With MS. Notes by Charles Dickens, than whom no one more admired the famous 'Diarist'. At the beginning of each vol. he has written down 'For quotation, if need be' (as he expresses it) the headings of various notabilia, e.g., 'Justice of the Peace': at Sir Heneage Finch, Solicitor General's chambers, we were sworn Justices of Peace for Middlesex, Essex, Kent, and Southampton; with which honour I did find myself mightily pleased, though I am wholly ignorant in the duties of a justice of peace.' Others relate to the unpopularity of the then Bishops, Pepys's inability to appreciate Hudibras, Flattery of Royalty, etc.
