“As Mr. Lucas has shown himself to be the ideal editor and annotator in his recently-published seven-volume edition of Lamb’s works, so here he demonstrated his unequalled qualifications as a compiler of all discoverable material bearing on the life-history of his chosen author. A few slight errors of execution, amid so much excellence of design, may be noted for correction in a second edition.” Percy F. Bicknell.
