Charles Dickens mirror

Dickens toured the world, performing public readings of his works, and that
included fan-favorite A Christmas Carol. His first public reading of that
work on American soil happened in Boston in 1867, at the Tremont Temple. But
just before that, he did a private reading to a group of literati called the
Saturday Club at the Omni Parker House Hotel just around the
corner.
Dickens stayed at the hotel during his tour of America in 1867
and 1868, and he would practice his readings in his third-floor room in front of
a large gilded mirror.
Today, the Omni Parker is still there on School
Street, right across from King's Chapel, and you can go and see that mirror...and
maybe a whole lot more.
