AN INTRODUCTION BY
CHARLES DICKENS
In the spring of the year 1853, I observed, as conductor of the weekly
journal Household Words, a short poem among the proffered contributions,
very different, as I thought, from the shoal of verses perpetually setting
through the office of such a periodical, and possessing much more merit.
Its authoress was quite unknown to me. She was one Miss Mary
Berwick, whom I had never heard of; and she was to be addressed by
letter, if addressed at all, at a circulating library in the western district of
London. Through this channel, Miss Berwick was informed that her
poem was accepted, and was invited to send another. She complied, and
became a regular and frequent contributor. Many letters passed between
the journal and Miss Berwick, but Miss Berwick herself was never seen.
