“In this volume Lamb’s poems have been chronologically arranged, and the reader can trace the various events of the poet’s life in his works.”—N. Y. Examiner.
“Mr. Ainger’s work has been most intelligently and satisfactorily performed. The edition is one which may be safely recommended for accuracy and completeness.”—Boston Courier.
“This volume will give endless pleasure to thousands—making Lamb no longer a mere name, but a friend. Those readers who know Lamb as a poet only by his verses, few in number, but of exquisite beauty, will be surprised at discovering the range of his poetic power. The prose Essays in this volume abound in delightful humor.”—Providence Journal.
The London Academy says: “Last year we had the incomparable ‘Elia’—here we get all of Lamb’s miscellaneous writings that he had himself selected for preservation in a permanent shape. None will ever want a more satisfactory edition than this. For the benefit of the curious we must add that Mr. Ainger here prints for the first time a copy of Album Verses, written for Mrs. De Morgan, and a letter to Dodwell, Lamb’s old fellow clerk in the India House.”
