The Life of Charles Dickens, Vol. I-III, Complete

Note 258 — Chapter XIII

Reading edition

I give one such instance: "The railway people have offered, in the case of the young man whom I got out of the carriage just alive, all the expenses and a thousand pounds down. The father declines to accept the offer. It seems unlikely that the young man, whose destination is India, would ever be passed for the Army now by the Medical Board. The question is, how far will that contingency tell, under Lord Campbell's Act?"

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
