Harper's began serializing Our Mutual Friend in the June 1864 edition of Harper's. The first installment included the first four chapters of the novel (identical to the British serials), and was accompanied by a deceptively younger portrait of the aging Dickens. Guernsey published the first American review of Our Mutual Friend in his monthly column, "Editor's Easy Chair."
