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.

Mr. Lamb's "Works." It must be borne in mind that Lamb published these essays not under his own name but under the assumed signature of Elia; hence his reference to another paper of his own, as if it were the work of some one else. In ESSAYS OF ELIA--12 177 Recollections of Christ's Hospital, to which he refers, he gives a eulogistic account of his old school, much after the manner of a commendatory circular, but designed in part to defend it against...
