'The Predatory Art,' by Henry Morley, the lead article in the 14 March 1857 issue of Household Words, contained the following inaccurate and unfair allusion to the Secretary of the Samaritan Institution: 'I sink to a bathos if I name the good Samaritan who stood by one of the way-sides in a great city, and made application to the rich for food and drink, that he might give them to the poor, but maintained his own kitchen therewith, and sent away unaided and uncomforted many a neighbour who, even in the very house of that Samaritan, had fallen among thieves.' Dickens wrote 'Chips: The Samaritan Institution' as a disclaimer.

The comic device of a distracted search for a frequently named but always elusive figure which Dickens uses in this entertaining diatribe against portentous gossips prefigures Twemlow's bewildered attempts to identify the Veneerings' 'oldest friend' in Our Mutual Friend.

Dickens probably wrote the concluding paragraph of 'Duelling in France.' Dickens may also have rewritten or added to the opening paragraph.
In addition, Dickens seems to have pruned, smoothed, and otherwise edited the piece. He may be the author of some of the transition sentences and summary passages; for example, the passage beginning, 'but, the gendarmes came', and ending 'conceivable and inconceivable cause' (p. 619). And he may be responsible for pointing some of the brief antidueling comments and for sharpening some of the acid opinions scattered through the article. See, for instance, such phrases as the following: from 'such savage, ruthless, uncivilised fellows' to 'sanguinary times' (p. 614); 'or, more properly speaking, murderers' (p. 615); 'or rather to assassinate' (p. 615) ; 'and celebrated cut-throats' (p. 615) ; from 'so little' to 'repudiate crime' (p. 617); 'of what we would call blackguardism' (p. 618). Since the Contributors' Book lists Dickens as joint author, and since he seems to have added little original matter, he probably made a great many minor emendations and deletions.
Dickens may also have made a more fundamental contribution to the article; he may have suggested the topic and some of the episodes recounted. In his early writings he had mocked the practice of dueling, and he owned a two-volume History of Duelling (1841) by John Gideon Millingen, M.D. (1782-1862), a book which served as the source for much of the article. This source contains many errors of fact, misspellings of names, and confusions of dates - all of which are repeated in the article. Dr. Millingen, an old acquaintance, had proposed Dickens for membership in the Garrick Club, a body to which he was elected on 21 January 1837.
