Comments

¶ The facts, according to Edmund Yates, involving his dispute with William Makepeace Thackeray and the Garrick Club, the latter from which Thackeray would have liked to have had Yates expelled. At one point Dickens inserted himself into the disagreement and his letter to Thackeray is reprinted here. The first edition of this pamphlet is scarce. There were reprints and a facsimile by T. J. Wise. Tipped in facing the title-page is a clipped editorial by contemporary journalist James Hannay (1827-73), writing about Yates, the scandal and "A New Type of Journalist," but without directly naming the participants.
