PECKSNIFF. THE death of the great novelist, Charles Dickens, is too recent to enablemen to form a just estimate of his genius and writings. The world is yetmourning over its loss too keenly to suffer it to approach the subject with thecalmness that such a task requires. Contemporary criticism may deal withthe living in a spirit bordering on justice; and the long-passed-away willreceive their meed unaffected by any of those influences that obscure or warpthe judgment; but the repose of the newly-buried dead is sacred for atleast a season : we approach their graves but to throw flowers upon them. So, let us now think only upon the merits of Charles Dickens, and leave hisfaults as a writer—for faults he had—for other pens and other times. Let usthink and speak of all the good that he did and promoted—all the vices thathe lashed and repressed—all the meannesses that he laughed to scorn—allthe abuses that he exposed and reformed—all the social wrongs that hedenounced and redres
