把这一句，留给此刻的你

Between Scott on the earlier side and Dickens and Thackeray on the other, there was an immense production of novels, illustrated by not a few names which should rank high in the second class, while some would promote more than one of them to the first.

在早期的史考特和狄更斯、萨克雷之间，有大量的小说作品，其中不少小说的名字应该排在第二类小说的前列，而有些则会把其中不止一个提升到第一类。
