I do not find anywhere the "cut" at Lamb from Hazlitt's hand, or indeed any one's hand, to which Lamb refers. Hazlitt at this time was living at No. 19 York Street, Westminster, in Milton's old house.
"Agni-nomen." From agnus, a lamb.
"After all, Mr. Wordsworth …"—the Edinburgh Review article on The Excursion, in November, 1814, beginning, "This will never do," had at least two lapses into fairness: "But the truth is, that Mr. Wordsworth, with all his perversities, is a person of great powers"; and "Nobody can be more disposed to do justice to the great powers of Mr. Wordsworth than we are."
"The printing of your Letter." The Letter to a Friend of Burns (see above).
"2 vols. of Essays." These were printed with poems as The Works of Charles Lamb by the Olliers in 1818 (see later).
"Crispin"—Gifford (see note to the letter to Wordsworth, early January, 1815).
"Southey." Hazlitt's attacks on the Laureate were continuous.]
LETTER 233
MARY LAMB TO SARAH HUTCHINSON
[No date. Middle of November, 1816.]
Inner Temple.
