    that all the productions of his splendid if variable fancy should be preserved . Our

    inclinations agree with the latter opinion . No better reason for this could be found than the

    volume before us . When it was announced that a . forgotten

    store of letters from Thackeray's pen had been cherished with care by some devoted friends

    not a few critics thought their authenticity proved doubtful . that Now these . however letters , it hailing is * indisputabl from an y
