CHARLES LAMB
Sir-So, according to Mr. Anton Vogt, Charles Lamb was "a tiresome old buffoon"’-chairman’s remarks, ZB Book Review, May 24. Assuming Mr. Vogt reads poetry, he may recall that a New Zealander once wrote that certain people "oft measure giants by their narrow gauge." Anyhow, I suppose one doesn’t have to be old to be tiresome.
