*Master Humphrey's Clock* was an ambitious weekly literary magazine published by Dickens himself.

The narrator is Master Humphrey , not "churlish" and not a "misanthrope", who describes his daily life and his encounters with vivid characters including Mr. Pickwick. The clock is his old companion, where he stores manuscripts.
