        <ptr target="ukred-29759">"9. Charles Stansfield then read his paper on Charles Lamb. He gave us a clear picture of Lamb 
in his family relationships, beginning with a delightful study of Lamb’s father under the name 
of Lovell of the Old Benchers, continuing with the tragedy of his mother’s death and the twenty 
nine gallant years of Charles’s companionship with his sister, and concluding with a most 
graceful tribute to her “as an incomparable old maid, the result of her upbringing in the 
spacious closet of reading. And it gave us, too, an introduction to the man and the author, the 
width of his reading as exemplified in his quotations and allusions, his whimsical humour, the 
pathetic weakness that proved too strong for him, and yet with it the natural dignity of the 
scholar and an innocent &amp; delightful merriment in circumstances which might well have bred 
coarseness and cynicism.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
We may indeed say of these paragraphs of Charles Stansfield’s as he himself says of the 
Essays that “they reveal Lamb and endear him to us.”&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
10. Dorothy Brain read an extract from “Recollections of Christ’s Hospital” showing Lamb’s 
pride in his old school.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
[...]&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
12. Mary Pollard read from “Dream Children”, an essay that made some of us wonder whether 
it is reflected in Barrie’s “Dear Brutus”&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
13. Edith Goadby read from “Two Races of Men”, another theme which will not readily be 
bettered.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
14. Victor Alexander then read from “My Relations[”]&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
15. Howard Smith read from Odds and Ends with much enjoyable good humour"</ptr>
