Excerpt from Sidelights on Charles Lamb
Among prose writers the very greatest name since Montaigne's is that of Charles Lamb. It is not that these are so much better than all others, but that in their own field of work they are always at their best. Therefore to collect every prose scrap of the most original, the most whimsical, and the most quintessential of English prose writers is to confer a boon upon English readers. For there is not a single newspaper paragraph by him in which the reader may not expect to come upon some delightful Lambism, rich with a ¿avour of self-pleasing quaintness,' to be found nowhere else. - The Atkenceum, Jan. 12, 1878.
