This work contains much new matter relating to Charles Lamb, his works and his friends. It comprises a number of essays, poems, and short articles, some of which are certainly by Lamb, while others are probably his. One of them, which is undoubtedly by Lamb, tells, under the guise of a humorous fiction, the story of a curious and hitherto unknown incident in the author's life. Other pieces contained in the volume, whether written by Lamb, or by imitators of his style, will be found to be of quite remarkable interest and curiosity.

It is remarkable for its ease, spirit, eloquence, and suppleness--qualities which are not often found in combination in the writers of that period. _Small 4to, cloth extra, 7s. 6d._ THE POEMS OF WILLIAM STRODE [1602-1645] Now first collected from Manuscript and Printed Sources, together with his Play entitled THE FLOATING ISLAND _NOW FIRST REPRINTED_
