Charles Lamb From LoveToKnow 1911 CHARLES LAMB (1775-1834), English essayist and critic, was born in Crown Office Row, Inner Temple, London , on the 10th of February 1775. His father, John Lamb, a Lincolnshire man, who filled the situation of clerk and servant companion to Samuel Salt , a member of parliament and one of the benchers of the Inner Temple, was successful in obtaining for Charles , the youngest of three surviving children, a presentation to Christ's Hospital , where the boy remained from his eighth to his fifteenth year (1782-1789). Here he had for a schoolfellow Samuel Taylor Coleridge , his senior by rather more than two years, and a close and tender friendship began which lasted for the rest of the lives of both. When the time came for leaving school, where he had learned some Greek and acquired considerable facility in Latin composition, Lamb, after a brief stay at home (probably spent, as his school holidays had often been, over old English authors in Salt's library) was condemned to the labours of the desk - "an inconquerable impediment" in his speech disqualifying him for the clerical profession, which, as the school exhibitions were usually only given to those preparing for the church, thus deprived him of the only means by which he could have obtained a university education. For a short time he was in the office of Joseph Paice, a London merchant, and then for twenty-three weeks, until the 8th of February 1792, he held a small post in the Examiner's Office of the
