The Life, Letters, and Writings of Charles Lamb.
London: John Slark, 1886. 6 volume set, 7 1/2 inches tall. A most good looking Victorian full calf binding with gilt raised bands, twin labels and extra gilt panels. Portrait. Some loss to the head cap of the third volume. Best know for his 'Tales from Shakespeare' and 'Essays of Elia', Charles Lamb was at the heart of a major English literary circle, which included Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Robert Southey, William Wordsworth, Dorothy Wordsworth and William Hazlitt. His great biographer, E. V. Lucas described him as "the most lovable figure in English literature".
