Edward Thurlow
Charles Lamb to William Wordsworth, 8 April 1815; Thomas Noon Talfourd, Literary Sketches and Letters ... of Charles Lamb (1849) 115.
I was lately fatiguing myself with going through a volume of fine words by Lord Thurlow; excellent words, and if the heart could live by words alone, it could desire no better regales; but what an aching vacuum of matter! I don't stick at the madness of it, for that is only a consequence of shutting his eyes and thinking he is in the age of the old Elisabeth poets.
