I strongly advise every person interested in Japan and its development to peruse the Life of Sir Harry Parkes, by Mr. F. V. Dickins and Mr. Stanley L. Poole. One interesting feature in Sir Harry Parkes's career I may record here, as I have had it on the authority of a gentleman conversant with the facts.
F. V. Dickins, is justly remembered not for his forensic but for his literary efforts in the direction of depicting the inner life of the Japanese people. Into these foreign courts all the jargon, the quips and quibbles of English law were imported. These courts were, not unnaturally, an eyesore to the Japanese people.
'An' what t' dickins had she to do wi' Philip? asked Kester, in intense surprise; and so absorbed in curiosity that he let the humbugs all fall out of the paper upon the floor, and the little Bella sat down, plump, in the midst of treasures as great as those fabled to exist on Tom Tiddler's ground.
"Faix, it is; I forgot my spectacles tonight. Who the dickins are you at all?" "I suppose you purtind to forget Ned M'Cormick?" "Is it Nogher's son?" "The divil a other; an', Dandy Duffy, how are you, man alive?"

"All right," sighed Dick. "I'll " "Well?" insisted five boys in the same breath. "I reckon I'll shut up," Dick rejoined. "Say, somebody ought to hit Dickins!" grunted Reade. "That's right," grinned Dan.
We're going down these steps for the last time as Central Grammar boys. I'd rather do it in silence, and thoughtfully." "Isn't Dickins the queer old chap?" demanded Harry Hazelton, falling back by Reade's side. "It's a pity you couldn't be queer, just for once, and hold your tongue until we are outside the good old schoolyard," grunted Tom.
"Ditter dickins!" exclaimed Tom Dunning, after listening a moment to the reading of the riot act, or proclamation, as it was usually called, as, with several others, he stood just within the entrance. "Now I wonder if they expect to rout a body of Green Mountain Boys with that sort of ditter ammunition?" "There!" fiercely cried Patterson, as the reader concluded his task.
