We read in the same book that the _Crummles_ family resided at the house of one Bulph, a pilot; that _Miss Snevellicci_ had lodgings in Lombard Street, at the house of a tailor, where also _Mr. and Mrs. Lillyvick_ found temporary accommodation; and that _Nicholas_ and _Smike_ lived in two small rooms, up three pair of stairs, at a tobacconist’s shop, on the Common Hard. But it is not possible to particularise these places; indeed, it is altogether doubtful whether they had any special assignment in the mind of the author himself. * * * * * Leaving Portsmouth, at convenience, by the _Brighton and South Coast Railway_, we may take the return journey to London in about three hours, arriving at the West End Terminus of the line, _Victoria Station_. From this point we may revisit, _viâ Victoria Street_, about half a mile in distance, Westminster Abbey, containing the TOMB OF DICKENS, which will be found in the classic shade of the _Poets’ Corner_. At the time of his death the _Times_ “took the lead in suggesting that the only fit resting-place for the remains of a man so dear to England was the Abbey, in which most illustrious Englishmen are laid;” and accordingly, on the 14th of June, the funeral took place, with a strict observance of privacy. In Dean Stanley’s “WESTMINSTER ABBEY” the following statement is given:— “Close under the bust of Thackeray lies Charles Dickens, not, it may be, his equal in humour, but more than his equal in his hold on the popular mind, as was shown in the intense and general enthusiasm shown at his grave. The funeral, according to Dickens’s urgent and express desire in his will, was strictly private. It took place at an early hour in the summer morning, the grave having been dug in secret the night before; and the vast solitary space of the Abbey was occupied only by the small band of mourners, and the Abbey clergy, who, without any music except the occasional peal of the organ, read the funeral service. For days the spot was visited by thousands; many were the flowers strewn upon it by unknown hands; many were the tears shed by the poorer visitors. He rests beside Sheridan, Garrick, and Henderson.” The plain stone covering the tomb is inscribed CHARLES DICKENS, Born February 7th, 1812. Died June 9th, 1870.
