Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good-. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket. First Edition; First Printing. Light cock, light tone, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover. ; Gift inscription from editor, Elizabeth Deering Hanscom, one of the first PhD women to graduate from Yale.

If excuse be needed for this volume, it is to be found in this fact. It seemed possible to select and unite such essays as were more directly autobiographical, adding to these a series of annotations, taken largely from the works of Lamb and his contemporaries, and thus to throw, if not new, yet stronger, light on the personality of the gentle Elia." - Preface by Elizabeth Deering Hanscom. Wonderful dedication from the editor: "To My Mother And Father : I dedicate the first fruits of the education I owe to their love and care." ; 281 pages; Signed by Editor.

George Charles Deering [formerly Georg Karl Dering] (1695?1749), botanist, was born in Dresden and educated at the Hamburg Gymnasium and the University of Leiden (170810), where he was a pupil of Boerhaave. He returned to London in 1719 and then practised as a physician at Nottingham from 1735 till his death in 1749. He was also the editor of "Nottinghamia vetus et nova or an historical account of the ancient and present state of the town of Nottingham, 1751" which was published posthumously. One of the earliest of British local floras. "Although written at a time when botanical nomenclature was very different to what it is at present, the work must be acknowledged as a valuable record of the flora of the district. Its pages may be searched with interest to see the enormous changes which have taken place during the century and a half which have since elapsed. It may further be observed that it will always possess a more than local interest, because in it the two Nottingham meadow crocuses are for the first time introduced to the British flora."Brown, A History of Nottinghamshire.
