summary:
  Poems on Various Subjects, by S. T. Coleridge (included four sonnets signed C. L., described in the preface as by Mr. Charles Lamb of the India House). Charles Lamb was the son of John Lamb, who had left his native Lincolnshire--probably from the neighbourhood of Stamford--as a child, and who finally found himself attached to one Samuel Salt, a Bencher of the Inner Temple, in the capacity of his clerk, his good servant, his dresser, his friend, his 'flapper,' his guide, stop-watch, auditor, treasurer.

  Reprinted here, for the first time, is a little essay on _Needle-work_ (regarded from an industrial, not an art point of view), by Mary Lamb (p. 186), unearthed from an obscure and long-deceased periodical--_The British Lady's Magazine_--for which I have to thank Mr. Edward Solly, For, having in his old age drifted into an almshouse at Newcastle, the tale of his wanderings and his woes found its way into print and finally into Hone's _Every Day Book_, where, meeting the eyes of Charles and Mary Lamb, it awakened in both old memories which took shape in the sketch called _Captain Starkey_.

Stratford are clear enough; but what motives determined his course _to_ London, and especially to the stage, still remains to be explained.
