LAUREL-CROWNED LETTERS

CHARLES LAMB

It may well be that the "Essays of Elia" will be found to have kepttheir perfume, and the LETTERS OF CHARLES LAMB to retain their oldsweet savor, when "Sartor Resartus" has about as many readers asBulwer's "Artificial Changeling," and nine tenths even of "Don Juan"lie darkening under the same deep dust that covers the rarely troubledpages of the "Secchia Rapita."

A.C. SWINBURNE

No assemblage of letters, parallel or kindred to that in the handsof the reader, if we consider its width of range, the fruitful periodover which it stretches, and its typical character, has ever beenproduced.
