“Here certainly is the largest, richest edition of the ‘Letters’ which has been published, clearly superior to some in size, to others in the quality and scope of the notes, and to all as a book that is easy and pleasant to read. In short, Mr. Lucas seems to come near to an inaccessible perfection, as well as to have produced the best edition of the ‘Letters’.”

“Mr. Lucas’s copious and most interesting notes are the fruit of years of loving study and research. To him Lamb is indeed ‘Saint Charles’; yet his chief editorial merit lies, perhaps, in giving us Saint Charles un-canonized.” William Archer.
