Summary
Discussing titles, proposing both "Sketches by Boz and Cuts by Cruikshank" and "Etchings by Boz and Wood Cuts by Cruikshank," and discussing the procurement of copies of Dickens' original sketches for the work. Mentioning that if the whole collection of sketches "falls short of the two volumes," Dickens "will be ready" with two or three new sketches, including one on a proposed visit Newgate.
