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."
