Interesting quote to James Spence (number 10) on his American Union book. I'm wondering if the recently discovered details on who wrote the articles for Dickens' journal ( including the previously unidentified article on the Morrell Tariff) might throw up more links. The fact the two corresponded, and that Dickens had a signed copy of Spence's book in his library can't help but make me wonder if Dickens visited on any of his trips to Liverpool in the 1860s, as his performance venue is literally a stone's throw away. Wouldn't it be great to discover that Dickens may have dined in the square?
"I had no previous inclination towards the Southern side of the question. But your reasoning is so clear and close, your knowledge of the subject matter so minute and so extensive, and your treatment of it at once so skillful and so temperate that I cannot resist the conclusion at which you have yourself arrived" - Charles Dickens.
