Preparing for speedy publication, in 2 vols. 12mo.,
With a Biographical Sketch of the Author, by Sir E. L. Bulwer, Bart.—with remarks by Sarjeant Talfourd, &c. Edited by Park Godwin, Esq.
“We have no hesitation in saying that the writings of few essayists surpass the varied excellence of those of Hazlitt;—whether we regard the philosophical subtlety of their spirit of observation, the fearless force of their satire, the unrivalled critical acumen of their literary discussions, the felicitous truth of their pictures of society, or the power, the purity and the brilliancy of their style.”—Court Journal.
“Hazlitt’s relish for wit and humour, and his acute perception of the critical value of the good things he enjoyed, give to these discourses a raciness and gusto.—It is like reading our favourite authors over again, in company with one who not only laughs with us, but points out the felicitous thoughts that please. He was a fine critic and always writes from the impulse of thought; and, brilliant as is his style, he never, like too many of our would-be brilliants, sacrifices sense to sound.”—Spectator.
“Valuing, as we do, the stern, fidelity with which Hazlitt adheres to his subject, we are rejoiced to see these searching papers rescued from the obscurity of magazines and reviews,—they breathe the true feeling of the enthusiastic critic.”—Athenæum.
