hat while some part of Lamb's too rare leisure was given to the gentle "task work" of making rhymes for little children, the first strong savour of a fierce delight in his new intimacy with the third and most tragic of English tragic poets must have been fresh and hot upon him. Page 450. _The Sparrow and the Hen_. (?) Charles Lamb. Mrs. Glasse would be Hannah Glasse, of _The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy_, 1747. Page 451. _Which is the Favourite?_ (?) Mary Lamb. Page 451. _The Beggar-Man_. By John Lamb, Charles and Mary's brother; as we know from a letter from Charles Lamb to Robert Lloyd. Page 452. _Choosing a Profession_. By Mary Lamb, as we know on the evidence of Robert Lloyd. Page 453. _Breakfast_. This also, on Robert Lloyd's evidence, is by Mary Lamb. Page 454. _Weeding_. (?) Mary Lamb. Page 455. _Parental Recollections_. (?) Charles Lamb. The first line was quoted by him in the _Elia_ essay "The Old and the New Schoolmaster." The poem may be considered as the poetical correlative of the beautiful _Elia_ essay "Dream-Children." Page 455. _The Two Boys_. By Mary Lamb. Quoted by Lamb, as by "a quaint poetess," in his _Elia_ essay "Detached Thoughts on Books and Reading." Page 456. _The Offer_. (?) Mary Lamb. Page 456. _The Sister's Expostulation on the Brother's Learning Latin_. (?) Charles Lamb. Many years later Mary Lamb wrote a sonnet in _Blackwood_ on a kindred subject, addressed to Emma Isola. Mary Lamb taught Latin to Mary Cowden Clarke (when Mary Victoria Novello) and to William Hazlitt's son, also to Miss Kelly. Page 457. _The Brother's Reply_. (?) Charles Lamb. Page 459. _Nurse Green_. (?) Mary Lamb. Page 460. _Good Temper_. (?) Charles Lamb. Page 460. _Moderation in Diet_. (?) Mary Lamb. The "splendid shilling" (borrowed from Phillips' parody of Milton) suggests a touch of Charles Lamb. Page 462. _Incorrect Speaking_. (?) Mary Lamb. Page 462. _Charity_. (?) Mary Lamb. Page 463. _My Birth-day_. (?) Mary Lamb. Page 464. _The Beasts in the Tower_. (?) Charles Lamb. There is a hint of Blake's "Tiger, tiger burning bright" (which Lamb so greatly admired) in-- That cat-like beast that to and fro Restless as fire doth ever go. Page 466. _The Confidant_. (?) Mary Lamb. Page 466. _Thoughtless Cruelty_. (?) Mary Lamb. Page 467. _Eyes_. (?) Charles Lamb. Page 468. _Penny Pieces_. (?) Mary Lamb.
