      <div type="chapter" label="Margaret Dilks was secretary to the XII Book Club from 1940 to 1970. It is inferred from this, and from the handwriting, that she was the author of this set of minutes.&#10;">
        <p>
          <ptr target="ukred-31530">Meeting held at 219, Kings Road. 15th October 1942.
	Dorothea Taylor in the chair &lt;br/&gt;

1. The minutes of the last meeting were read &amp; signed. &lt;br/&gt;

2. The secretary read a card from Mr Dyson regretting that he is completely 
unqualified to address us on Russian Literature &lt;br/&gt;

[...] &lt;br/&gt;

3. The question of new members was again raised and the secretary reported that 
she had written to Mr. &amp; Mrs. Fawcett extending our renewed invitation to them to 
join the Club. &amp; their reply, regretting that they are unable to accept, was read. 
[...] &lt;br/&gt;

[...] &lt;br/&gt;

5. After some excellent refreshments, we devoted the rest of the evening to the 
study of Charles Lamb. Roger Moore first gave us the story of his life – how he 
was educated at Christ’s Hospital where he met and formed a life-lon friendship 
with S. T. Coleridge, then of his appointment in the East India House. We heard of 
the curse of madness which hung over the Lamb family &amp; how in 1796 his Mother 
was killed by his sister Mary in a fit of insanity. Lamb was magnificent in this 
tragedy &amp; devoted the rest of his life to the care of his sister who remained 
subject to periodic seizures. Lamb wrote essays, poetry, letters &amp; with his sister 
he wrote Tales from Shakespeare. He was also one of the first literary &amp; dramatic 
critics. &lt;br/&gt;

6. F. E. Pollard read some of Lambs letters, illustrating his great love of London – 
professed abhorrence of the Lake District – also his love of good food and in 
particular of Cambridge Brawn. &lt;br/&gt;

7. S. A Reynolds read an extract from one of Lamb’s last essays, also two of his 
sonnets one of which he contrasted with an amended version by Coleridge. &lt;br/&gt;

8. Elsie Harrod read Lamb’s essay on his visit to MACKERY END in Hertfordshire of 
which he had childish memories &amp; family associations. &lt;br/&gt;

9. Arnold Joselin read part of the Essay on Christ’s Hospital &amp; as an Old Blue he 
was able to enlarge on &amp; explain some details &amp; also to reassure us that certain 
ancient practices are now discontinued. [...] &lt;br/&gt;
