Charles Dicken's journals
Household Words and
All the Year Round had Extra Christmas Numbers each each year, and several of them were co-authored by Dickens and staff writers who shared his views on social activism.
A House to Let was the 'Household Words' Extra Christmas Number for 1858, and was co-authored by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, and Elizabeth Gaskell, all well established novelists, and Adelaide Anne Procter, Queen Victoria's favourite poet who in her time was ranked just below Tennyson. Dickens and Collins together provided the linking text between each story. The chapter entitled 'The Manchester Marriage', by Elizabeth Gaskell, was also included in her 1860 short story collection
Right at Last and Other Tales.
The source text cannot be named since after checking it against the Dickens Journal Online site I have silently corrected several typos. I have made changes to spelling and hyphenation using oxforddictionaries.com.
Edit: I have changed the file name, but not the contents.
