“Lamb was the first English writer of eminence whom Crabb Robinson tried to convince of the excellence of Goethe.”

“Dined at Gooden’s, where I met among others {{w|John Lindley|Dr. Lindley}}, the Secretary of the {{w|Royal Horticultural Society|Horticultural Society}}. He surprised me by saying that he knew Goethe only as a botanist, in which character he thought most highly of him, he being the author of the New System of Botany; and that this is now the opinion of the most eminent botanists both in France and England. I rejoice at this unexpected intelligence.”

“Lamb had written to Coleridge about one of their old {{w|Christ's Hospital}} masters, who had been a severe disciplinarian, intimating that he hoped Coleridge had forgiven all injuries. Coleridge replied that he certainly had; he hoped his soul was in heaven, and that when he went there he was borne by a host of cherubs, all face and wing, and without anything to excite his whipping propensities!”
