 Lamb, the fine-minded and noble-hearted 

 Elia, expired at his house at Edmonton. His 

 death was rather sudden, and was hastened 

 by an accident which he met with a few days 

 before. While taking his customary morn- 

 ing walk on the London road, his foot slipped, 

 and befell, striking his face against some 

 stones, so as to wound it severely. Mr. 

 Lamb sustained a severe shock in the loss 

 of his, perhaps, oldest and dearest friend, 

 Coleridge, to whom he so recently paid the 

 last tribute of mortality— with whom he has 

 so soon been re-united. No man was ever 

 more loved and honoured in life than Charles 

 Lamb; his audience was fit, though few. 

 His exquisite honour, his refined and subtle 

 thought, his admirable critical powers— the 

 fancy, the feeling, the wit that gave a cha- 

 racter to his essays quite unique — 



" All were but ministers of love. 

 And fed his sacred flame ;" 



that love which embraces humanity— the 

 sympathy that encircles the whole family of 

 life. Mr. Lamb was in his sixty-first year. 

 He has left a memory to which years will 

 but add grace and lustre.
