Charles Lamb (1775-1834) was an English essayist, poet, and antiquarian, best known for his 'Essays of Elia' and for the children's book 'Tales from Shakespeare' co-authored with his sister, Mary Lamb (1764-1847). Friends with such literary luminaries as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, and William Hazlitt, Lamb was at the center of a major literary circle in England. He has been referred to by E. V. Lucas, his principal biographer, as 'the most lovable figure in English literature'. NW51

306 p. + Engraved portrait of Lamb + Publisher's ads in front and back (8p.). Foxed. 12mo. 20 cm. Nice original cloth binding embossed with an arabesque design in blind. Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd (1795-1854), became an intimate of Lamb's literary circle beginning in 1815. His able performance as an advocate and judge allowed him to devote himself for over forty years to his avocations - poetry, theater criticism, and literary good-fellowship. He was the executor of Lamb's will. The 'Memoir' which enthusiasts of Lamb owe to Talfourd was issued in two portions. The first, in 1837 under the title 'Letters of Charles Lamb'. The second was this work, published after an interval of eleven years. In England it was titled 'Final Memorials of Charles Lamb'. It consists mainly of letters to Coleridge and Wordsworth, with biographical comment by Talfourd. The two works were first incorporated in 1868, and have been frequently republished. First American edition. Lamb introduced Talfourd to Wordsworth with the comment that Talfourd was "my one admirer." **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W140

8vo., First Edition thus, with decorative title and pictorial endpapers; early series binding of maroon full leatherette, upper board blocked in gilt, gilt back, gilt top, radial corners, ribbon marker, a near fine copy. FIRST APPEARANCE IN EVERYMAN. The most elaborate of the four original binding styles, full leatherette was introduced at the commencement of the series and discontinued around 1919 (see Seymour pp.103). Due to the delicate nature of the material, really bright, crisp copies are now genuinely elusive. VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. EL 14; Seymour 604.0.
