"From Wednesday to Friday, the 4th to the 6th of October, 1843, Dickens was at Manchester, where 'he spoke mainly on a matter always nearest his heart, the education of the very poor.' He described to his audience the terrible sights he had lately taken his friend, the poet Longfellow, to see in some of the worst parts of London: 'thousands of immortal creatures condemned without alternative to tread, not what our great poet calls the primrose path to the everlasting bonfire, but one of jagged flints and stones laid down by brutal ignorance.'." -------- from Charles Dickens.
