Will Stanley lecture or not when he returns to England ? He is reported to have expressed himself doubtfully on the subject, but perhaps he does not know what a fever of curiosity there is to see and hear him, and what extraordinary offers his agent, Mr. G. W. Appleton, is receiving from all parts of the United Kingdom, America, and the Colonies. Mr. Appleton, in fact, has already booked him (subject^ course, to Stanley’s consent when he returns) for £10,000 worth of lecture engagements in the United Kingdom alone, and he tells me that, with America and Australia, he will very soon and very easily add £30,000more to that sum. Stanley must surely give his consent. It will be such a lecture tour as never was before. It will beat Dickens’s reading-tours hollow. Mr. Appleton says that people are simply wild to see him, and that the managers of institutes and public halls all over the country*are competing for him at such a rate that almost any money can be had from them. The lowest terms he has accepted anywhere are in excess of the highest terms ever paid to Dickens.
