Excerpt from List of the Writings of William Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt: Chronologically Arranged; With Notes, Descriptive, Critical, and Explanatory; And a Selection of Opinions Regarding Their Genius and Characteristics, by Distinguished Contemporaries and Friends, as Well as by Subsequent Critics The appearance, last year, Of Mr. Procter's (barry Cornwall) pleasing Memoir of Charles Lamb again brought before the public the names of William Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt, as two of the intimate friends and companions of Elia. My long cherished desire to print a list of their works was revived but now it included not merely the contents of each work, but also a selection of contemporary opinions regarding their authors. In thinking of the numerous sources from which these Opinions might be gathered, I recalled many beautiful tributes to their memory and genius by distinguished contemporaries and friends. Some of these were so remarkable for their just ap preciation, acuteness, and generous feeling, that I considered it would be doing a service to exhume them from the newspapers and magazines in which most of them lay buried. There were also scattered about through scores of Volumes, scarcely ever Opened by the most adventurous reader, many special contemporary notices of the various works themselves, which were worthy of being rescued from oblivion. In bring ing these materials together, I found them to be more abundant than I expected. When I made known my project to one or two literary friends, they were pleased to say, that to readers and admirers of Hazlitt and Hunt, my proposed list of their works might be found very useful. I was advised not to limit my design to a few copies struck Off for private circulation, but to print a small edition which might at least be procurable by those who wished to possess it. This suggestion has been acted upon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
