Charles Dickens died on 9th June 1870, aged only 58. This image was created by John Everett Millais the following day immortalising the literary genius in this final deathbed scene. Dickens's daughter Mamie recalled cutting a lock of hair from her father's "beautiful, dead head".

The @EFLOxford copy of Wordsworth’s The Excursion contains one scribble and one scribble only: ‘too much emotion’. Breathtaking.

What we could all be doing right now if we followed the diary of an amateur idler, from Thomas Charles Morgan’s essay ‘Idleness’ (1825): ‘Half-past eleven. Sunk in an arm-chair, with a novel, read the same page three times over, and fell asleep.’ Sounds rather lovely.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s remark that breakfast is ‘the nurse of a myriad essays’ in ‘An Essay on Breakfasts’ may seem delightful (I can picture him writing it munching a crumpet) but it’s 3.30pm and I’m now convinced I can’t possibly write until breakfast tomorrow

It is March 1898. A young reporter Edward Le Breton-Martin, with Pearson’s Magazine, goes out onto the streets of London with a photographer & writes an article about the way people hold their hands as they walk along. Here for your delectation is a thread on London hands.

Today I have learnt that the OED’s first evidence of the noun ‘butterfingers’ is from the New Monthly Magazine in 1835 (in Chapter IX of Theodore Hook’s Gilbert Gurney). The crowd heckles an executioner who when holding up a decapitated head lets it slip. It’s wild out here.
