This volume, consisting of 54 pages, is one of those expressly printed for 'Reading' purposes, but it bears no mark of having been so used.
'But the triumph of the Christmas achievements in these days was Mrs. Lirriper. She took her place at once among people known to everybody, and all the world talked of Major Jemmy Jackman, and his friend the poor elderly lodging-house keeper of the Strand, with her miserable cares and rivalries and worries, as if they had both been as long in London and as well known as Norfolk-street itself. A dozen volumes could not have told more than those dozen pages did.' - Forster's Life of Dickens.
