Excerpt from A Collection of Letters of W. M. Thackeray: 1847-1855, With Portraits and Reproductions of Letters and Drawings No writer of recent times is so much quoted as Thackeray; scarcely a week passes without his name recurring in one or other of the leading articles of the day and yet whilst his published works retain their influence so firmly, the per sonal impression of his life and conversation be comes more and more shadowy and indistinct as the friends who knew and loved him the most are gradually becoming fewer and passing away.
