Excerpt from Charles Lamb: His Homes and Haunts IN preparing this simple story of the life and work of Charles Lamb, I have relied upon the best of the biographies and criticisms that have been issued since his death, and have not hesitated to refer to Opinions, recollections, and records published during his life. Among the authors consulted are Edward Moxon, who married Elia's adopted daughter, Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd, Percy Fitzgerald, Canon Ainger, the Right Hon. Augustine Birrell, R. D. Gillman, and E. V. Lucas. I have paid several visits to Elia's country: to Buntingford, where he held his first and only freehold; to Widford, where Mrs. Field is buried; to Blakesware and Edmonton. For some years I lived on the top oor of Mitre Court Buildings, from which Lamb could see the white sails glide by the bottom of the King's Bench Walks, and in Harcourt Buildings by the side of Crown Office Row in the Temple, where he was born. I have often tried to follow his road to the East India House, to Dalston, Islington, Enfield, Edmonton, and the other haunts he loved or favoured. If this brief and simple record of one of the most lovable of men and writers can add a few names to the ever lengthening list of his admirers, a very real debt will have been partly paid.
