THE SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM
is readily attainable from Charing Cross (or any other) station of the District Metropolitan Railway. Entrance in Cromwell Road, five minutes’ walk, on the north side, from South Kensington Station.
The Forster Collection—on the first floor—in this museum contains several of the earlier Letters written by Dickens to Forster, and the pen-and-ink sketch by Maclise, representing the “Apotheosis of ‘Grip,’” the celebrated Raven, who departed this life at No. 1 Devonshire Terrace, March 12th, 1841. There are also here exhibited The Manuscripts of the principal Works of Dickens, together with a Proof Copy of “David Copperfield,” showing the corrections of the Author. Most of these lie opened, each at its first page; and it is interesting to observe the careful interlineations and alterations with which the various original copies were amended. In the case of “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” the sorrowful memento of its final page is exposed to view, as being the last sheet written by the “vanished hand” of our much loved and faithful friend,
