Van Duzer: "In June, 1842, Thackeray visited Ireland. During his visit he met Charles Lever. 'The Irish Sketch Book,' the first of Thackeray's works brought out by Chapman & Hall, was the result of that visit. Like many of his writings it was signed by his familiar pseudonym, 'Michael Angeloe Titmarsh'; but in the dedication to Charles Lever, dated, 'London, April 27, 1843,' his name first appeared in connection with the published books: 'Laying aside for a moment the travelling-title of Mr. Titmarsh, let me ... subscribe myself, my dear Lever, most sincerely and gratefully yours, W. M. Thackeray.'"
