• First public reading of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens himself -

  MR CHARLES DICKENS’S “READING.”—The second entertainment “in remembrance” of the late Mr. Douglas Jerrold took place on. Tuesday night at St. Martin’s Hall, where Mr. Charles Dickens read his “Christmas Carol” for the first time before a London public. At an early hour the hall was crowded. Indeed so large the number sent away from the doors, that a repetition of the “reading” at the same place on Friday, the 24th inst., was announced. Mr. Dickens is a most admirable speaker. His delivery is strong and clear; his enunciation distinct and emphatic; his manner singularly genial and hearty. Although he does not act the personages, he completely enters into the spirit of the situations; and the joviality with which he describes the scenes of Christmas festivity endows his discourse with the vividness’ of a living picture. To transform himself into a number of successive individuals he does not attempt, but he throws himself into the atmosphere in which they all move, and compels his audience to live in it likewise. His command is equally potent over emotions of every kind; and during the whole of the evening he held the sympathies of his hearers as firmly as one might grasp a tangible object. Deafening acclamation followed the conclusion of the ‘reading,” and compelled Mr. Dickens to come forward and bow his acknowledgments. The third of the “Jerrold” entertainments will consist of Mr. W. H. Russell’s narrative of the Crimean War, to be delivered at St. Martin’s Hall on Tuesday next the 7th.
