'*The least drcumstanoe connected with Elia is of such interest to all his readers that Mr. Dobell's book should have a huge public : and no editor or biographer of Lamb can afibrd to be without it.*'— E. V. Lucas, hi TU Bookman, •' Blr. Bertram Dobell, in compiling the book which he fittingly calls 'Sidelights on Charles Lamb* has done good service to lovers of the most loveable of English essavists. . . . With or without its blemishes we are grateful to Mr. Dobell for the work he has here accomplished.**— Afoin^ Post,
- Mr. Dobell is nothing if not a devoted Elian, and in pronouncing
these articles and fragments to have come from the pen of the great essajrist he relies upon intuition. . . • Mr. Dobell has dressed them in lumdsome form, and we think his book will rank in standard « Eliana ' as the most important contribution since the appearance of Mr. Babson's volume forty years ago.*'— Ai/J Mtdl Gasette. "No indulgence is required for Mr. ^Dobell's 'Sidelights on Charles Lamb,* which is by no means a bad book, but a quite agreeable book, a collector's book, a book of genial hobbies and loving research."— 7A« Timss.
