The Narrative of Mr. H., the Portrait-painter, Analysed and Critically Examined
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2018
Extract
In my work on “The Factors of the Unsound Mind” I gave a condensed account of the case of Mr. H. as forwarded to Charles Dickens, editor of “All the Year Round,” now nearly a quarter of a century ago, and published by him in No. 128 of that Journal, October 5th, 1861. It is headed “Mr. H.'s Own Narrative,” and it was forwarded to the editor, much to his surprise, in correction of the first of “Four Stories” published in an earlier number. That it is a genuine narrative, and no fiction, I have every reason to believe.
