Excerpt from The Best Letters of Charles LambIn this edition of the correspondence of Charles Lamb, that of his sister, Mary Lamb, is for the first time included. In it also appear for the first time between seventy and eighty letters, many of them of the highest importance; and it is the first edition to take note in chronological order of those letters printed by other editors that are not available for the present volumes: a step which should, I think, add to the biographical value of the work.In these two volumes I have, after much consideration, placed my notes at the end of each letter, rather than, as in the five preceding volumes, at the end of the book. My reason for doing so was twofold: in the first place, to serve the convenience of the reader, to whom annotation of the correspondence is often a necessity, and not, as in the case of the other writings, a luxury; and in the second place, because by joining the letters with a few words of commentary they can be made practically into a consecutive Life. The self-conscious deliberate construction of Lamb's essays and poems, each a work of art, forbade the introduction of footnotes that might distract the attention from the true matter of the text: hence, in the preceding five volumes, such remarks as the editor had to make will be found sharply separated from the authors part of the book. But here, where Lamb is often writing without premeditation, with a running pen, and writing moreover for a single reader, it seemed to me that the impropriety of interrupting the correspondence by elucidatory comments was so slight as to be almost non-existent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. curious after reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by [Mary Ann Shaffer By laura hornberger I had never heard of Charles Lamb--what kind of liberal arts education did I receive!! Was curious after falling in love with Mary Ann Shaffers' book & felt deep disappointment she would never be telling me a story again! So decided to explore the connecting point for her story: a book by Charles Lamb. Reading him is like curling up with a cup of tea and an old friend. Will go back to again & again Thank you Mary Ann Shaffer!
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Not the book to be introduced to Lamb By Rainbow Traveler Having seen him referenced in countless crossword puzzles, I decided to find out who Charles Lamb (pen name - Elia) was. I found this book on Amazon and bought it, hoping to become acquainted with his works.The letters appear to be too personal in reference for me to understand, not knowing him, his history, works or acquaintances. Surely, a student of Lamb would find this collection more interesting or appealing. I sadly closed the book in less than 25 pages,hoping to find another book which gives me a more general impression of his works.
