Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son: Wholesale, Retail, and for Exportation Dickens, Charles, DOMBEY AND SON -- CHARLES DICKENS BORN I S I 2-DIED I 870 -- Editors y o t e Streets, their throngs, and their by-ways were always inspirations to Dickens. The lack of them handicapped him when he began writing Dombey and Son while living in Switzerland. Referring to the absence of streets and numbers of jigures, he told Forster The toil and labour of writing day after day without that magic lantern is IMMENSE . . . My figures seem disposed to stagnate without crowds about them. To supply what was wanted he moved to Paris and he finished the story in England. When published in 1846-7 the work was a great success, and the sales soared, while eople wept and laughed over it. The authors strong belief was that Dombey would be remembered as among the best of his books. The forecast has hardly been borne out. It is the longest, but not the fullest, of his novels and it is one of those in which the secondary characters take predominence. The original of Mrs. Pipchin was Mrs. Roylance, of Little College Street, Camden Town, with whom he lodged when, as a boy, he was employed in a blacking warehouse. Doctor Blimber was Doctor Everard, a pedagogue of Brighton. Polly Toodle was a Mrs. Hayes of Manchester, who knew the author as a boy. Rather more superficial is the identijcation of Mrs. Skewton and her daughter with a Mrs. Campbell of Lea nington, and her daughter-wlzo was beautqul. So i s fkat of Dolnbey with Thomas Chapman, Dickenss publisher. Carker is said to be drawn, at a zy rate exteriorly, from a poor fellow, probably mad, who lived in the Oxford Road, which he haunted at nights. The present edition is printed f o w th e opze corrected by the author in 1867-1868 -- PREFACE I MAKE SO boldas to brelieve that the faculty or the habit of correctly observing the chLracters of men, is a rare one. I have not even found, within my experience, that the facuity or the habit of correctly observing so much as the faces of men, is a general one by any means. The two cornrnonest mistakes in judgment that I suppose to arise from the former default, are, the confounding of shyness with arrogance--a very comlnon mistake indeed-and the not understanding that an obstinate nature exists in a perpetual struggle with itself. Mr. Dombey undergoes no violent change, either in this book, or in real life. A sense of his injustice is within him, all along. The more he represses it, the more unjust he necessarily is. Internal shame and external circumstances may bring the contest to a close in a week, or a day but, it has been a contest for years, and is only fought out after a long balance of victory. I began this book by the Lake of Geneva, and went on with it for some months in France, before pursuing it in England. The association between the writing and the place of writing is so curiously strong in my mind, that at this day, although I know, in n y fancy, every stair in the little midshipmans house and could swear to every pew in the church in which Florence was married,.
