Few men have known intimately well so many celebrated literary figures as Henry Crabb Robinson did, and none, perhaps, has equalled his assiduity as a diarist and correspondent. “Old Crabb’s” diaries, reminiscences, and letters, an immense mass of material, are full of first-hand records of Wordsworth, Lamb, Coleridge, Blake, de Quincey, Carlyle, and so on, down to Dickens, Browning, and Matthew Arnold. Dr. Edith Morley has collected all these passages in “Henry Crabb Robinson on Books and Writers.”—J. M. Dent and Sons Ltd. 3 vols. (31/6 net.)
