See Bleak House. First paragraph.

Just for the record, you mean the first paragraph of Dickens' preface, NOT the first graph of the book proper which is spent describing a scene of mud and fog, which also sets the book up very well.

You’re right. It’s the sixth paragraph after the preface.

Probably one of the best book intros in English Literature.
