If I meant to reach town as we called it familiarly , I must descend to the valley at once, pass through Uxbridge streets as fast as I could, make a dash across the plain, by what I afterwards knew to be Hillingdon I saw it then as a nameless village , and aim at a house-crowned hill which I only learned later was Harrow, but which I felt sure would enable me to descend upon London by Hampstead or Highgate. John's Wood and Hampstead , and eastward in Shoreditch and Highbury and Haggerston and Hoxton, and, indeed, through all the vastness of London from Ealing to East Ham -- people were rubbing their eyes, and opening windows to stare out and ask aimless questions, dressing hastily as the first breath of the coming storm of Fear blew through the streets.

Near the summit of Heath Street, Hampstead circa LL through the nineteenth century contemporary literature and art maintained an unbroken con- nection with Hampstead. The links forged by Addison, Steele, Pope, Johnson, and Gay, which Leigh Hunt, Shelley, and Keats strengthened and brightened, have had lustre added to them by later poets and writers ; and so long as London remains the centre of British literary effort, so long, it may be presumed, will its most beautiful suburb attract those whose genius can best appreciate and interpret its loveliness.

Not less close, not less lasting, is the hold which Hampstead must have upon painters. What appealed in succession to Morland, Nasmyth, Constable, Muller, Linnell, Collins, Varley, Landseer, Stanfield, Hine, and others of a past generation will be consecrated to art more firmly than ever now that the enlarged open spaces of the Heath, with their wondrous charm of light and shade and colour, are assured as public possessions in perpetuity.

    Charles Dickens has done much to immortalise localities by the intro- duction into them of the characters of his imagination ; but a still greater distinction attaches to the places he honoured by his own presence and regarded with affection. Hampstead is to be numbered among these, while the novelist undoubtedly drew upon Hampstead for the local colour and action of some of the scenes of his novels.

    Change of scene was advised. He moved to Hampstead, and here, at the close of May , John Forster visited him, and became his guest. There is a letter extant written by Dickens to Harrison Ainsworth which fixes the place and date beyond doubt. Dickens and his biographer were often at Hampstead together in subse- quent years.
