THE BLUE AMD WHITE David Copperfield, published, in l S , '.'is called by Dicken3 his favorite child . This novel teems with interesting and droll characters, many of v.'horn are sketches cf persons known to Dickens in his London rambles inrush net strictly autobiographical, some cf the chapter recall incidents in the early.life of Dickens, such as the employment of David in Murdstcre's warehouse. • Mot a few of the characters of the book have taken thei places in the gallery of life-like portraits in literature, he Pep-goty Group, in their humble kindness, is made up f ■ David's old nurse, who married the Barkis v hc was willin' ; her broLher, a bluff, hearty old seaman, who adopted Ham and Little Emily, children of deceased relations; and the ousekeeper, Mr a. -uimr.jdye, always’ crying for the old one , is she described her late husband. David Copperfieldfs old relic cl mats, James Steerforth, stole Little Emil; away and .rok- her eart • md ruined the entire family. Ham lost his 1 i f ;■ along the rocky share try in in vain to rescue Steer-forth from a wreck at sea. In the description of the tragedy of the PegG ty home, Dickens is at' hi3 best. The second Group includes :licav her, famous for his lonc wards and grandiloquent pasing, the nan -'ho always waited or seme-'thing to turn up . Late in life he emigrated to Australia, taking; Little Emily v ith him, and there they lived in peace and ;ccd cheer. The third group is co...posed of David, his kindly old aunt Fratwcod, who turned ; r. hurdstene, David's step-father out of her estate; David weak but lo ing nether, who was completely- subjected to kurdstone; his first child rife, Dora, a beautiful girl, but not a suitable companion; and his second v ife, A nes, who brought him success and urged him on to nobler endeavor. This novel also contains the polished hypocrite, Uriah Iieapt who is always assuming humility, and who all- but .recks the business rid’’ Copper IT leld and his partners. Even the large group of 'subordinate persons is sketched with wonderful clearness and truth to nature, — the odd and humerour dwarf, kiss kawcker; hr. Me11 and Ur. Creakle, the schoolmasters; Tommy Traddles, David'3 childhood friend and companion; the benevolent Dr. Strong; and the virulent Rose Dartle, who tried in many ineffective ways to insinuate herself into the rieart of David. All these portraits are drawn as only Dickens could touch them with life.
