A curious fact concerning this is that the second series was
reprinted five years before the English Edition appeared. It was
done by some one who did not know Lamb’s style thoroughly, as
several of his best Essays were not included, and others, not his,
were, viz.: “Nuns and Ale of Caverswell,” by Allan Cunningham, and
“Valentine’s Day,” “Twelfth Night: or What you Will,” by B. W.
Procter.
