George Cruikshank regaled a dinner of the Antiquarian Society with a rendition of the ballad. On "hearing Cruikshank mournfully intone the word's of the Turks' daughter to the imprisoned LordÂ… Dickens offered to polish it into an even more solemn absurdity. He told Cruikshank to ask his sister Fanny to take down the music and 'to be sure to mark the shades and the expression.' And although he kept his part in The Loving Ballad secret he not only wrote a burlesque introduction and notes but altered lines and substituted a new last verse." Johnson p. 260. It has also been suggested that Thackeray arranged the old ballad Dickens is thought to have contributed the 'scholarly' notes and Cruikshank provided the illustrations. <br />This volume is comprised of four parts the first is an engraving of Thackeray of unknown origin the second is Dec. 1892 Harper's Magazine article by Anne Thackeray Richie considering the history of the story's origin and arguing that her father was responsible without Dicken's contribution. The third part is 4 mss pages in Harry Bache Smith exploring his Bateman holdings and its history and noting a direct contradiction to Richie's argument.

It began with a frame story in which Master Humphrey tells about himself and his small circle of friends which includes Mr. Pickwick and their penchant for telling stories. Several short stories were included followed by the novels The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge. It is generally thought that Dickens originally intended The Old Curiosity Shop as a short story like the others that had appeared in Master Humphrey's Clock but after a few chapters decided to extend it into a novel. Master Humphrey appears as the first-person narrator in the first three chapters of The Old Curiosity Shop but then disappears stating "And now that I have carried this history so far in my own character and introduced these personages to the reader I shall for the convenience of the narrative detach myself from its further course and leave those who have prominent and necessary parts in it to speak and act for themselves."<br/><br/>Master Humphrey is a lonely man who lives in London. He keeps old manuscripts in an antique longcase clock by the chimney-corner. One day he decides that he would start a little club called Master Humphrey's Clock where the members would read out their manuscripts to the others. The members include Master Humphrey; a deaf gentleman Jack Redburn; retired merchant Owen Miles; and Mr. Pickwick from The Pickwick Papers. A mirror club in the kitchen Mr. Weller's Watch run by Mr. Weller has members including Humphrey's maid the barber and Sam Weller.<br/>Master Humphrey's Clock appeared after The Old Curiosity Shop to introduce Barnaby Rudge. After Barnaby Rudge Master Humphrey is left by himself by the chimney corner in a train of thoughts. Here the deaf gentleman continues the narration. Later the deaf gentleman and his friends return to Humphrey's house to find him dead. Humphrey has left money for the barber and the maid no doubt by traces of love that they would be married. Redburn and the deaf gentleman look after the house and the club closes for good.<br/><br/>In the portion of Master Humphrey's Clock which succeeds The Old Curiosity Shop Master Humphrey reveals to his friends that he is the character referred to as the 'single gentleman' in that story.<br/><br/>Provenance: With the armorial bookplate of Barbara Hylton Madge 1882-1967 on front paste-downs. Barbara Hylton Madge was the wife of Lieut. Col. C.A. Madge and mother to John Madge who wrote The Origins of Science Sociology. His brother Charles Henry Madge who was a poet journalist and a literary figure from his early twenties and founder of Mass Observation.<br/><br/>Smith I 6.
