Excerpt from Mary and Charles Lamb: Poems, Letters, and Remains; Now First Collected, With Reminiscences and Notes The old man himself had formerly been clerk to one of the benchers of the Inner Temple, and had retired on a slender annuity. The son whom he had living with him under the same roof was, like his elder brother John, on the south-sea establishment. John, it appears, had had it in his power to place him there. If we are not mis taken, this was nearly the only obligation under which the family ever lay to John. The site is at present (1868) occupied by Trinity Church, which has absorbed Nos. 6, 7, and 8. What tender memories were swept away to make room for what is popularly called an improvement! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
