Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Essays of Elia This series of books aims, first, to give the English texts required for entrance to college in a form which shall make them clear, interesting, and helpful to those who are beginning the study of literature; and, second, to supply the knowledge which the student needs to pass the entrance examination. For these two reasons it is called The Gateway Series. The poems, plays, essays, and stories in these small volumes arc treated, first of all, as works of literature, which were written to be read and enjoyed, not to be parsed and scanned and pulled to pieces. A short life of the author is given, and a portrait, in order to help the student to know the real person who wrote the book. The introduction tells what it is about, and how it was written, and where the author got the idea, and what it means. The notes at the foot of the page are simply to give the sense of the hard words so that the student can read straight on without turning to a dictionary. The other notes, at the end of the book, explain difficulties and allusions and fine points. The editors are chosen because of their thorough training and special fitness to deal with the books committed to them, and because they agree with this idea of what a Gateway Series ought to be. They express, in each case, their own views of the books which they edit. Simplicity, thoroughness, shortness, and clearness, - these, we hope, will be the marks of the series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Essays of Elia Your lines are not to be understood reading on one leg. They are sinuous, and to be won with wrestling. I do assure you in sincerity that no thing you have done has given me greater satis faction. Your Obscurity, where you are dark, which is seldom, is that of too much meaning, not the painful Obscurity which no toil of the reader can dissipate; not the dead vacuum and floundering place in which imagination finds no footing: it is not the dimness of positive darkness, but of distance; and he that reads and not discerns must get a better pair of spectacles. I admire every piece in the collection. I cannot say the first is best: when I do so, the last read rises up in judgment. To your Mother, to your Sister, to Mary dead, they are all weighty with thought and tender with sentiment. Your poetry is like no other. Those cursed dryads and pagan trumperies of modern verse have put me out of conceit of the very name of poetry. Your verses are as good and as wholesome as prose, and I have made a sad blunder if I do not leave you with an impression that your present is rarely.

A slight accident brought on an attack of erysipelas, which proved fatal; his system was not strong enough for resistance. It is some consolation to add, that, during his illness, which lasted four days, he suffered no pain, and that his faculties remained with him to the last. A few words spoken by him the day before he died showed with what quiet collectedness he was prepared to meet death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays of Elia (Chosen) If you would read the works of Charles Lamb, you must know Charles Lamb the man, for he is the principal character in his own writings (at leash-those that we remember now and really care to read), and our love for the works and our love for the man are one and inseparable. The best a 'critic or biographer can do is to arrange Lamb's letters and essays in suitable order, and add a few hard facts here and there to make the connection plain. In'the heart of the old corporate city of London is a series of groups of buildings called the Inns Of Court.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays of Elia: And Other Pieces After leaving school Lamb lived at home, and worked first as a young clerk under his brother John in the South Sea House. Thus recollections o the South Sea House as well as of Christ's Hospital are in the Essays of Elia, which idealize with a wise practical humour the outward circumstances that shaped Lamb's inner life.

Assuredly I knew him more intimately than any other existing person, during the last seventeen or eighteen years of his life. In this predicament, and because I am proud to associate my name with his, I shall endeavour to recall former times, and to bring my old friend before the eyes of a new generation. I request the courteous reader to accept, for what they are worth, these desultory labours of a lover of letters; and I hope that the advocate for modern times Will try to admit into the circle of his sympathy my recollections of a fine Genius departed.
