The number of ladies who were seen to enter my house on those days must have made the neighbours fancy I was indemnifying myself for your absence at a nice rate. You are sure to hear of it on your return.’ A pigeon pie supplied by Mrs Jeafferson has been ‘polished off in no time’ by him and ‘the boys’. He wishes he could have ‘added my little quota’ to her birthday presents but ‘Jack’ brought something with him ‘from the Exhibition’.

Philadelphia : Carey Lea and Carey 1828. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 7" by 4.5". None. An unauthorised first American edition of the collected essays of Charles Lamb. Very scarce in the publisher's original boards. The essays in the collection first began appearing in The London Magazine in 1820 and continued to 1825. Lamb's essays were highly popular and were printed in many subsequent editions throughout the nineteenth century. The personal and conversational tone of the essays has charmed many readers; the essays "established Lamb in the title he now holds that of the most delightful of English essayists." Lamb himself is the Elia of the collection and his sister Mary is "Cousin Bridget." Charles first used the pseudonym Elia for an essay on the South Sea House where he had worked decades earlier; Elia was the last name of an Italian man who worked there at the same time as Charles and after that essay the name stuck. American editions of both the Essays and the Last Essays were published in Philadelphia in 1828. At the time American publishers were unconstrained by nuisances like copyright law and often reprinted materials from English books and periodicals; so the American collection of the Last Essays preceded its British counterpart by five years. In a quarter cloth binding with paper covered boards. Expertly rebacked with gilt titling to spine. Externally worn though spine remains smart. Front hinge held by cords only. Internally generally firmly bound. One or two unopened pages. Slight age-toning to pages and some spotting. Very Good Carey, Lea, and Carey hardcover
