JERROLD, BLANCHARD,
THE BEST OF ALL GOOD COMPANY. By BLANCHARD JERROLD.
Comprising : A Day with Charles Dickens ; A Day with Sir Walter Scott;
A Day with Thackeray; A Day with Douglas Jerrold. Consisting of
a bright biography of each writer, a sketch of his career as an author, an
estimate of his genius, and extracts from his works. With specimens of
manuscript, portrait, and illustrations by ROBERT HARRIS.
The whole is calculated to give the reader such an idea of "The Best of all
Good Company," as would be gained by a personal acquaintance.

A happy method of bringing some of the great masters of our literature into more intimate
relations with the people.—Christian Union.
Entertaining reading.—N. Y. Evening Mail.
Capital in design and execution.—Prov. Evening Press.
It deserves, and undoubtedly will receive, a large popularity in this country.—Phila. Evening

Many new anecdotes of the distinguished writers in question are given, and Mr. Jerrold has
written his part of the work in a pleasant, gossipy style, that carries out the illusion that he is the
genial club-man, who, having introduced the reader to the best of all good company, remains to
take a welcome share in the conversation.—N. Y. Graphic.
