Charles Lamb wrote, as Elia, 16 popular fallacies. I. That a Bully is always a Coward II. That Ill-gotten Gain never Prospers III. That a Man must not Laugh at his own Jest IV. That such a One shows his Breeding.—That it is Easy to Perceive he is no Gentleman V. That the Poor Copy the Vices of the Rich VI. That Enough is as Good as a Feast VII. Of Two Disputants, the Warmest is Generally in the Wrong VIII. That Verbal Allusions are not Wit, because they will not Bear a Translation IX. That the Worst Puns are the Best X. That Handsome is that Handsome does XI. That We must not look a Gift-horse in the Mouth XII. That Home is Home though it is never so Homely XIII. That You must Love Me, and Love my Dog XIV. That We should Rise with the Lark XV. That We should Lie Down with the Lamb XVI. That a Sulky Temper is a Misfortune[1] Lamb's popular fallacies (all printed in 1826) were born in response to a specific socio-linguistic context and expose the pretences that constitute false social behavior. Three of the fallacies, “That You Must Love Me and Love My Dog,” “That We Should Lie Down With the Lamb,” and “That We Should Rise With the Lark” all feature prominent animal imagery.
