I can well remember the appearance of the "Sketches by BOZ," to be so quickly followed by the "Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club."
"John Leech, His Life and Work. Vol. 1"
William Powell Frith
One of the first sketches by "BOZ" was Our Schoolmaster, and his books are full of illustrations of wrong training of children in homes, in institutions, and by professional child trainers such as Mrs. Pipchin.
"Dickens As an Educator"
James L. (James Laughlin) Hughes
One of the first of the Sketches by BOZ described a man who had passed through many vicissitudes, and at length was reduced to such poverty that he applied to the parish board for charity.
