DICKENSIANA.
"A delightful little book."—Institute.
"The lecture itself is full of that genial humour characteristic of Mr. Lockwood, who is acknowledged to be the most jocular of Queen's Counsellors, and the cleverest caricaturist at the Bar. He has been a devoted student of the works of Charles Dickens, and has selected with much discrimination those passages that most strikingly exhibit the novelist's acquaintance with legal men and affairs fifty years ago."—Dundee Advertiser.
"The effort was well worthy of permanent inclusion in Dickensian lore, and, as it is published at the price of one shilling, the title brochure is likely to find an extended field of readers. It is prefaced by an original pen-and-ink sketch of Serjeant Buzfuz by Mr. Lockwood, who is, as is generally known, an adept at characteristic portraiture of this kind."—Umpire.
