Sinopsis
Excerpt from Anecdote Biographies of Thackeray and Dickens
The two great men to whom this little volume is de voted will pass, we may be sure, under the sharp scrn tiny of Posterity. They divided in their life-time the suf frages Of all who speak and read the English tongue; but they cannot be said to have divided it equally, for one sprang intoopopularity, a popularity which he retained to the day of his death, while the other labored long before he was recognized; his reputation was wrung from the world. They had their adherents, as Jonson and Shakes peare had theirs, and battles were fought about them, they remaining the while, let us hope, indifferent, but amused, spectators Of the fight. The biography of one has been written; the biography of the other has not. There will be no biography of Thackeray, if his wishes and the wishes of his daughters are respected.

Excerpt from Anecdote Biographies of Thackeray and Dickens
If we could analyze carefully the various elements contained in a good biography, and decide which interested us most in the reading, and which we remembered longest after the reading, I think we would discover that it was the element of Anecdote. The chief facts in a biography - the general drift of the life of its subject - may impress themselves upon the memory for a time, but that which remains permanently, and which refuses to be forgotten, is something different from these, -some incident or incidents in the life in question - a smart saying, a humorous jest, a rapier thrust of wit, - it may be anything that is salient. We remember somewhat, perhaps, of the life of Lamb, for example: how he went to Christ's Hospital with Coleridge; how he was a clerk in the India House; how he wrote "Elia," and so on; what we certainly remember, if we have any feeling, is his going across the fields with his sister Mary to the mad-house, in which it was necessary that she should be confined, and weeping with her, as he went; what we can never forget, if we have any sense of humor, are his humorous sayings.
