INTRODUCTORY.
"So wishing you well in the way you go, we now conclude with the observation, that perhaps you'll go it."--_Our Mutual Friend._ AMONG the many interesting books that have been published relating to Charles Dickens since his death, more than twenty years ago (it seems but yesterday to some of his admirers), there are at least half a dozen that describe the "country" peopled by the deathless characters created by his genius.
Probably the pioneer in this class of literature was that comprehensive work, _Dickens's London, or London in the Works of Charles Dickens_, by my friend, that thorough Dickensian, Mr. T. Edgar Pemberton, 1876; this was followed by a very readable volume, _In Kent with Charles Dickens_, by Thomas Frost, 1880; then came a dainty tome from Boston, U.S.A., entitled, _A Pickwickian Pilgrimage_, by John R. G. Hassard, 1881.
Afterwards appeared _The Childhood and Youth of Charles Dickens_, by Robert Langton, 1883, beautifully illustrated by the late William Hull of Manchester, the author, and others--a work developed from the _brochure_ by the same author, _Charles Dickens and Rochester_, 1880, which has passed through five editions.
Next to Forster's _Life of Dickens_, Mr. Robert Langton's larger work undoubtedly ranks--especially from the richness of the illustrations--as a very valuable original contribution to the biography of the great novelist.

Chapter 2 of A Week's Tramp in Dickens-Land Together by William R. (William Richard) Hughes holds 39 sentences, grouped into 8 reading sections of at most 5 sentences. The text is the source edition, unabridged, and the chapter records which sentences cover which part of the work so that nothing is dropped. Every word can be tapped for its pronunciation and dictionary entry.

What does chapter 2 of A Week's Tramp in Dickens-Land Together contain?

Chapter 2 holds 39 sentences of A Week's Tramp in Dickens-Land Together, unabridged, divided into 8 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 2 of A Week's Tramp in Dickens-Land Together by William R. (William Richard) Hughes exactly as it stands in the source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 39 sentences, grouped into 8 sections of at most 5 sentences so that a reader can take the chapter in steady, finishable pieces. The chapter also stores a coverage record mapping every one of its sentences to a part of the work, which is how the edition demonstrates that no line was dropped.

How do I study chapter 2 of A Week's Tramp in Dickens-Land Together?

Work through the 8 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 8 sections in this chapter is short enough to read once, hear once, and then re-read with the vocabulary in view. Tapping a word plays it alone and opens its dictionary entry with IPA, part of speech and meaning, so the reader is never forced to guess a pronunciation from spelling. Working section by section keeps a long chapter from becoming an undifferentiated wall of text, which is the usual reason a reader abandons a work of this period.

Can chapter 2 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 2 can be played aloud in United States English.

Audio covers the whole chapter: any sentence can be played, and any single word within it can be played on its own. The voice uses United States English. For a work of this period that matters, because spelling is an unreliable guide to pronunciation for vocabulary that has fallen out of daily use, and a learner who guesses wrong tends to keep the error. Hearing the word in its own sentence, and then alone, settles it.
