Quotations from Dickens novels are taken from the Clarendon Dickens

Little Dorrit, Martin Chuzzlewit, and The Pickwick Papers, and from Penguin
editions (London: Penguin) for all other novels. Text for the Christmas Books
is taken from the New Oxford Illustrated Dickens (London: Oxford, 1954).
I have also quoted from Christmas Stories, ed. Ruth Glancy (London: J. M.

Because there are so many easily available editions of Dickens novels,
I have cited them by title initials followed by chapter, or book and chapter,
numbers. Page numbers have been used for quotations from Christmas Books
and Christmas Stories.AN American Notes
