SIGNED AND SEALED BY ALL THREE, in the presence of Frederic Ouvry, Solicitor.

Seven pp. folio, with docket on p. 8.

These documents are of very singular biographical interest as connected with the great novelist; showing his shrewd business habits in the conditions of the two agreements.

THE LATER AGREEMENT DERIVES AN ADDITIONAL INTEREST FROM THE PROBABILITY OF ITS BEING THE LAST IMPORTANT ACT IN DICKENS' LIFE. SIX WEEKS AFTER HIS SIGNATURE WAS APPENDED THERETO, HE WAS DEAD.
