Of Lamb; "The Old Benchers of the Inner Temple" and "The Praise of Chimney-Sweepers".Lamb tries to express his awe and wonder and curiousity to the reader very effectively. Johnson of the Lives, is much, different, much more lively than the Johnson of the Rambler, esp his sense of humor is on full display. I greatly recommend the "Life of Savage" and "Life of Addison" from the lives. I think Macaulay is exceptional, his essays like "Warren Hastings", "Samuel Johnson" (Which he wrote for Encyclopedia Britannica), "Ranke's History of the Pope's", etc are such stunning works, the reader shall find it very difficult to put them down once they start.
