Notes

[1]

The quotation is from the serialized text in Blackwood's Magazine, 48 (October 1840), 460. The surrounding context is valuable for its detailed description of the vogue for a novel like Pip's in high society—how fame is visited upon people who are rumored to be the originals of characters in the novel, how fashions in costume are set (the allusion is to the reputed effect of Bulwer's Pelham on men's clothing), the run on circulating libraries, and so on.
