jo through the Revolution with feelings analogous to those who suffered in it , who wept in it , who boped in it , who were driven deeply bo reflect in it , and who ended hy concluding that there was good in
ts worst evil , and a tear due to svery sufferer , but not virtue or settled manhood enough in the ight and joyous French character ; o bring the question to its noblest
jlose , here let him suffer , and he exalted , and he depressed , and iwakened into the widest thoughts ipon the nature of himself and his luties with the most thoughtful leart now speaking among men .
Letters of Charles Lamb ; with a Sketch of his Life by Thomas Noon Talfourd , one of his Executors . 2 vols . 8 vo . Moxon . ) f dear , ever-honoured Charles Lramb , one of the most knowing of
nen by brain , one of the wisest > nd kindest by his heart , and one f the most innovation-hating from fragile body , these Letters will inrease the reputation , even with those pbo admired him most . They will how how little he was indebted to
" oleridge for . what was in him of ne serious kind ( his humour was © ver thought to be any other than iis own ); though it pleased him u a fit of affectionate modesty towards his old friend to father it all
