work hard all the 
 week should have the means of relaxation, amusement 
 and instruction upon their only day of rest. I would 
 to this end open picture galleries, museums, scientific 
 collections, and such places as the Crystal Palace near 
 London, where are to be found gardens and flowers, 
 statues and pictures, and objects the most harmless 
 and beautiful. I believe the labouring man would 
 enjoy these sights in company with his family, and 
 that the enjoyment of them would keep him from in- 
 toxication, not lead him into it, as opponents of my 
 view fear. Those who have seen our great cities know 
 how the Sunday is often passed, and whether drunken- 
 ness is prevented by the present legislation. Should 
 the opening of such a place as the Crystal Palace be 
 found to occasion drinking and disorder, which I dis- 
 believe, surely a stop may be put to the sale of intoxi-

 eating liquors in the place on a Sunday. I never 
 spoke or thought of opening theatres on Sunday. I 
 would try to multiply the means of procuring peace 
 and harmless pleasure for the people on that day, and 
 know that in many theatrical pieces there are jests, and 
 allusions, and situations ill-fitted indeed to any, but 
 especially to the sacred day. I would consent to and 
 encourage good band-music, which has been played 
 before our sovereigns for a hundred years past ; but 
 would object to songs, for the same reason that 
 renders me averse to plays — because songs may be 
 made vehicles for jokes and buffoonery, which, on 
 such a day, might justly shock the sense of religious 
 persons. And I believe the relaxation of the present 
 system would make many people friendly to the clergy, 
 whom they now suppose to be hostile to their honest 
 pleasures ; would be a means of happiness and union 
 among the families of the poor ; and ought not to 
 offend the feelings of any Christian man.

 The Commercial Travellers' Dinner, 1857 ^ 
 
 I FEEL it needful for me to be particularly cautious 
 whenever I come to any meeting in the City which 
 has to do with money and monetary affairs. It is 
 seldom that I appear at all in these regions, 
 unless, indeed, it be occasionally to pay a pleasing visit 
 to Messrs. Bradbury and Evans in Bouverie Street, or 
 to Messrs. Smith and Co., of Cornhill. But I read my 
 paper like every good Briton, and from that I gather 
 a lesson of profound caution in speaking to mercantile 
 men on subjects of this kind. Supposing, for instance, 
 that I have shares in the Bundelcund Banking Company 
 or in the Royal British Diddlesex Bank ! I come down 
 to a meeting of the shareholders, and hear an honoured 
 treasurer and an admirable president making the most 
 flourishing reports of the state of our concern, showing 
 to us enormous dividends, accompanied with the most 
 elegant bonuses, and proving to us that our funds are 
 invested in the most secure way at Bogleywallak 
 Bundelcund and Branksea Castle — go away delighted 
 at the happy prospect before my wife and family, feel- 
 ing perfect confidence that those innocent beings will 
 be comfortable for the rest of their lives. What, then, 
 is my horror when in one brief fortnight after, instead

 1857] SPEECHES 107 
 
 of those enormous dividends and elegant bonuses, I 
 am served with a notice to pay up a most prodigious 
 sum ; when I find that our estates at Bundelcund Bogley- 
 vvallak have been ravaged by the Bengal tiger ; that 
 the island of Branksea is under water ; that our re- 
 spected president is obliged to go to Spain for the 
 benefit of his health, and our elegant treasurer cannot 
 abide the London fog. You see I must be a little 
 careful. But, granted that the accounts we have here 
 have not, like our dinner, been subjected to an in- 
 genious culinary process ; granted that you have spent, 
 as I read in your report, ;i^25,ooo in raising a noble 
 school and grounds ; that you have collected around 
 you the happy juvenile faces which I see smiling on 
 yonder benches to be the objects of your Christian 
 kindness ; granting all this to be true, then, gentlemen, 
 I am your most humble servant, and no words that I 
 can find can express my enthusiastic admiration for 
 what you have done. I sincerely wish, on behalf of 
 my own class, the literary profession, that we could 
 boast of anything as good. I wish that we had an 
 institution to which we could confide our children, 
 instead of having to send them about to schools as we 
 do, at an awful risk. When the respected Mr. Squeers, 
 of Do-the-boys Hall, announces that he proposes to take 
 a limited number of pupils — I should rather say a number 
 of very limited pupils — it is not because he is in love 
 with the little darlings that he does it, but because he 
 deigns to extract a profit out of them. It always pains 
 me to think of the profits to be screwed out of the 
 bellies of the little innocents. Why have we not, as 
 men of letters, some such association as that which
 
 io8 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 you have got up ? I appeal to my literary brethren, if 
 any of them are present, whether we, the men of the 
 pen, cannot emulate the men of the road? A while 
 ago, a friend engaged in my own profession, making 
 his ;^iooo a year, showed me his half-yearly account of 
 his two little boys at school. These little heroes of 
 six and seven, who are at an excellent school, where 
 they are well provided for, came home with a little bill 
 in their pocket which amounted to the sum of £']S for 
 the half-year. Now think of this poor paterfamilias, 
 earning his moderate i^iooo a year, out of which he has 
 his life-assurance, his income-tax, and his house-rent 
 to pay, with three or four poor relations to support — 
 for doubtless we are all blessed with those appendages 
 — with the heavy bills of his wife and daughters for 
 millinery and mantua-making to meet, especially at 
 their present enormous makes and sizes — think of this 
 overburdened man having to pay ^^75 for one half- 
 year's schooling for his little boys ! Let the gentlemen 
 of the press, then, try to devise some scheme which 
 shall benefit them, as you have undoubtedly benefited 
 by what you have accomplished for yourselves. We 
 are all travellers and voyagers who must embark on 
 life's ocean ; and before you send your boys to sea, you 
 teach them to swim, to navigate the ship, and guide 
 her into port. The last time I visited America two 
 years ago, I sailed on board the Africa^ Captain 
 Harrison. As she was steaming out of Liverpool one 
 fine blowy October day, and was hardly over the bar, 
 when, animated by those peculiar sensations not un- 
 common to landsmen at the commencement of a sea- 
 voyage, I was holding on amidship, up comes a
 
 i8s7] SPEECHES 109 
 
 quick-eyed, shrewd-looking little man, who holds on 
 to the next rope to me, and says, ''Mr. Thackeray, 
 I am the representative of the house of Appleton 
 and Co., of Broadway, New York — a most liberal and 
 enterprising firm, who will be most happy to do busi- 
 ness with you." I don't know that we then did any 
 business in the line thus delicately hinted at, because 
 at that particular juncture we were both of us called, 
 by a heavy lurch of the ship, to a casting up of accounts 
 of a far less agreeable character.

 Speech at the Royal Theatrical Fund Dinner, 1858^ 
 
 GENTLEMEN, having seldom — only once 
 before in my life — been called upon to fill 
 such a chair as this, and not possessing 
 that happy genius and skill for the post 
 which belongs to a friend of mine that I think 
 sits not very far from me, I thought I would make 
 up by previous assiduity and deep study for the 
 want of elocutionary power, which I must confess to, 
 and therefore determined upon going through a long 
 course of reading with regard to the drama from the 
 very beginning, proposing to favour you with a lecture 
 of two or three hours, beginning with the very com- 
 mencement and continuing to the Chinese drama, the 
 Turkish drama, the Indian drama, and so forth. 
 The commencement of the drama. Gentlemen, as I 
 find, was about 570 or 580 years before our era. It 
 happened at the time when one of the celebrated seven 
 sages of Greece flourished, Solon — a superior, a sage, 
 an utterer of sayings, a person of very great eminence 
 of his time, and I have introduced him to you because 
 I wish you to admire my own assiduity and great learn- 
 ing with regard to ancient times, and also because I

 thought myself that I would enjoy a little puzzle which 
 I am sure many ingenious minds here present must feel 
 at this moment while thinking to themselves, what on 
 earth has the sage Solon to do with the toast of the 
 evening ? You shall now be illuminated upon this point. 
 The sage Solon being, then, one of the greatest person- 
 ages in Athens, was pleased to command a dramatic 
 representation from Thespis, who was the founder of 
 tragedy, who was the discoverer of tragedy, who went 
 about with a stage waggon, upon which he made his 
 various visits. 
 
 Having witnessed his performance, the great Solon 
 sent for Thespis — the great Solon had a large stick 
 in his hand at the time. Thespis came up, and he 
 said to this poor wandering manager, " Sir, how dare 
 you utter such a parcel of nonsense and lies before any 
 public assembly?" The manager meekly remonstrated 
 with him, and represented to him that harmless inter- 
 ludes and songs were not intended to be absolute 
 matters of fact, but were merely intended to amuse 
 and enliven the people around ; upon which the great 
 Solon thumped upon the ground with his great stick, 
 and said to him — "Sir, begone; the man who would 
 tell such fibs from the stage would not hesitate to forge 
 a bill of exchange." That anecdote is narrated in the 
 life of Solon by Plutarch, and I give you my word of 
 honour that I never read a single word of the Life, and 
 I never purpose to read it after that specimen of the 
 great Solon's sense and humour. 780 — I think I said 
 just now 580. We have now arrived at 1858. Add 
 these up together. What number of years have 
 passed away ! the great Solon is called to his rest,
 
 112 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 and poor Thespis goes no longer on his circuit. Every 
 actor here present, and I am sure every gentleman who 
 sits before the curtain, is aware how dramatic characters 
 are represented over and over and over again ; and 
 so, although Solon is dead long ago, he is perfectly 
 alive ; and although Thespis has passed to his fathers, 
 his successors are still amongst us. Suppose when 
 your treasurer was making that affecting journey of 
 which he told us in one of those speeches upon one 
 of these occasions — when he was travelling his sixty 
 miles' journey with a friend of his with fourpence- 
 halfpenny in his pocket, with a draught of skim milk 
 for his breakfast, with leaky pumps, and a painted calico 
 waistcoat, and a brave heart underneath it — suppose 
 Solon had overtaken him, driving in his family barouche 
 with the young ladies by his side ! Solon, I fear, would 
 have had a light opinion of Thespis ; he would have 
 surveyed that waistcoat with great dubiousness ; he 
 would have thought how much superior was he, the 
 great magistrate, to these poor wandering managers 
 treading manfully upon life's great road. Solon is rife 
 amongst us now. There was a Solon of whom I read 
 not long since, who, speaking even of my professional 
 avocation, said, '' I don't read novels ; I have read one, 
 but I don't like them, because they are not true." That 
 is worthy of Solon. Solon will be a pompous humbug. 
 We thank heaven that he is better than the poor wan- 
 dering actor and the poor manager, and though he 
 laughs and makes sport for us, you must recollect that 
 Solon has not got an ear for music or a heart for 
 humour. Let us give him this charitable surmise, and 
 rejoice that it is his dulness which acts against us, and
 
 1858] SPEECHES 113 
 
 give him no more unfavourable feeling. But because 
 Solon is wise — because Solon is so wise — because Solon 
 is so good — because Solon is so virtuous — is that any 
 reason that there should be no more cakes and ale? 
 
 Now, Gentlemen, in spite of him, and in spite of his 
 virtue, and in spite of his squeamishness, all youth, all 
 life, all humour, laugh in his face and say, "We will 
 have our sport ; Harlequin shall put his arm round 
 Columbine's waist, and dance that delightful dance ; 
 Clown shall prig the sausages, and bear false witness 
 against Pantaloon ; Hamlet shall kill his wicked old 
 uncle the King ; we will have our tears, we will have 
 our pleasure, we will have our laughter, we will have 
 our sympathies, we will have our kindly amusements, 
 and we will have our generous feelings, in spite of 
 all the Solons in the world, although we have bran- 
 dished against us a stick as thick as a beadle's." 
 
 And I trust that when Solon comes to look at the 
 scheme and accounts rendered of a society like this — 
 when he sees how prudent you are disposed to become — 
 how thrifty, how generous, how charitable, he will begin 
 to have a very much greater respect for Thespis in his 
 leaky pumps and cotton waistcoat than he was disposed 
 to have when he met him trudging early upon the road. 
 Let him think of this society and of its prosperity, and 
 how proud all the members of it ought to be. 
 
 She is but twenty years old ; she has saved ;i{^io,ooo, 
 which is now in the bank ; she has during that time 
 expended many hundreds ; she has helped the needy ; 
 she has taken charge of the sick ; she has relieved the 
 orphan; she has taken to their last homes, and provided 
 the last homes for the friendless poor; and she has done 
 II.— I
 
 114 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 incalculably more than that, because she has enabled 
 men and women who have never come to the society at 
 all to think that if the utmost necessity came there was 
 such a society to which they should apply, though, 
 thank heaven, their own powers and better fortune have 
 not yet called upon them to apply to it. 
 
 It is always a great consolation to the subscribers to 
 such a society as this to know that there is a bank upon 
 which they can draw as of right and without shame, 
 and I hope we shall hear that this society will 
 increase daily — that this means of usefulness will be 
 known throughout the whole of the dramatic profes- 
 sion, and that we shall have a larger subscription, not 
 merely round the table, but I mean from members of the 
 Society, every day, as they recognise this admirable 
 usefulness and efficiency. As for the profession and 
 the gentlemen here present, I know that there is no 
 need of recommending the society to them — they are 
 aware how excellent it is — they have seen its workings, 
 and they will advocate it to the utmost of their power 
 amongst their brethren. As for us, we must always 
 have the most friendly regard for the stage, we who 
 owe to it such a multitude of happy hours — we who 
 have found in our youth our great delight in it. 
 
 Now, not merely by applause by drinking healths 
 and so forth, but I do heartily trust that all of us will 
 mark our sense of the utility of this institution by 
 giving stout subscriptions as far as our means will 
 admit towards its support. 
 
 I now propose that we do most cordially drink 
 '* Health and Prosperity to the Royal General Theat- 
 rical Fund,"

 Royal Academy Dinner, May, 1858^ 
 
 MY Lords, Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen, — 
 Permit me to say that had it not been 
 for the direct act of my friend who has 
 just sat down, I should most likely never 
 have been included in the toast which you have 
 been pleased to drink ; and I should have tried 
 to be, not a writer, but a painter, or designer of 
 pictures. That was the object of my early ambition, 
 and I can remember when Mr. Dickens was a very 
 young man, and had commenced delighting the world 
 with some charming humorous works, of which I 
 cannot mention the name, but which were coloured 
 light green, and came out once a month, this young 
 man wanted an artist to illustrate his writings, and I 
 recollect walking up to his chambers in Furnival's Inn 
 with two or three drawings in my hand, which strange 
 to say, he did not find suitable. But for that unfor- 
 tunate blight which came over my artistical existence, 
 it would have been my pride and my pleasure to have 
 endeavoured one day to find a place on these walls for 
 one of my performances. This disappointment caused 
 me to direct my attention to a different walk of art, 
 and now I can only hope to be ^' translated " on these

 walls, as I have been, thanks to my talented friend Mr. 
 Egg. I shall, however, ever think with pride and 
 pleasure of my name having been mentioned from that 
 chair, always connecting it with the person who first 
 sat in it. You, Sir, know whence he came, and we, 
 gentlemen, are all aware that the knight of Plymouth 
 has not left the knight of Plympton behind him. Sir 
 Joshua Reynolds was one of the most delightful of 
 men, and to have been well spoken of from his chair is 
 one of the greatest gratifications I could experience. 
 The men of my profession have long been connected 
 with painters. I myself have had the happiness to num- 
 ber several among the dearest friends of my life. You 
 yourself. Sir, have mentioned that Goldsmith always 
 attended these anniversaries ; and I understand that 
 Johnson too was present in the very last year of his 
 life. Despite the shortness of his breath, he delighted 
 to walk up the stairs of the Royal Academy, and sit 
 at the feast of the good Sir Joshua. And we who 
 have no asthma, nor any long steps to get up, shall 
 always be happy to receive your welcome and par- 
 take of your hospitality.

 RovAL Literary Fund Dinner, June 22, 1859 ^ 
 
 SIR, in his natural wish to be agreeable to me, 
 my friend at my right hand asked me, if 
 there was any point which he, with his skilled 
 eloquence, could urge upon the Society which 
 might be pleasing to them and to me, who must 
 be the object of his speech. I said to him (and 
 he will bear witness to the truth of what I have said) 
 that the most pleasing thing to me would be for him to 
 say that 1 had known him twenty-five years ; that we 
 have been good friends all the time ; that our fortunes 
 have gone on from college up to the present time, and 
 here at last we are, post tot naufragia, kind friends and 
 good allies. I have no claim to appear before you as 
 a representative of Letters at all, except on this account, 
 that for nearly a quarter of a century I have been 
 a struggling literary man of no other profession than 
 that, getting on as best I could, and arriving here, 
 hearing kind voices around me, especially that of my 
 friend, pointing me out to your good notice. I was 
 glad to come forward as, I may say, a veteran of twenty-

 five years' standing in my literary profession, to appear 
 here as an old soldier among you, and to bear testimony 
 to the excellence of this Society, and the countless 
 benefits which I believe it has conferred. I know it 
 from what I have read in its books — I know it from 
 what I have heard from my friends ; and I am person- 
 ally grateful for my own part, because I have had, on 
 various occasions, to recommend cases to this Society, 
 and I have found that they have been always listened 
 to with the most delicate sympathy — that they have 
 been constantly relieved in the most admirable way. 
 I am, therefore, glad at this moment especially, to give 
 my humble testimony, and to add (as soon as Mr. Bell 
 will give me the paper) my humble subscription towards 
 the benevolent objects which have collected us together. 
 I say this the more, sir, because I have read outside of 
 this place (which you possibly may not, sir) special 
 injunctions to yourself to think about the matter. 
 There appears to have sprung up a singular hostility 
 against the most benevolent, the most kindly, the most 
 harmless Society that I have ever heard of. I read, and 
 I took it down, in order that there might be no mistake, 
 a paragraph that was printed only last Saturday, which 
 was an appeal to the Chairman here ; and it contains 
 this remark — '' I wonder whether Mr. Gladstone in his 
 speech will touch on the trouble which gives the 
 Literary Fund the nickname of ' The Rupture Society.'" 
 In another paper a remark was made respecting a cer- 
 tain legacy of books, which some gentleman (whose 
 death I hope is far off) proposed to leave to this Society, 
 at the termination of his and another life — these lives 
 having lasted at present forty-five years of our time.
 
 1859] SPEECHES 119 
 
 because there was a sort of demur on the part of that 
 Society to receive those books (not to refuse) but simply 
 saying, " We will wait and submit the matter to a 
 general meeting." The writer said, "This is flinging 
 pearls before swine." The pearls, of course, meaning 
 the books ; and the swine meaning the present honour- 
 able company. Now surely it is a little hard, is it not, 
 for a kind, harmless, generous Society, always holding 
 out the hand of benefaction, uttering no unkind word, 
 scarcely even attempting to defend itself, never attack- 
 ing, but being ever ready, — as Mr. Blewitt will be, — 
 however poor a man may be, however abusive he may 
 have been in former times, being always ready, I say, 
 with the money at the proper time — it is a little hard, 
 that the practitioners of the press should use language 
 like that I have been alluding to. Now, have any of 
 you, in the course of your experience in the varied 
 societies in which you move — have you ever heard 
 this Society generally called by the name of "The 
 Rupture Society"? I confess, until I saw the elegant 
 phrase in a paper which I read with great assiduity, 
 and which is illuminated by the most beautiful draw- 
 ings, I never heard of it ; and I cannot conceive whether 
 it was owing to the elegant sphere in which the author 
 moves, or whether it was of his own natural wit and 
 genius that he should have lighted upon this phrase 
 which I now introduce. As to the other expression, 
 just see what it amounts to. You who have done no 
 earthly harm, and only mean kindness, who only mean 
 to do good as far as ever you can — you are told that in 
 demurring to accept a certain proposal that is made to 
 you, you are acting utterly wrong, and that the benefi-
 
 120 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 cent donors are merely casting ''pearls before swine." 
 Now pearls are very bad food for pigs, and for men too. 
 If we at this dinner had had put before us books in the 
 most elegant bindings, however much we might relish 
 those books and devour them in our own rooms, I 
 imagine we should be very little satisfied with our 
 dinner. And so I believe with regard to this Society, 
 that the making us a present of books, at least at 
 this present moment, is not to be spoken of at 
 all. We do not want books so far as I fancy. We 
 want beef, we want bread, we want fires for the children 
 to sit by, and help for the poor and distressed. As for 
 books, every literary man, however seedy his coat may 
 be, however narrow his means, every decent literary 
 man has the power of applying to the finest library 
 in the whole world, where under the care of my friend, 
 Mr. Panizzi, he may sit under the noblest dome in the 
 whole world, and feast on such a refection of books as 
 never could be got together in a private society, and 
 within forty or fifty yards of the very building we 
 occupy. Gentlemen, I do not know for what earthly 
 reason people are perpetually throwing mud at all. It 
 was not as a literary man, not merely as a writer of ■ 
 novels, that I came here, but as a supporter, as an 
 admirer, and a cordial friend to this Society.

 THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF 
 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
 
 THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF 
 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 SEVERAL Bibliographies of Thackeray have 
 been published during the last eight-and- 
 twenty years. The first to appear, in 1880, was 
 by Mr. Richard Heme Shepherd, and this, with 
 many additions, was reprinted six years later at the end 
 of Sultan Stork, and other Papers, by W. M. Thackeray. 
 In 1888 was issued, by Mr. Charles Plumptre Johnson, 
 a brochure on The Earlier Writings of William Make- 
 peace Thackeray, which contained much valuable in- 
 formation ; in 1891 was published a Bibliography by 
 Mr. John P. Anderson, of the British Museum, ap- 
 pended to a monograph on Thackeray written by Mr. 
 Herman Merivale and Mr. (now Sir Frank T.) Marzials ; 
 and in 1899 appeared, almost simultaneously, a Biblio- 
 graphy of First Editions by Mr. W. J. Williams (in 
 Vol. XI n of the Biographical Edition of Thackeray's 
 Works), and a general Bibliography in the Appendix 
 to my Life of William Makepeace Thackeray. 
 
 Subsequent to the publication of these works have 
 been printed Mr. M. H. Spielmann's volume, Thack- 
 eray* s Hitherto Unidentified Co7itribiitions to ''^ Punch'* 
 (1899), and Mr. F. S. Dickson's Bibliography of 
 Thackeray in the United States (in Vol. II of Thackeray 
 in the United States, by General J. G. Wilson) ; while

 146 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 many articles and drawings recently discovered have 
 been inserted in Macmillan's edition of Thackeray's 
 Works, edited by me from the eighth volume (1904-7); 
 The New Sketch Book, edited by Mr. R. S. Garnett 
 (1906) ; The Oxford Thackeray, edited by Professor 
 Saintsbury (1908), etc. 
 
 The items discovered since the appearance of my 
 Bibliography ten years ago run into hundreds, 
 and, besides, publications then believed to be first 
 editions have, mainly owing to the investigation of 
 Mr. Dickson, been shown to have been issued pre- 
 viously in America. I have thought it better, therefore, 
 not to attempt to revise and enlarge the Bibliography 
 of 1899, but to start afresh and compile an entirely 
 new list, for which I may certainly claim, that it is the 
 most complete yet issued. Every care has been taken 
 to check the entries, but in so large a number it is more 
 than probable that errors have crept in ; and, with a 
 view to correction in another edition, I shall be greatly 
 obliged to those who will trouble to send me informa- 
 tion of mistakes or omissions. I take this opportunity 
 to acknowledge my indebtedness to all previous writers 
 on the subject, and to express my gratitude to those 
 who have given me assistance during the progress of 
 this task : to Mr. M. H. Spielmann, Mr. Walter

 BIBLIOGRAPHY 147 
 
 27 New Oxford Street, London, for having kindly sup- 
 plied me with full particulars (printed in the following 
 pages) of the Miscellanies, published in parts during 
 1855-7. To Mr, Frederick S. Dickson I am especially 
 indebted, not only for the interest he has shown in my 
 labours, but also for his generous aid extending over 
 the three years I have been engaged on the compilation 
 of the Bibliography. 
 
 I have adopted the simple method of inserting in 
 chronological order all Thackeray's writings and draw- 
 ings, as well as all the editions of his books until the 
 year 1867, when the first collected edition of his works 
 appeared. When an item has been reprinted in a 
 magazine, etc., before being inserted in a volume of 
 Thackeray's works, this is mentioned in the entry 
 referring to its original appearance. From the year 
 1867, while, of course, noting everything published for 
 the first time, I have entered only those volumes that 
 contain writings or drawings included in book-form 
 for the first time, and those which contain such a 
 distinctive feature as an Introduction or new Illustra- 
 tions. 
 
 I have made no attempt to discover for the purposes 
 of this Bibliography "possible" articles in papers 
 to which Thackeray was known to contribute, Galig- 
 Hani's Messenger, the Examiner, the Morning Chronicle, 
 etc. ; but there are inserted, printed in italics, certain 
 articles in Eraser's Magazine and elsewhere that may 
 have been written by him. 
 
 With the object of saving space and avoiding confu- 
 sion, I have, rather than describe an article as accom- 
 panied by, say, "two pictorial Initial Letters and three
 
 148 WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY 
 
 Illustrations," counted Initial Letters as Illustra- 
 tions, and entered such an item as having '* Five Illus- 
 trations." 
 
 All changes of title have been carefully observed, 
 and cross-references are given in the text, in the item 
 where the change occurs, and also in the Index. 
 
 The few works and volumes of magazines that have 
 
 not passed through my hands are indicated by an 
 
 asterisk.

 THE WORKS OF 
 ANATOLE FRANCE 
 
 T has long been a reproach to 
 England that only one volume 
 by ANATOLE FRANCE 
 has been adequately rendered 
 into English j yet outside this 
 "' country he shares with 
 
 Pj TOLSTOI the distinction 
 
 of being the greatest and most daring 
 student of humanity now living. 
 
 f There have been many difficulties to 
 encounter in completing arrangements for a 
 uniform edition, though perhaps the chief bar- 
 rier to publication here has been the fact that 
 his writings are not for babes — but for men 
 and the mothers of men. Indeed, some of his 
 Eastern romances are written with biblical can- 
 dour. "I have sought truth strenuously," he 
 tells us, " I have met her boldly. I have never 
 turned from her even when she wore an
 
 THE WORKS OF ANATOLE FRANCE 
 
 unexpected aspect." Still, it is believed that the day has 
 come for giving English versions of all his imaginative 
 works, as well as of his monumental study JOAN OF 
 ARC, which is undoubtedly the most discussed book in the 
 world of letters to-day. 
 
 ^ MR. JOHN LANE has pleasure in announcing that 
 he will commence publication of the works of M. 
 ANATOLE FRANCE in English, under the general 
 editorship of MR. FREDERIC CHAPMAN, with the 
 following volumes : 
 
 THE RED LILY 
 
 MOTHER OF PEARL 
 
 THE GARDEN OF EPICURUS 
 
 THE CRIME OF SYLVESTRE BONNARD 
 
 JOCASTA AND THE FAMISHED CAT 
 
 BALTHASAR 
 
 THE WELL OF ST. CLARE 
 
 THE ELM TREE ON THE MALL 
 
 THE WICKER-WORK WOMAN 
 
 AT THE SIGN OF THE QUEEN PEDAUQUE 
 
 THE OPINIONS OF JEROME COIGNARD 
 
 MY FRIEND'S BOOK 
 
 THE ASPIRATIONS OF JEAN SERVIEN 
 
 THAIS 
 
 JOAN OF ARC (2 vols.) 
 
 ^ All the books will be published at 6/- each with the 
 exception of JOAN OF ARC, which will be 25/- net 
 the two volumes, with eight Illustrations. 
 
 H The format of the volumes leaves little to be desired. 
 The size is Demy 8vo (9 x 5| in.), that of this Prospectus, and 
 they will be printed from Caslon type upon a paper light in 
 weight and strong in texture, with a cover design in crimson 
 and gold, a gilt top, end-papers from designs by Aubrey 
 Beardsley and initials by Henry Ospovat. In short, these are 
 volumes for the bibliophile as well as the lover of fiction, 
 and form perhaps the cheapest library edition of copyright 
 novels ever published, for the price is only that of an 
 ordinary novel. 
 
 f The translation of these books has been entrusted to such 
 competent French scholars as mr. Alfred allinson, hon. 
 
 MAURICE BARING, MR. FREDERIC CHAPMAN, MR. ROBERT B.
 
 THE WORKS OF ANATOLE FRANCE 
 
 DOUGLAS, MR. A. W. EVANS, MRS. FARLEY, MR. LAFCADIO 
 HEARN,. MRS. JOHN LANE, MRS NEWMARCH, MR. C. E. ROCHE, 
 MISS WINIFRED STEPHENS, and MISS M. P. WILLCOCKS. 
 
 ^ As Anatole Thibault, dit Anatole France, is to most 
 English readers merely a name, it will be well to state that 
 he was born in 1844 in the picturesque and inspiring 
 surroundings of an old bookshop on the Quai Voltaire, 
 Paris, kept by his father. Monsieur Thibault, an authority on 
 eighteenth-century history, from whom the boy caught the 
 passion for the principles of the Revolution, while from his 
 mother he was learning to love the ascetic ideals chronicled 
 in the Lives of the Saints. He was schooled with the lovers 
 of old books, missals and manuscripts ; he matriculated on 
 theQuais with the old Jewish dealers of curios and objets cTart ; 
 he graduated in the great university of life and experience. 
 It will be recognised that all his work is permeated by his 
 youthful impressions ; he is, in fact, a virtuoso at large. 
 
 II He has written about thirty volumes of fiction. His 
 first novel was JOCASTA iff THE FAMISHED CAT 
 (1879). THE CRIME OF SYLVESTRE BONNARD 
 appeared in 1881, and had the distinction of being crowned 
 by the French Academy, into which he was received in 1896, 
 
 ^ His work is illuminated with style, scholarship, and 
 psychology ; but its outstanding features are the lambent wit, 
 the gay mockery, the genial irony with which he touches every 
 subject he treats. But the wit is never malicious, the mockery 
 never derisive, the irony never barbed. To quote from his own 
 GARDEN OF EPICURUS : " Irony and Pity are both of 
 good counsel ; the first with her smiles makes life agreeable, 
 the other sanctifies it to us with her tears. The Irony I 
 invoke is no cruel deity. She mocks neither love nor 
 beauty. She is gentle and kindly disposed. Her mirth 
 disarms anger and it is she teaches us to laugh at rogues and 
 fools whom but for her we might be so weak as to hate." 
 
 If Often he shows how divine humanity triumphs ovei 
 mere aceticism, and with entire reverence ; indeed, he 
 might be described as an ascetic overflowing with humanity, 
 just as he has been termed a "pagan, but a pagan 
 constantly haunted by the pre-occupation of Christ." 
 He is ip turn — like his own Choulette in THE RED 
 LILY — saintly and Rabelaisian, yet without incongruity.
 
 THE WORKS OF ANATOLE FRANCE 
 
 At all times he is the unrelenting foe of superstition and 
 hypocrisy. Of himself he once modestly said : " You will find 
 in my writings perfect sincerity (lying demands a talent I do 
 not possess), much indulgence, and some natural affection for 
 the beautiful and good." 
 
 H The mere extent of an author's popularity is perhaps a 
 poor argument, yet it is significant that two books by this 
 author are in their HUNDRED AND TENTH THOU- 
 SAND,and numbers of themwell into their SEVENTIETH 
 THOUSAND, whilst the one which a Frenchman recently 
 described as " Monsieur France's most arid book " is in its 
 FIFTY-EIGHTH THOUSAND. 
 
 f Inasmuch as M. FRANCE'S ONLY contribution to 
 an English periodical appeared in THE YELLOW BOOK, 
 vol. v., April 1895, together with the first important English 
 appreciation of his work from the pen of the Hon. Maurice 
 Baring, it is peculiarly appropriate that the English edition 
 of his works should be issued from the Bodley Head.

 hundreds of thousands of playgoers, and both editor and publisher 
 think it reasonable to assume that a considerable number of these 
 would like to know so-mething about actors, actresses, and 
 dramatists, whose work they nightly applaud. Each volume

 paper are concerned will he a notable book. Great care has been

 Sir Martin Conway's Note. 
 Nearly half a century has passed since Mr. IV. H. James IVcale, then resident at 
 Bruges, began that long se}-ies of patient investigations into the history of Netherlandish 
 art which was destined to earn so rich a hardest. IVhen he began work Metnlinc was 
 still called Hem ling, and was fabled to have arrived at Bruges as a wounded soldier. 
 The van Eycks were little more than legendary heroes. Roger Van der Weyden was little 
 more than a name. Most of the other great Netherlandish artists were cither wholly 
 ''brgotten or named only in connection with paintings ivith ivhich they had nothing to do. 
 Mr. IVeale discovered Gerard David, and disentangled his principal works /rom Mem- 
 line's, with which they were then confused.

 *»* No complete Life of Vincenzo Foppa has ever been written : an otnission "which 
 seems almost inexplicable in these days of over-production in the inatter of bio- 
 graphies of painters, and of subjects relating to the art of Italy. The object of the 
 autliors of this book has been to present a true picture of the master s life based 
 ■upon the testimony of records in Italian archives. The authors have unearthed a large 
 amount of neiu material relating to Foppa, one of the most interesting facts brought to 
 light being that he lived for twenty-three years longer than was formerly supposed. The 
 illustrations will include several pictures by Foppa hitherto unknoiun in the history of art.

 chief authority upon the Duchy of Urbino font the beginning of the fifteenth century. 
 Mr. Hutton has carefully edited the whole work, leaving the text substantially ilie same, 
 but adding a large number of new notes, comments and refer ences. Wherever possible 
 the reader is directed to original sources. Every sort of work has been laid under 
 contribution to illustrate the text, and bibliographies have been supplied on many subjects. 
 Besides these notes the book acquires a new value on account of the mass of illustrations 
 which it now contains, thus adding a pictorial comment to an historical and critical one.

 Jean Finot. A Translation by Harry Roberts. Demy 8vo. 
 (9x5! inches), jj-. dd. net. 
 
 *»* This is a translation of a book which has attained to tlie position of a classic. It 
 has already been translated into almost every language, and has, in France, gone into four- 
 teen editions in the course of a few years. The book is an exhaustive one, and although 
 based on science and philosophy it is in no sense abstruse or remote from general ititerest. 
 It deals with life as embodied not only in inati and in the animal a7id vegetable worlds , but 
 in all tliat great world of (as the author holds) inisjiamed " inanimate " nature as luell. 
 For M. Finot argues that all things have life and consciousness, and that a solidarity 
 exists which bri/igs together all beings and so-called things. He sets hintself to ivork to 
 show that life, in its philosophic conception, is an elemental force, and durable eus nature 
 herself.

 *»* In compiling tJiis hiogi-aphy of Thackeray M". Lewis Melville., luko is admittedly 
 the authority on the subject, has been assisted by numerous Thackeray experts. Mr. 
 Melville' s name has long been associated with Thackeray, not only as fouftder of the 
 Titmarsh Club, but also as the author of '^ The Thackeray County " and the editor of the 
 standard edition of Thackeray's •works and " Thackeray's Stray Papers." For many 
 years Mr. Melville has devoted himself to the collection of material relating to the life and 
 ■work of his stihject. He has had access to many new letters, and much information has 
 come to hand since the publication of " The Life of Thackeray." Ao7u that everything 
 abo7it the novelist is knoivn, it seems that an appropriate moment has arrived for a new 
 biography. Mr. Melville has also compiled a bibliography of Thackeray that runs to 
 upwards 1,300 ite7ns, by many hundreds more than contained in any hitherto issued. 
 This section "will be invaluable to the collector. Thackeray's speeches, including several 
 never before republished, have also been collected. There is a list of portraits of the 
 novelist, and a separate index to the Bibliography.
