Abstract
From Retrospection of an Active Life (New York, 1909) i, 254–5, 263–4, 278–9. Bigelow (1817–1911), politician, newspaper-editor, diplomat, author and historian, presided at the New York Press Club dinner in Thackeray’s honour, 4 Dec 1852, and met him subsequently in London and elsewhere. Thackeray, encountering him in 1862 in Paris, where he was American Consul-general, found him ‘as jolly as ever’ (LPP, iv. 265).
