Binding rather rubbed and edgeworn otherwise a good copy with Charles Dickens' lion bookplate and the Gadshill label at the front and with the bookplate of John Gribbel at the back. Old bookseller's description tipped in front. The second edition in which Procter took the opportunity "to strike out about forty of the poems of inferior quality contained in the old volume and to introduce in their stead nearly seventy Poems in rhyme besides a considerable quantity of Dramatic verse" - "Preface to the Present Edition" dated "April 13th 1844." A presentation copy inscribed on the title-page: "Charles Dickens / with the best Regards of / The Author." In THE DICKENS CIRCLE New York 1919 p. 169 J.W.T. Ley states: "We may take it as quite certain that Dickens came to know Procter through Forster. And from the first the novelist and the poet were on the best of terms. It was natural. Procter was a peculiarly lovable man with a peculiar gentleness 'childlike without being childish and an unfailing buoyancy of spirit.' Such a man could not but have a strong attraction for Dickens. From the beginning he loved the company of his friend who in the 'forties was one of the innermost circle with Forster and Maclise and Ainsworth. Procter was one of the little company at the Greenwich dinner in 1842 and until he grew too old he was twenty-five years older than Dickens they had frequent social meetings. For HOUSEHOLD WORDS and ALL THE YEAR ROUND he wrote a great deal and Dickens valued his contributions very highly indeed . . . As Procter grew old Dickens saw less and less of him but the friendship remained as deep as ever and in 1854 it was peculiarly sweetened by the discovery that the 'Miss Mary Berwick' who had contributed verses to HOUSEHOLD WORDS which had won Dickens's unstinted praise was really his old friend's daughter Adelaide whom he had known from her childhood."

18671002625London 1867. Admission ticket #70 for the public banquet given in honor of Charles Dickens as he embarked on his final American reading tour. In 1867 Dickens was at the height of his literary fame and the grand farewell dinner at London's Freemason's Hall was attended by almost five hundred guests including Matthew Arnold Wilkie Collins Alfred Tennyson and Anthony Trollope. In his response to the toasts Dickens outlined his reasons for returning to America: " I am inspired . . . by a natural desire to see for myself the astonishing change and progress of a quarter of a century over there to grasp the hands of many faithful friends whom I left upon those shores to see the faces of a multitude of new friends upon whom I have never looked and last not least to use my best endeavor to lay down a third cable of intercommunication and alliance between the old world and the new." Dickens was overwhelmed by the occasion writing to his friend Harry Wills the following day: "When I got up to speak but for taking a desperate hold of myself I should have lost my sight and voice and sat down again." A near-fine artifact of the Victorian literary scene. Pale green coated card measuring 3 x 4.5 inches printed recto only: "Dinner given to Mr. Charles Dickens / on the occasion of / His Departure for the United States / Freemason's Hall Great Queen St. / Saturday November 2nd 1867 Seven o'clock."
