Excerpt from The Essays of Elia and ElianaPoor elia - The real (for I am but a counterfeit) is dead. The fact is, a person of that name, an Italian, was a fellow clerk of mine at the South Sea House thirty (not forty) years ago, when the characters I described there existed, but had left it like myself many years; and I having a brother now there, and doubting how he might relish cer tain descriptions in it, I clapped down the name of Elia to it, which passed off pretty well, for Elia himself added the function of an author to that of a scrivener like myself. I went the other day (not having seen him for a year) to laugh over with him at my usurpation of his name, and found him, alas! No more than a name, for he died of consumption eleven months ago, and I knew not of it.So the name has fairly devolved to me, I think; and 'tis all he has left me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
