Excerpt from Dickens and Talfourd: With an Address Three Unpublished Letters to Talfourd, the Father of the First Copyright Act, Which Put an End to the Piracy of Dickens' WritingsTalfourd, as we have said, was born in 1795, the son of a brewer at Reading, he was educated at Mill Hill School, and then studied for the law, being called to the Bar in 1821. He was one of those brilliant men of whom so many can be men tioned in the early nineteenth century, who could have won fame in several spheres of activity, it is indeed difficult to classify some of them when it comes to making out those lists of literary, social, legal, political or other celebrities which we like to append to our history books, for some men played so many parts and played them all so well, that if we class one as statesman we find we are robbing literature of a brilliant author, or history of a great soldier, and so on. We are probably too close to the Victorian era to properly appreciate these men, but in these present days of specialization it is indeed surprising to re¿ect upon what one man then could and did achieve in a lifetime.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
