Note. On pages 428-9, Vol. III., appears Lamb’s criticism on “De Foe’s Works of Genius.” [Mr. Wilson says: “The following remarks upon De Foe’s Works of Genius are from the pen of the Author’s highly esteemed friend, Charles Lamb, and are original.”] Pages 636, 7, 8, 9, Lamb’s remarks on “De Foe’s Secondary Novels” appear. These are of so characteristic a nature that they are well worth perusal. [Wilson adds: “To recall the attention of the public to his other fictions, the present writer is happy to enrich his work with some original remarks upon his Secondary Novels, by his early friend Charles Lamb, whose competency to form an accurate judgment upon the subject, no one will doubt who is acquainted with his genius.”]
