Beschreibung

[4], 340pp. Without half-title. [Uniformly bound with:] LAMB, Charles. Elia. Second series. London. Edward Moxon, 1836. New edition, xiii, [3], 295pp, [1]. With half-title. 8vo. Handsomely bound in later burgundy half-morocco, marbled boards, gilt. Slightest of rubbing to extremities. Bookplates of Robert J. Hayhurst to both FEPs, very small holes to margins of leaves E2-3 of Vol. I, very occasional marginal ink annotations, sporadic spotting. An attractive paring of both series of the collected essays of Charles Lamb (1775-1834). First published in book form in 1823 and 1833 respectively, the essays had initially appeared in John Scott's London Magazine between 1820 and 1825 under the pseudonym of Elia. Lamb drew upon his own experience and correspondence for the pieces, his dramatic persona allowing for the representation of a more naive and whimsical take on contemporary events.
