Excerpt from book: SELECTED ESSAYS OF LAMB I. THE SOUTH-SEA HOUSE Reader, in thy passage from the Bank?where thou Bast been receiving thy half-yearly dividends (supposing thou art a lean annuitant like myself)?to the Flower Pot, to secure a place for Dalston, or Shackle- well, or some other thy suburban retreat northerly, ? 5 didst thou never observe a melancholy-looking, handsome, brick and stone edifice, to the left?where Thread- needle Street abuts upon Bishopsgate? I daresay thou hast often admired its magnificent portals ever gaping wide, and disclosing to view a grave court, with clois- 10 ' ters, and pillars, with few or no traces of goers-in or comers-out?a desolation something like Balclutha's. This was once a house of trade, ?a center of busy interests. The throng of merchants was here?the quick pulse of gain?and here some forms of business are 15 still kept up, though the soul be long since fled. Here are still to be seen stately porticoes; imposing staircases; offices roomy as the state apartments in palaces ?deserted, or thinly peopled with a few straggling clerks; the still more sacred interiors of court and 20 committee-rooms, with venerable faces of beadles, doorkeepers?directors seated in form on solemn days (to 1. the Bank: the Bank of England, Threadneedle Street, London. 4. the Flower Pot: an old inn near the South-Sea House, from which the coaches started. proclaim a dead dividend), at long worm-eaten tables, that have been mahogany, with tarnished gilt-leather coverings, supporting massy silver inkstands long since dry;?the oaken wainscots hung with pictures of de- 5 ceased governors and sub-governors, of Queen Anne, and the two first monarchs of the Brunswick dynasty; ?huge charts, which subsequent discoveries have antiquated;?dusty maps of Mexico, dim as dreams, .

Excerpt from Selected Essays of Charles Lamb: Edited, With Introduction and Notes A vast number of young people owe their first introduction to Shakespeare to Charles and Mary Lamb, whose graphic and discriminating "Tales from Shakespeare" have familiarized readers of succeeding generations with the principal dramas of the great master. This indebtedness to Lamb and his sister may well inspire a desire for a more intimate acquaintance with their lives and a more extended study of Lamb's writings. It is with the hope of increasing the regard of such as already partially know him, and of awakening an interest in those to whom he is a stranger, that the editor has prepared the present compilation from Lamb's "Essays." Perhaps nothing would have amused Lamb more than the idea of making selections from his works; but it is due to him to show the many-sided quality of his genius, as well as the conditions and circumstances out of which it was developed. It is impossible to understand Lamb's work thoroughly without a definite knowledge of his life and surroundings. No character study in English literature exceeds his in interest, because his life, his essays, and his letters are inseparably interwoven.

Excerpt from Selected Essays of Charles Lamb: Edited, With Introduction and Notes A man is known by the friends he attracts. By this we do not mean mere acquaintances, but those who know and love him dearly. Charles Lamb had for his intimate friend, throughout his life, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Leigh Hunt, who was two years his junior at Christ's Hospital, was also his lifelong friend. Southey, whom he met after gradua tion, was another close friend. Wordsworth, whom Lamb delighted in calling an Old Laker, was also an intimate, while William Hazlitt, Bernard Barton, B. W. Procter, and several others might be mentioned in this first group.

Charles Lamb (1775-1834), essayist, poet, humorist, critic and letter-writer, has an enduring reputation for his early "Tales from Shakespeare" (1807), written in collaboration with his sister Mary, and his " Essays of Elia," first published in the "London Magazine." This thematic selection of Lamb's writings - essays, dramatic criticism, verse and letters - not only demonstrates his literary achievements; it forms a self-portrait of the writer: generous, amused, and gregarious, finding imaginative escape from grim circumstances in the teeming life of London and the theatre. The reader is drawn into the circle of Lamb's friends, enjoying the company of the most personal of English essayists. J.E. Morpurgo's introduction and notes set Lamb's writings in their contemporary context.
