Later met Charles and Miss Lamb at Mr. Aders'. I was not in spirits. Aders exhibited his Campo Sacro to L. which he greatly enjoyed. And we had a rubber or two of whist. Mr. and Mrs. Smith also were of the party. We staid long, Aders had provided a profuse supper. L. was temperate but rather dull at the same time. However he seemed to enjoy himself, and that is the truest flattery." Charles Aders, a friend of Robinson, was a merchant of German extraction,with a house in Euston Square packed with pictures. In 1831, Lamb wrote some lines on his collection, and one of the prettiest of his later poems, " Angel Help," was suggested by an engraving in Mrs. Aders" album." March 2nd:—I called in the forenoon on Lamb to give him £10, a contribution towards sending Tom Holcroft to India. He will probably soon set out, and I consider this morning as well spent. Villiers H. is well settled in India and has offered to provide for his brother if he can be sent out. Miss L. told me of a Burney party this evening, and I went to James Street. . . .

Poor edition
The print was illegible. I can not recommend this edition. It looks like a bound version of xeroxed pages.

ALL SHAKESPEARE'S TALES:.......
THE BOOK LOOKED GREAT ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT THE PAGES WERE UNREADABLE!ABSOLUTELY USELESS.

The print in this book is illegible
I just received my copy of this book.I was disappointed to find that the print is essentially illegible.At the front of the book (the only legible page in it) it says:

"Publishing Statement:
