Book Description
Excerpt from The Collected Works of William Hazlitt, Vol. 4 of 12: A Reply to Malthus, the Spirit of the Age, Etc The three first of the following letters appeared originally in Cobbett's Weekly Political Register. There are several things, in which they may seem to require some apology. First, some persons, who were convinced by the arguments, have objected to the style as too flowery, and full of attempts at description. If I have erred in this respect, it has been from design. I have indeed endeavoured to make my book as amusing as the costiveness of my genius would permit. If however these critics persist in their objection, I will undertake to produce a work as dry and formal as they please, if they will under take to find readers. Secondly, some of the observations may be thought too severe and personal. In the first place, I shall answer that the abuse, of which there is to be sure a plentiful sprinkling, is not I think unmerited or unsupported; and in the second place, that if I could have attacked the works successfully, without attack ing the author, I should have preferred doing so. But the thing was impossible. Whoever troubles himself about abstract reasonings, or calm, dispassionate inquiries after truth? The public ought not to blame me for consulting their taste. As to the diffuseness, the repetitions, and want of method to be found in these letters, I have no good defence to make. I may however make the same excuse for the great length to which they have run, as the Frenchman did, who apologised for writing a long letter by saying, that he had not time to write a shorter.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Collected Works of William Hazlitt, Vol. 12 of 12: Fugitive Writings Where {dere'r a will, tbere'r a map - I said so to myself, as I walked down Chancery-lane, about half six o'clock on Monday the 10th of December, to in uire at J Randall's where the light the nut day was to be; and found 'the proverb nothing 'musty' in the present instance. Iwas determined to see this fight, what would, and see it I did, in great style. It was my first fight, han answered my expectations. Ladies! It is to you I description; norletxtseemoutofcharacter forthefair to natice the exploits of the brave. Courage and modesty are the old English virtues; and mayt never look cold and askance on one another! Think, ye fairest the fair, loveliest of the lovel kind, ye practisers of soft enchantment, how many more ye ltifl with poisoned baits than ever fell in the ring; and listen with subdued air and without shuddering, to a tale tragic only in appearance, and sacred to the Furor!
