Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Charles Lamb In 1775, Mr. Samuel Salt, a middle-aged barrister - afterwards a bencher of the Inner Temple - was living in London, in Chambers in Crown Office Row, a row of buildings facing the Temple Gardens and the river. Mr. Salt was living in considerable comfort and dignity. It was a double set of chamber, a "substantial house," in fact; Mr. Salt "kept his carriage" and two indoor servants, besides a trusted clerk and factotum, John Lamb, a married man, who had been in his service for many years. Mrs. Lamb acted as Mr. Salt´s housekepper; and the couple, with their family of children and a sister of john Lamb´s. Who had made her home with them, must have fully occupied the ground-floor rooms of Mr. Salt´s establishment. There could have been no stipulations about "encumbrances": the baptisms of seven little Lambs are to be found in the registers of the Temple Church, though, of the seven, Mr. and Mrs. Lamb succeeded in rearing only three - John, Mary Anne, and Charles. John, the eldest, was twelve, and Mary ten years old, when Charles Lamb, the youngest of the family. "a weakly but very pretty babe," was born in the House in Crown Office Row - In one of the back, ground-floor rooms which looked into Inner Temple Lane - Feb. 10, 1775.
