Book Description
PKEFATORY NOTE. THE writings of Charles Lamb abound in biographical matter. To them, and to the well-known volumes of the late Mr. Justice Talfourd, I am mainly indebted for the material of which this memoir is composed. I have added a complete list of the chief works from which information about Lamb and his sister has been obtained. I have also had the advantage of communica- tion with those who were personally acquainted with Lamb, and have received from others valuable assistance in exploring less known sources of information. Among those to whom my acknowledgments for much kindness are due, I would mention Mrs. Arthur Tween, a daughter of that old and loyal friend of the Lamb family, Mr. Randal Norris Mr. James Crossley, of Manchester Mr. Edward FitzGerald Mr. W. Aldis Wright and last, not least, my friend Mr. J. E. Davis, of the Middle Temple, whose kind interest in this little book has been un- failing. A. A. AUTHOKITIES CONSULTED. 1.

I WAS born and passed the first seven years of my lite in the Temple. Its church, its halls, its gardens, its foun- tain, its river, I had almost said for in those young years what was this king of rivers to me but a stream that watered our pleasant places these are of my oldest recollections. In this manner does Charles Lamb, in an es- say that is one of the masterpieces of English prose, open for us those passages of autobiography which happily abound in his writings. The words do more than fix places and dates. They strike the key in which his early life was set and the later life, hardly less. The genius of Lamb was surely guided into its special channel by the chance that the first fourteen years of his life were passed, as has been said, between cloister and cloister, between the medieval atmosphere of the quiet Temple and that of the busy school of Edward VL Charles Lamb was born on the 10th of February, 1775, in Crown Office Row in the Temple, the line of buildings ...

AN antique bust represents Homer as a blind, venerable man, his forehead radiantwith high thoughts, his face worn with the fervor of their long strain and stress. That likeness, and a few traditions, tell us all that we know of the great poet. When he was born, or where, or how he lived, axe mys- teries which we cannot hope to solve. The utmost we can learn is that he was a native of some part of Greece, and that upwards of a thousand years before Christ he was known as the singer siege of Troy and of the adventures of Ulysses, of the in a country where books had not yet begun to be nay, where there was yet no art of writing and no alphabet even, but where the poet wandered from place to place, reciting his moving verses, as the Egyptian Arabs still recite the stories of the Arabian Nights, to groups of wondering listeners sitting in a circle round their campfires on the sands. The legends which have come down to us describe the Poet as poor as well as blind, and as one whose greatness, like that of Shakespeare, was not fully recognized till after he was gone, so that the familiar lines may, perhaps, be true, which say Seven wealthy towns contend for Homer dead, Through which the living Homer begged his bread. VI HOMER AND THE ODYSSEY. It has been conjectured, with apparent good reason, that he must have at one time known what battles were from experience, or he could not have described the con- tests of the Greeks and Trojans with such vivid power and that he must also have roamed through many lands. or he could not have given us such a picture of the jour- neyings and exploits of Ulysses. Some have even supposed that in the hero of the Odys- sey we have the best portrait of Homer himself. If so, we know that he was not simply a poet, but, like Ulysses, a man of many resources and many devices a sort of Greek Yankee, always equal to the occasion, who could fight, sujg, or flatter his way through all difficulties, and was sure of success in the end. To understand and enjoy this little book of Charles Lambs, one must know something of what precedes it. Within a few years an indefatigable German, digging in the soil of Asia Minor on a part of the coast not far from the straits of Dardanelles, has brought to light not only extensive ruins, but also arms and jewels...Download Description
This work is designed as a supplement to the Adventures of Telemachus. It treats of the conduct and sufferings of Ulysses, the father of Telemachus. The picture which it exhibits is that of a brave man struggling with adversity; by a wise use of events, and with an inimitable presence of mind under difficulties, forcing out a way for himself through the severest trials to which human life can be exposed; with enemies natural and preternatural surrounding him on all sides. The agents in this tale, besides men and women, are giants, enchanters, sirens: things which denote external force or internal temptations, the twofold danger which a wise fortitude must expect to encounter in its course through this world. The fictions contained in it will be found to comprehend some of the most admired inventions of Grecian mythology.
