25 lines on 1p 8vo. John Matthew Gutch, 1776-1861, was a journalist and historian. He was a schoolfellow of Lamb and Coleridge at Christs Hospital, and Lamb lodged with his family in 1800. He edited Felix Farley's Bristol Journal which led to his imprisonment for libel, the 'calamity' here mentioned, and his book collection was sold off in 1858. Gutch had earlier, in 1834, commissioned Francis Stephen Cary to paint Lamb's portrait. PLEASE NOTE: For customers within the UK this item is subject to VAT at 20%.…
