Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of Charles Lamb Since those days, what may be called the Lamb litera ture, in the shape of criticisms, collections, lives, &c., has increased to large proportions. So diligent has been the exertion of explorers, that some pieces, thought to have disappeared, or to be apocryphal, have been recovered. Much ingenuity and labour have been expended in this interesting pursuit; one long lost copy of the Poetry for Children was actually unearthed in some distant colony to great rejoicing. A few lines, quoted by Elia at the end of one of his essays, described a boy snatching a fearful joy from reading at a stall. This he quoted as the work of a poet of the day, but a critic sagaciously suggested that it was one of his favourite artful devices for veiling the authorship. It was in fact his sister's composition. Scattered little poems were found in a collection issued by the schoolmaster Mylius, and the indefatigable Mr Richard Herne Shepherd, who has written a useful bibliography of Lamb, contrived to bring together these fragments. The poetry for children, thus recovered, was reprinted for the curious amateur. During these latter years, however, yet another, and even, I think, a third copy, has turned up, which has been sold at auction for an enormous price.

Book Description
Excerpt from Charles Lamb: A Memoir The biography of charles lamb lies within a narrow compass. It comprehends only few events. His birth and parentage, and domestic sorrows; his acquaintance with remarkable men; his thoughts and habits; and his migrations from one home to another; constitute the sum and substance of his almost uneventful history.
