Note 49 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.
Letters, 4: 148. I think Ray was misled by ascribing a June date for a letter to Charles Lever that clearly implies an editorial relation (Letters, 4: 143). I think it more likely to have been written later in the year.
