Charles Dickens launched Household Words in March 1850, and it was soon selling 40,000 copies a week. The journals works covered varying topics of current affairs, as well as exploratory subjects of literature. Many of the stories went in without the authors name.
The recent discovery of authors attachment to their works has been through Dicken's letters.
Dickens' preface sets out his aspirations for Household Words:
'Disappearances' was a short essay first published by Elizabeth Gaskell in the June 1851 publication of Charles Dicken's journal, Household Words. The essay explored the disappearances of 6 men throughout the nineteenth century and how their stories could have played out differently if the London Detective Police was formed earlier. While Gaskell acknowledges the skills of the new Detective Police, she coherently addresses the concerns she has over the type of change they will constitute in the political sphere, as well as in literature.

Arthur's Seat is an ancient volcano and is the main peak of a group of hills that form Holyrood Park. It is located to the east of Edinburgh. It is mentioned in legends surrounding King Arthur like Y Gododdin.
It is mentioned in Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland by Dorothy Wordsworth when she says, "We set out upon our walk, and went through many streets to Holyrood House, and thence to the hill called Arthur’s Seat, a high hill, very rocky at the top, and below covered with smooth turf, on which sheep were feeding."
