Specifically it includes "The South-Sea House" "Christ's Hospital Five and Thirty Years Ago" "Dream-Children; A Reverie" and "Modern Gallantry" among others. Lamb a long-time clerk for the British East India Company began writing essays under the pseudonym "Elia" which he derived from a former colleague's surname. Lamb wrote in a colloquial and conversational style that made his essays beloved by his Edwardian and Victorian readers. Additionally Lamb included many of his friends and family in his writing loosely disguised by initials and pseudonyms. Mary Lamb Charles' sister and co-author of the popular Tales from Shakespeare 1807 appears as "Cousin Bridget." This first collection of Lamb's essays was complemented with a second volume in 1833 entitled The Last Essays of Elia: Being a Sequel to Essays Published under that Name. Interestingly while the American edition of the first collection published by Carey Lea and Carey in Philadelphia was preceded by this first British edition by five years the American issue of the second collection preceded its British counterpart; less restricted by copyright laws in the United States the American publishers were able to issue both Elia volumes simultaneously in 1828. . 1st Edition.
