Daily Dose

From Letters to Dead Authors, by Andrew Lang

YOURS, SIR

"Yours, Sir, in the best sense of the word is a popular success, a popular reputation. For example, I know that, in a remote and even Pictish part of this kingdom, a rural household, humble and under the shadow of sorrow inevitably approaching, has found in David Copperfield oblivion of winter, of sorrow, and of sickness."

From To Charles Dickens
