Charles Lamb and Tobacco.

Charles Lamb, according to his own
confession, was "a fierce smoker of to-
bacco." One day when putting vigor-
ously the coarsest weed from a long
clay pipe in company with DR.. Parr the
latter asked him how he managed to
acquire this 'prodigious power" by
failing after it, as some men toll after
virtue" was the prompt reply. AS he
advanced in years, however, ELLA"
was obliged to relax his intimacy with
the weed, so that, to use his own words,
he was like burnt out volcano emit
ting now and then only casual puff. '
Eventually he took his formal leave in
a Farewell Ode to Tobacco" and in
forwarding a copy of the poem to
Wordsworth he writes, 81 have had ii
in my head to do it these two years
but tobacco stood in its own light when
it gave me headaches that prevented
me singing its praises"
