Excerpt from Lamb and Hazlitt: Further Letters and Records Hitherto Unpublished
In the autumn of 1898 a circumstance occurred which placed in my hands a remarkable assemblage of papers illustrative of the lives of Charles Lamb and William Hazlitt. A very old and intimate friend of the present writer and of his father, and a warm admirer of the essayist and critic of our name, the late Mr. Raymond Yates, shortly before his death, did me the favour to restore to us certain letters and other documents which my father presented to him, it now appears, in 1838, and of which the existence or whereabouts was previously unknown. The acquisition of this small treasure coincided with my independent ownership by gradual means of several other inedited pieces by both authors, and it seemed to be worth while, and even expedient, to take steps to preserve them from destruction.
