Augustus Dickens

Augustus Newnham Dickens (10 November 1827 – 4 October 1866) was the youngest brother of English novelist Charles Dickens, and the inspiration for his pen name 'Boz'.
==Early life==
Augustus Dickens was the son of John Dickens, a clerk in the Navy Pay Office at Portsmouth, and his wife, Elizabeth (''née'' Barrow).〔(Dickens Family Tree website )〕 Charles Dickens's pen name, 'Boz', was actually taken from his youngest brother's family nickname 'Moses', given to him in honour of one of the brothers in ''The Vicar of Wakefield'' (one of the most widely read novels in the early 19th century), which when playfully pronounced through the nose became corrupted as 'Boses', and later shortened to 'Boz' – pronounced with a long vowel 'o' through the nose.〔("Augustus Dickens" in ''The Chicago Herald'', 19 February 1895 )〕
In 1844, Charles Dickens wrote to Chapman & Co., a shipping merchant, trying to obtain a position for Augustus, saying "I have a young brother recently come up from a good school at Exeter, and now living, with his father, at Greenwich...He is quick and clever: has never given trouble to anybody: and has been well brought up."〔(Dickens on the Midwest Antiquarian Booksellers Association website )〕
In 1845 and 1847, Augustus performed in Charles Dickens's amateur theatricals while continuing to work for Chapman & Co. In 1848, Charles Dickens invited Thomas Chapman, his brother's employer, to Augustus's wedding and "to breakfast with us on the day of Augustus' marriage to Harriett Lovell at Trinity Church, Marylebone, on 5 December 1848.〔
