... I love your daughter fondly, dearly, disinterestedly, devotedly.
This is the first time I have come across a usage of 'disinterested love'. I have heard of disinterested opinion and a disinterested judge but never its usage with love. I don't even know whether it is a nice thing to tell someone, still I like it a lot!

It means without any other 'interest'. Dickens wrote in the 1800's. The english of back then was quite a bit different than now.
Despite his slightly long-winded way, reading Dickens give a fantastic insight on character, even this, is an example.
To love someone for them, not because it is in their 'interest' to do so.
