Chapter 123

CHARLES LAMB TO CHARLES OLLIER

[No date. ? Dec., 1825.]

Dear O.--I leave it _entirely to Mr. Colburn_; but if not too late, I think the Proverbs had better have L. signd to them and reserve _Elia_ for Essays _more Eliacal_. May I trouble you to send my Magazine, not to Norris, but H.C. Robinson Esq. King's bench walks, instead.

Yours truly

C. LAMB.

My friend Hood, a prime genius and hearty fellow, brings this.

[Lamb's "Popular Fallacies" began in the _New Monthly Magazine_ in January, 1826. Henry Colburn was the publisher of that magazine, which had now obtained Lamb's regular services. The nominal editor was Campbell, the poet, who was assisted by Cyrus Redding. Ollier seems to have been a sub-editor.]
