Charles and Mary Lambs writings, of which the present Tolume is the first, differs from others in seven Jrespects. It is the first to include a considerable namber of essays and poems hitherto unidentified or uncollected some sixty pages in all; it is the first to include the Dramatic Specimens and Garrick Extracts; and when the volumes containing the Letters are reached, they will be found to contain, in addition Xa other new letters, a fuller share of Mary Lambs correspondence than has previously been considered needfiiL The system of arrangement is also fresh, and in annotation a severer standard of thoroughness than other editors have thought necessary has been adopted.
