George Dolby worked as manager and secretary for the author Charles Dickens, accompanying him on his famous writing tours in Britain and North America. As well as being a prolific author, Charles Dickens was renowned for his capacity to evocatively read his stories to others. He channeled the emotional and dramatic portions of his books so well that listeners often sat rapt in silence, with women and children sometimes moved to tears. Booked by many venues across Britain and America, Dickens was a popular sensation, who spent much of his final years constantly on the move, reading his finest stories to his fans. George Dolby speaks of his former employer with respect and admiration; Charles Dickens was a gentleman through-and-through, treating those he met courteously. A diligent manager, Dolby recalls the financial and practical aspects of the reading tours, and many of the interesting incidents he and Dickens experienced on their travels. Dolby also recalls how Dickens was prone to fatigue, with his health declining as the reading tours wore on. Finally, and most emotionally, he remembers his final meeting with the great author, mere days before he perished. This edition of Dolby's memoirs contains several illustrations, some of which had appeared in the popular press of the time.

Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. FUTHER AMERICAN EXPERIENCES. N my return to Philadelphia, I found Mr. Dickens still suffering so much, that he was compelled to decline all offers of hospitality tendered to him by his friends in Philadelphia; feeling that if he took advantage of these offers, he would be totally unfit for the labour of the Readings. In his weak state of health, he was desirous of seeing me, to confer as to the advisability of taking so long a journey as that to Chicago, a distance of nearly fifteen hundred miles. He also had fears as to my staying power, or, as he expressed it in a letter to his son (Mr. Charles Dickens), " If Dolby holds out well to the last it will be a triumph, for he has to see everybody, to drink with everybody, sell all the tickets, take all the blame, and go beforehand to all the places on the list. I shall not see him after to-night for ten days or a fortnight, and he will be perpetually on the road during the interval." CHICAGO THREATENS TO GO INTO FITS. 219 What he underwent from the effects of his cold, it is impossible to describe. He could not sleep at night, and rarely, if ever, got up before twelve o'clock in the day. He had to abandon his breakfast, and dine at three, and could take no food until after the work of the evening was over, and then only something very light, in the shape of quail or a devilled bone. The champagne had to be given up during the Readings, and in its place I prepared an egg beaten up in sherry for him every night, to take between the parts; this seemed to do him good, and to refresh him wonderfully. The abandonment of the Western journey caused the greatest disappointment and annoyance to the Chicago public, as indeed it did to all the friends of the great Western country, amongst...

Excerpt from Charles Dickens as I Knew Him: The Story of the Reading Tours in Great Britain and America (1866-1870) My Preface shall be a very brief one, but I feel that two or three introductory words are necessary. And in the first place (and chiefly I must confess with a wish to disarm them), I will make an apology to any and all of my critics who may miss in these pages the flavour and essence of a genuine literary work. I am far from the affectation of claiming for my book that it should rank as an artistic production. All that I have done is this: I have spent some months in the effort to tell, as simply as possible, the story of the famous Reading Tours of Charles Dickens; the most brilliantly successful enterprises of their kind that were ever undertaken. Had I the pen of a ready writer, I could have told my story a hundred times better than I have done; but such as it is, it has been a labour of love to me.
