" The genius of Mr. Lamb, as developed in his various writings, takes rank 

 with the most original of the age. As a critic he stands facile princeps in the sub- 

 jects he handled. Search English literature through, from its first beginnings 

 until now, and you will find none like him. There is not a criticism he ever wrote 

 that does not directly tell you a number of things you had no previous notion of. 

 In criticism he was, indeed, in all senses of the word, a discoverer like Vasco, 

 Nunez, or Magellan. In that very domain of literature with which you fancied 

 yourself most variously and closely acquainted, he would show you ' 'fresh fields 

 and pastures new,' and these the most fruitful and delightful. For the riches he 

 discovered were richer that they had lain so deep the -more valuable were they, 

 when found, that they had eluded the search of ordinary men. As an ^sdyist, 

 Charles Lamb will be remembered in years to come with Rabelais and MojKaigne, 

 with Sir Thomas Browne, with Steele and with Addison. He unites many of the 

 finest characteristics of these several writers. He has wisdom and wit of the 

 highest order, exquisite humour, a genuine and cordial vein of pleasantry, and the 

 most heart-touching pathos. In the largest acceptation of the word, he is a 

 humanist." JOHN FORSTER.
