MASTER HUMPHREY’S CLOCK

DEDICATION OF
“MASTER HUMPHREY’S CLOCK”

TO
SAMUEL ROGERS, ESQUIRE.

My Dear Sir,

Let me have my Pleasures of Memory in connection with this book, by dedicating it to a Poet whose writings (as all the world knows) are replete with generous and earnest feeling; and to a man whose daily life (as all the world does not know) is one of active sympathy with the poorest and humblest of his kind.

Your faithful friend,
CHARLES DICKENS.
