Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb, Vol. 6: Letters, 1796-1820
Private owners Of Lamb mss. In this country have been cheer fully willing that copies should be made; but I regret to say that my request for co-operation printed in the American literary papers met with no response. The view that the temporary owner of an original document Of an author so peculiarly the world's friend as Lamb is rather a steward Of the property than absolute possessor, seems as yet not to have obtained any great measure of popularity across the Atlantic. Since almost without exception the best mss. That now come into the market are bought for America, future editions, by conscientious editors, of the correspondence Of great Englishmen promise to be arduous enterprises.
