Evidence:
Elizabeth Barrrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 2 June 1837: 'I agree with you in thinking Pickwick admirable -- but I have not read every number [...] what is striking in him is his wonderful individuality -- He never or seldom sacrifices the natural to the comic -- but wins the jest from Nature without stealing it. No one could pass a character of his in the street without bowing.'
