to turn
over for an hour in the cars, which is perhaps all it claims to be.
The anecdotes are good old familiar anecdotes, but it is pleasant to
have them strung on a thread. We are reminded that the original
Bride of Lammermoor was a Miss Dalrymple; that the "laughing Tom"
of Thackeray's "Ballad of Bouillabaise" was Thomas Frazer, Paris
correspondent of the _Morning Chronicle_; that the dramatist of
_Nicholas Nickleby_, so savagely assaulted by Dickens in the course of
the work, was a Mr. Moncrief, who would never have prepared the story
for the stage if Dickens had intimated his objection.
