This is a wonderful and clean & very well kept edition of the Essays of Elia and Eliana by Charles Lamb. The memoir was written by Barry Cronwall, his friend and confidant. It is quite revealing. This wonderful old book was published by George Bell & Sons, York Street, at Covent Gardens London in 1891. There are 402 pages. Pages are in excellent condition, cover in very good condition, with just a few rubs on the corners. Front face page and the first page has light spots on it & there are a few scattered here and there. Not bad to be 117 years old at all! Please see all photos as I have included a closeup of this one section. The rest of the book is in excellent condition, easily readable, strong in the binding and the cover is a gorgeous blue with gold lettering. Truly, someone has treasured this book and was a great steward for its well kept appearance as this book is 117 years old!

I have several more photos of it. Please email me if you are interested in seeing them.

Online Research on Charles Lamb-1775-1834-author:

"The son of a London clerk, Charles Lamb was educated at Christ's Hospital (1782-89); there he befriended Coleridge, who published Lamb's verse in his Poems (1796, 1797). Lamb found employment as a clerk in the East India House, where he remained until retirement in 1825. Cheerful amid sorrow, he suffered a brief period mental illness, and from 1796 cared for his sister Mary, who had killed their mother in a fit of insanity. Their Tales from Shakespeare (1807) was a great success, as were Lamb's Essays of Elia, most of which originally in the London Magazine in 1820-22."

Book measures 5.25 inches tall by 3.5 inches wide and is 1 inch thick.

Great gift giving condition for a true lover of antique books~!
