Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... NOTES Any edition of the Essays of Elia to-day must acknowledge its indebtedness for explanatory matter to the editions of Canon Ainger (1883) and E. V. Lucas (1903). Mr. Lucas's edition ought, above all others, to be accessible to students, not only for the sake of its full annotation, but for new information concerning the Lambs there brought to light, for its most zealous tracing of quotations used by Lamb, and for its interesting reproductions of title-pages and of pictures alluded to by Lamb. In this text Canon Ainger's notes are marked by the initial, Mr. Lucas's by the full name, while Lamb's own notes appear at the foot of the text pages. THE SOUTH-SEA HOUSE {London Magazine, August, 1820.) Note 1. Charles Lamb left Christ's Hospital in the year 1789, at the age of fourteen, and at some date within the next two years he obtained a situation in the South-Sea House. His father's employer, Samuel Salt, the Bencher of the Inner Temple, was a Deputy-Governor of the South-Sea House at the time, and it was doubtless by the influence of this kind friend that the appointment was obtained. Charles's elder brother, John, was already a clerk in the office. In the Royal Calendar for 1792, John Lamb's name appears as holding the position of Deputy-Accountant. Other of the names mentioned by Lamb in this Essay are also found in the official records of the day, -- John Tipp, on whose promotion to the office of Accountant (as "John Tipp, Esq."), John Lamb succeeded to the post just mentioned; W. Evans, Deputy-Cashier in 1791; Thomas Tame, Deputy-Cashier in 1793; and Richard Plumer, Deputy-Secretary in 1800. Lamb's fondness for gratuitous mystification is thus curiously illustrated in the insinuation towards the close of the Essay that the names...
