A handsome VG copy. 15 1 blank pp. Binder's blanks at rear of volume. 8vo. 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" <br/><br/>The notorious quarrel between two of England's most popular authors began with Yates' critical review in Town Talk of Thackeray's English Humourists of the Eighteenth Century. Thackeray as might be expected was a bit affronted at what he viewed as a slanderous insult by this fellow member of the Garrick Club; believing much of Yates' information came from club meetings he took his grievance to the club committee. The committee sided with Thackeray and instructed Yates to apologize; Yates refused & was forcibly barred from club premises subsequently bringing charges against the club Secretary. Dickens absent from London as this brouhaha was brewing returned to find all in full force. He offered to mediate though primarily siding with Yates which Thackeray viewed as treachery. The ill feelings between the two did not abate for years until shortly before Thackeray's death in 1863. Herein Yates recounts the history & evidence of the disagreement with not unexpectedly a bias to his own case.
