Notes

This sound recording purports to be a recording of Charles Dicken's voice; the 1/4" audio material has unknown provenance and came from the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine. It is not contemporaneous with recordings made in the 1890s. The recording has been captured using audio enhancement technology (CEDAR-processed).
