Abstract
On the surface at least, Lloyd was now reconciled with his parents. The banker had called him home briefly in March 1798, when his younger brother James had been taken with paralysis. Charles must have come to an understanding at home on that occasion — enough to be able to bring Charles Lamb for a visit.
In feelings and matters not dogmatical, l hope I am half a Quaker. Lamb to Bernard Barton, a Quaker, 1822 (CL ii, 333)
Your Society are eminently men of Business. Lamb to Barton, 1823 (CL ii, 376)
The truth is, that ninety-nine out of a hundred of them are engaged in trade; and as they all deal and correspond with each other, it is easy to see what advantages they must have as traders, from belonging to so great a corporation. Francis Jeffrey, 1807.1
