Richards.  This was George Richards (1767-1837).  His poem on “Aboriginal Britons,” which won a prize given in 1791 by Earl Harcourt, is mentioned favourably in Byron’s English Bards and Scotch Reviewers.  Richards became vicar of St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields and a Governor of Christ’s Hospital.  He founded a gold medal for Latin hexameters.

C.V.  Le G——­.  Charles Valentine Le Grice (1773-1858), whom we meet also in the essay on “Grace Before Meat.”  Le Grice, in his description of Lamb as a schoolboy in Talfourd’s Memorials, remarked:  “I never heard his name mentioned without the addition of Charles, although, as there was no other boy of the name of Lamb, the addition was unnecessary; but there was an implied kindness in it, and it was a proof that his gentle manners excited that kindness.”

The junior Le G——­.  Samuel Le Grice became a soldier and died in the West Indies.  Lamb wrote of him to Coleridge in 1796, after the tragedy at his home, at a time when friends were badly needed, “Sam Le Grice who was then in town was with me the first 3 or 4 days, and was as a brother to me, gave up every hour of his time to the very hurting of his health and spirits, in constant attendance and humouring my poor father.”

Page 25, line 8 from foot. F——­.  Joseph Favell, afterwards Captain, who had a commission from the Duke of York—­as had Sam Le Grice—­and was killed in the Peninsula, at Salamanca, 1812.  Lamb states in the essay on “Poor Relations,” where Favell figures as “W.,” that he met his death at St. Sebastian.  Both Sam Le Grice and Favell were to have accompanied Coleridge and Southey to the Susquehanna as Pantisocrats.
