Dickens, Charles, 1812-1870 -- Homes and haunts -- England -- London; Literary landmarks -- England -- London
The Forster Collection—on the first floor—in this museum contains several
of the earlier LETTERS written by Dickens to Forster, and the pen-and-ink
sketch by _Maclise_, representing the “Apotheosis of ‘Grip,’” the
celebrated Raven, who departed this life at No. 1 Devonshire Terrace,
March 12th, 1841. There are also here exhibited The Manuscripts of the
principal WORKS OF DICKENS, together with a _Proof Copy_ of “David
Copperfield,” showing the corrections of the Author. Most of these lie
opened, each at its first page; and it is interesting to observe the
careful interlineations and alterations with which the various original
copies were amended. In the case of “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” the
sorrowful memento of its final page is exposed to view, as being the last
sheet written by the “vanished hand” of our much loved and faithful
friend,
