He was 59.;Major Literary Works;The Style Of Lamb’s Essay:;His style is not so much an imitation as a reflection of the older writers; for in spirit he made himself their contemporary. A confirmed habit of studying them in preference to modern literature had made something of their style natural to him; and long experience had rendered it not only easy and familiar but habitual. ;It was not a masquerade（化装舞会）dress he wore, but the costume which showed the man to most advantage. With thought and meaning often profound, though clothed in simple language, every sentence of his essays is pregnant富有意义的.;Quotations ; “If I were not the independent gentleman that I am, rather than I would be a retainer to the great, a led captain, or a poor relation, I would choose, out of the delicacy and true greatness of my mind, to be a Beggar.” 倘若我不像现在这样可以过独立自主的绅士生活，若是让我选择做富人的随从，门客或者是穷亲戚，经过深思熟虑，周密思考，我宁愿做一名乞丐。 ;Para.11;Para.11;
