      In an interesting letter to the Times Mr . Herman Merivale clears up a misconception in reference to the last days of Charles Dickensunder which the writer of the memoir of the

      great author in Mr . Morley's Men of Letters , ' seems to have fallen , and to which certain expressions in Mr . Forster ' s ' Life' lend support . The writer of the little volume published bj

      Macmillan describes Dickens as ' doing nothing but suffer in his last visit to town ( 1870 )—not I able to go into society except to meet some very especial persons , and then not above the ' *!•• floor rt and finall /» 11 t « London - « - i for j * Gadshill /~> s "I 1 " 11 "H *¦ 30 * - % f \ to 1 be ^ in « town 1
