This volume, consisting of 53 pages, bears numerous marks of Excision by the Author, as well as a few words in his Autograph. On the fly-leaf he has written, 'Red Lion, Cant.'
'Dr. Marigold was one of the most popular of all the pieces selected for his readings, and a splendid example of his humour, pathos, and character. ''I received your letter in praise of Dr. Marigold,'' he writes to Lord Lytton, ''and read and re-read all your generous words, fifty times over, with inexpressible delight.'' The piece was worthy of the praise.' - Forster's Life of Dickens.
