Excerpt from The Frozen Deep: And Other Tales (Relating the Adventures and Transformations of The Frozen Deep.) As long ago as the year 1856 I wrote a play called "The Frozen Deep." The work was first represented by amateur actors, at the house of the late Charles Dickens, on the 6th of January 1857. Mr. Dickens himself played the principal part, and played it with a truth, vigour, and pathos never to he forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to witness the performance. The other personages of the story were represented by the ladies of Mr. Dickens's family, by the late Mark Lemon (editor of "Punch"), by the late Augustus Egg, R.A. (the artist), and by the author of the play. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
