_Note._ On pages 428-9, Vol. III., appears Lamb’s criticism on “De
Foe’s Works of Genius.” [Mr. Wilson says: “The following remarks
upon De Foe’s Works of Genius are from the pen of the Author’s
highly esteemed friend, Charles Lamb, and are original.”] Pages
636, 7, 8, 9, Lamb’s remarks on “De Foe’s Secondary Novels” appear.
These are of so characteristic a nature that they are well worth
perusal. [Wilson adds: “To recall the attention of the public to
his other fictions, the present writer is happy to enrich his work
with some original remarks upon his Secondary Novels, by his early
friend Charles Lamb, whose competency to form an accurate judgment
upon the subject, no one will doubt who is acquainted with his
genius.”]
