The Best Letters of Charles Lamb

Excerpt

It may well be that the “Essays of Elia” will be found to have kept
their perfume, and the LETTERS OF CHARLES LAMB to retain their old

Bulwer’s “Artificial Changeling,” and nine tenths even of “Don Juan”
lie darkening under the same deep dust that covers the rarely troubled
pages of the “Secchia Rapita.”
