THE LIFE, LETTERS, AND WRITINGS OF CHARLES LAMB.
Edited by PERCY FITZGERALD, M.A., F.S.A.
This is the first Complete Edition of “Lamb’s Life and Writings” that has been offered to the public. The Memoir by Talfourd, with the “Final Memorials,” has been combined, while all the curious and interesting information that has come to light since he wrote has been added in the form of Notes, thus supplying a complete view of Lamb’s career. The letters have been placed with the rest of the correspondence, where also will be found many hitherto unprinted and uncollected letters. The miscellaneous pieces comprise many new articles in prose and verse, while a full Index to the Life, Works, and Letters will be given at the end of the last volume.
