The writer of this column (possibly the editor of the Cornwall Chronicle, William Lushington Goodwin) calls 'the attention of our readers to an advertisement in our columns, in which notice is given of the re-publication of the Pickwick Papers, by Mr, Henry Dowling ... [I]f we judge from the frequent calls upon us for the loan of the entire work in our possession ... [it] will amply reward Mr Dowling for his publication ... [Dowling's edtion], in a typographical point of view, is superior to the original from the London Press.'
Dowling's edition of the Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club was published in Launceston in 25 parts from August to December, 1838.
