The Notes Included Complaints Made By The Author About The Postal Service And Him Being Self Aware Of His Celebrity Status In Victorian Britain

Over 11 manuscripts, notes, and letters belonging to Victorian playwright, poet, and writer Charles Dickens FRSA thought to have been lost have been found and will be shown to the public, after over a century in hiding among private collections, museum archives, and abandoned buildings across London.

Charles Dickens was born on the 7th of February 1812 in Landport, Portsmouth, and died on the 9th of June 1870 at Gads Hill Place aged 58 after suffering a stroke whilst working on a sequel to The Mystery of Edwin Drood, the book was never published and only the draft written by Dickens before his fatal stroke remains.

The manuscripts, letters, and notes are part of a collection worth an estimated £1.8 Million ($2 Million) and consist of a variety of information previously unknown about Charles Dickens, like how he was self aware of his own fame, became disillusioned with the government following the British Empire establishing the British Raj (Modern day Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar/Burma, and Sri Lanka.) in 1858, and how he hated the Postal Service in Victorian Britain among other such discoveries.

The Charles Dickens Museum in King's Cross located within the London borough of Camden purchased the collection for an untold amount of money, and have announced that the collection will be put on display for the viewing public.

The museum's curator, Emily Dunbar, stated that: "The letters are a great example of Charles Dickens showing self importance, that he knew he was famous and had legions of fans across both the UK and the then British Empire, how he opposed Imperialism and Colonialism, and the little bits of information about his personal life which help us understand what the man was like outside of writing A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist".
