This volume, as indicated by the title, is designed to show the way to the beginner, to satisfy and more especially to excite his initial curiosity. It affords an adequate idea of the march of facts and of ideas. The reader is led, somewhat rapidly, from the remote origins to the most recent efforts of the human mind. It should be a convenient repertory to which the mind may revert in order to see broadly the general opinion of an epoch—and what connected it with those that followed or preceded it. It aims above all at being a frame in which can conveniently be inscribed, in the course of further studies, new conceptions more detailed and more thoroughly examined. It will have fulfilled its design should it incite to research and meditation, and if it prepares for them correctly. [mehr]

My Father's Family Name Being Pirrip, And My Christian Name Philip, My Infant Tongue Could Make Of Both Names Nothing Longer Or More Explicit Than Pip. So, I Called Myself Pip, And Came To Be Called Pip. I Give Pirrip As My Father's Family Name, On The Authority Of His Tombstone And My Sister - Mrs. Joe Gargery, Who Married The Blacksmith. As I Never Saw My Father Or My Mother, And Never Saw Any Likeness Of Either Of Them (For Their Days Were Long Before The Days Of Photographs), My First Fancies Regarding What They Were Like, Were Unreasonably Derived From Their Tombstones. The Shape Of The Letters On My Father's, Gave Me An Odd Idea That He Was A Square, Stout, Dark Man, With Curly Black Hair. From The Character And Turn Of The Inscription, "Also Georgiana Wife Of The Above," I Drew A Childish Conclusion That My Mother Was Freckled And Sickly. To Five Little Stone Lozenges, Each About A Foot And A Half Long, Which Were Arranged In A Neat Row Beside Their Grave, And Were Sacred To The Memory Of Five Little Brothers Of Mine - Who Gave Up Trying To Get A Living, Exceedingly Early In That Universal Struggle - I Am Indebted For A Belief I Religiously Entertained That They Had All Been Born On Their Backs With Their Hands In Their Trousers-Pockets, And Had Never Taken Them Out In This State Of Existence.

Charles John Huffam Dickens (/ˈtʃɑrlz ˈdɪkɪnz/; 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period.[1] During his life, his works enjoyed unprecedented fame, and by the twentieth century he was widely seen as a literary genius by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue to be widely popular.[2][3] Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens was forced to leave school to work in a factory when his father was thrown into debtors' prison. Although he had little formal education, his early impoverishment drove him to succeed. Over his career he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas and hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.
