Note 24 to Chapter 3 of the author's Pegasus in Harness: Victorian Publishing and W. M. Thackeray, which University Press of Virginia published in 1992. It has been included in the Victorian Web with the kind permission of the author, who of course retains copyright.
Jenifer Glynn, in recelling this episode, placed the meeting Anne recalled in 1851 (Glynn, p. 119), in spite of the fact that Anne said it was the first occasion on which she heard Smith's name; 1849 is a much more plausible date for that.
