Opposite GEORGE, Duke of Clarence, is written in ink, "Drown'd in a
Butt of Malmsey Madeira," and following THOMAS DICKENS, ESQ., the
Author, also written in ink--
"Lieut.-Gen. Sir SAML. T. DICKENS, K.C.H. his Son
Capt. SAML. T. DICKENS, R.N. his Son"
And following the last-mentioned names written in pencil--
"Admiral SAMUEL TREVOR DICKENS, R.N. my Son"
Also written in pencil underneath the above--
"qy. CHARLES DICKENS the Novelist."
[20] In a copy--in my collection--of the second edition 8vo of "_The
History and Antiquities of Rochester and its Environs_, embellished with
engravings (pp. i-xvii, 1-419), printed and sold by W. Wildash,
Rochester, 1817," there occurs in the list of subscribers--about four
hundred in number--the name:--DICKENS MR. JOHN, CHATHAM.
[21] A most interesting paper entitled "The Life and Labours of
Lieutenant Waghorn," appeared in _Household Words_ (No. 21), August
17th, 1850.
[22] See Note to Chapter ii. p. 38.
[23] Since this was written, Mr. Littlewood has passed over to the great
majority. He was found drowned near Chatham Pier in March, 1890.
[24] This was taken from the first edition of Mr. Langton's book,
published in 1883. In the new edition, 1891--a beautiful volume--this
passage has been eliminated, but the engraving is untouched.
[25] This house is appropriately named "Highland House," and was also
the property of John Dickens's landlord, in which the family then and
for many years after resided. At the time referred to Mr. Pearce owned
not only the above-mentioned houses, but all the surrounding property.
