The Last Essays of Elia was the second volume of essays written by Charles Lamb, published in 1833 by Edward Moxon following the publication of Essays of Elia in 1823. These editions were complied from Charles Lamb’s essays that had first begun appearing in The London Magazine between 1820 and 1825, which he had written using the pseudonym ‘Elia’.
