Table of Contents and Relation to Previous Sketches.

*An asterisk marks where titles were altered, usually in punctuation, from their appearance in Sketches by Boz, First Series (1836) and Second Series (1837) published by John Macrone. Note that, due to Dickens's efforts to include both the First Series and Second Series in one organised volume, placement and/or pagination is different for a given story or sketch in the 1839 Chapman and Hall new edition (one volume) in contrast to the previous editions. Only 'The Tuggs's at Ramsgate' is included in a Sketches edition for the first time, not having been in the 1836 and 1837 editions.
