This in spite of th e success of Pickwick\, Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby. It seemed to b e an insurance policy in case his career in literature failed. It was an a mbition that Dickens had harboured as early as 1834 when he wrote to Henry Nethersole\, solicitor and Steward of New Inn\, on 13th November that: “I am not a member of the legal profession\; my whole time is at present dev oted to literary pursuits\, and I intend entering at the bar\, as soon as circumstances will enable me to do so.” \nDickens never ate a sufficient n umber of dinners to be called to the bar\, and eventually resigned his mem bership of Middle Temple on 17 March 1855 when he wrote to the Benchers of the Inn explaining that his: “experience of his inability to become a law student in anything but in name respectfully begs permission to withdraw himself from the students’ list and to have his deposit money returned.”      \nPayment Options : \n\nCard – Please complete card details below and p ost to The Dickens Fellowship Membership Secretary\, 48 Doughty Street\, L ondon WC1N 2LX\, England.
