eview articles may be mentioned George Eliot in WESTMINSTER REVIEW, volume 57; John Burroughs in ATLANTIC MONTHLY, volume 51; Emerson in SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE, volume 22; Froude in NINETEENTH CENTURY, volume 10, and Leslie Stephen in CORNHILL, volume 44. DE QUINCEY It is a curious fact that the first complete edition of De Quincey's works was issued in Boston in twenty volumes (1850-1855) by Ticknor & Fields. Much of the material was gathered from English periodicals, as De Quincey was the greatest magazine writer of his age. This was followed by the Riverside edition in twelve volumes (Boston, 1877). The standard English edition is _The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey_, fourteen volumes, edited by David Masson (1889-1890). A.H. Japp wrote the standard English _Life of De Quincey_ (London, two volumes, 1879). The best short life is Masson's in the English Men of Letters series. George Saintsbury gives a good sketch of De Quincey in _Essays in English Literature_. Other estimates may be found in the following works: Leslie Stephen, _Hours in a Library_; H.A. Page, _De Quincey, His Life and Writings_ and in Mrs. Oliphant's _Literary History of England_. LAMB Reprints of the _Essays of Elia_ have been very numerous. One of the best editions of Lamb's complete works was edited by E.V. Lucas in seven volumes, to which he added in 1905 _The Life of Charles Lamb_ in two volumes. Another is _Complete Works and Correspondence_, edited by Canon Ainger (London, six volumes). Ainger also wrote an excellent short life of Lamb for the English Men of Letters series. Hazlitt and Percy Fitzgerald have revised Thomas Noon Talfourd's standard _Letters of Charles Lamb, With a Sketch of His Life_. Among sketches of the life of Charles and Mary Lamb may be noted Barry Cornwall's _Charles Lamb--A Memoir_; Fitzgerald, _Charles Lamb: His Friends, His Haunts and His Books_; Walter Pater, _Appreciations_; R.H. Stoddard, _Personal Recollections_; Augustine Birrell, _Res Judicatae_; Nicoll, _Landmarks of English Literature_; Talfourd, _Final Memorials of Charles Lamb_; Hutton, _Literary Landmarks of London_. DICKENS The first collective edition of Dickens' works was issued in 1847. The standard edition is that of Chapman & Hall, London, who were the original publishe
