Title
Print of Charles Lamb, from a drawing by Hancock, 1798, in the possession of Mr Cottle. R. Woodman was the engraver. Below the print is the note by Adam White "these characteristic remains by the author of Elia on a proof-sheet of Pringle's poems were given me by Mr Pringle's widow. She did not seem to love Lamb (see Imperfect Sympathies for the reason)". Imperfect sympathies was an essay published in Essay of Elia, in which Lamb admitted to a prejudice against "Scotchmen. As Pringle was a Scot, this would account for Mrs Pringle's dislike of Lamb
