Townshend studied under Dr. John Elliotson, a leading practitioner of mesmerism who helped establish University College Hospital as well as the city\u2019s Phrenology Society. In 1840, Dr. Elliotson introduced Townshend to another of his brightest students: Charles Dickens.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A life-long friendship ensued. Townshend, a poet, dedicated his 1859 collection, <em>Three Gates<\/em>, to Dickens; it has been suggested that Dickens\u2019s affection for his friend and his maladies led to the characters of Cousin Feenix in <em>Dombey and Son<\/em> and Mr. Twemlow in <em>Our Mutual Friend<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Dickens began publishing <em>Great Expectations <\/em>as a serial novel in his periodical <em>All the Year Round <\/em>in December of 1860. In 1861, he inscribed the bound copy of the original manuscript and gave it to Townshend; on Townshend\u2019s death, it was bequeathed to the Wisbech &amp; Fenland Museum, near the Townshend family estate, where it has resided ever since.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Manuscript-Great-Expectations-Townshend-Collection\/dp\/1108034403\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1326471167&amp;sr=8-1\">facsimile edition of the manuscript<\/a> has been published by Cambridge University Press, to celebrate Dickens\u2019s two hundredth birthday.
