160. For Better, for Worse. Serialized: Temple Bar, Jan-Sept 1861. [A novel ‘edited’ by Yates. CBEL credits him also with the authorship, but in his Preface to the first edition he states that his ‘connexion with it has been confined to . . . “seeing it through the press”‘ and implies that the anonymous author was a woman. In RB (2:59) he says the novel was the work of a clergyman’s wife, an ex-Quaker; the novel itself seems to bear this out.]

In fact it is highly unlikely that he actually wrote any of these sketches of celebrities himself, and his editorship of the volumes was probably at best nominal.]
