Rh MEDICINE MEN OF CIVILISATION.

"Kindheart."

This was Dickens's name for his friend Angus Fletcher. He died in 1862. See Forster, book iii. chap, vii., and the essay on "The Italian Prisoner."

A LITTLE DINNER IN AN HOUR.

Namelesston, where this awful dinner was served up, seems to be Brighton, if we may judge from allusions to George IV. MR. BARLOW.

"Every schoolboy knows."

Probably Dickens does not mean Lord Macaulay by Mr. Barlow, though he cites Macaulay's favourite phrase.
