The earliest mentioned by Watt, Lowndes, Allibone, and other Bibliographers, is that of 1584. There is no copy in the Huth library nor in the British Museum. The earliest in the latter collection is the reprint of 1587.

1899-1900

Two volumes of this edition (Elia) have already appeared.
"Canon Ainger-I do not know if he can ever be equalled, but certainly he can
never be surpassed as an editor of Lamb; for, added to his innate sympathy with
his subject and his exquisitely critical judgment, and unbounded knowledge and love
of literature, the grace of his own style, in its combined dignity and sweetness,
forms the most perfect setting of Lamb's witty delicacies."-Minnie Jackson.
