All of the available letters of Charles Lamb, a master of the English essay, and his sister Mary Anne published in this definitive, scrupulously edited work. The letters, many of them written to illustrious figures of the Romantic period, are generally agreed to rank among the finest in the English language. Transcribing where possible from the originals or facsimiles, Professor Marrs corrects textual errors found in previous editions, and he pays particular attention to establishing precise dates for the correspondence. He includes letters that were omitted from the last collection (published in 1935 and long out of print), and he has uncovered more than eighty letters never published before. The Letters of Charles and Mary Anne Lamb totals five or six volumes, and presents nearly 1200 letters written by Charles and Mary, singly or together. The correspondence is fully annotated, the volumes are illustrated, and the holographic idiosyncrasies of the originals are rendered typographically wherever possible. Rich in revelations about the extraordinary lives of the Lambs, these beautifully written letters are an inexhaustible store of information about the Romantic era and its major figures-Wordsworth, Keats, and Coleridge. The publication of unexpurgated and authoritative texts is an important literary event. The first volume was published in 1975, the bicentenary of Charles Lamb''s birth. It contains 102 letters written by Charles, many of them after Mary murdered their mother. Among the recipients were the poets Coleridge, Southey, and Wordsworth. The letters provide shrewd observations on his friends'' writings and his own, vivid descriptions of life in London, and compassionate but candid remarks concerning his family and acquaintances. Notes to each letter place it in context, quoting where necessary from the correspondence Lamb is answering. Volume I includes Professor Marrs''s extensive Introduction to the entire collection. After supplying a biography of the Lamb family up to the murder, he treats Mary''s and Charles''s life together until Charles''s death, tracing through the letters a relationship that remained warm and affectionate even under the shadow of Mary''s insanity. Professor Marrs also gives the publishing history of the letters and sets forth the principles upon which his edition is based.

Since the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was signed into law, schools have been allowed to administer grade-level content reading exams in the native language of English Language Learner (ELL) students for up to three years after they enter the school system. From that point, the students are expected to take the state assessments in English. Districts and schools that fail to demonstrate gains for ELL students on these academic exams risk penalties that range from permitting parents to transfer their children to alternative schools to closing the school entirely. Some advocates, educators, and state education agencies have complained about the federal requirements, claiming that they ignore the variation in the speed with which students learn English (Kossan, 2008; Zehr, 2007). Students may show significant progress in acquiring English, but still struggle to meet proficiency standards when tested in English on grade-level content and, thus, the policy may be unfair to those students and to the schools that serve them. This brief aims to inform the three-year time limit policy. Specifically, the authors examine the variation in the speed with which young ELL students acquire minimum proficiency in English. They use data on New York City and Miami-Dade County ELLs, focusing first on all students, then separately on subgroups of students according to their poverty status, gender, race/ethnicity, and age of entry into the school system. An appendix entitled, "Language Assessment & Study Methodology" is included.
