HAZLITT, William.
Political Essays, with Sketches of Public Characters.
First edition. "Though a miscellany of previously published occasional journalism, it nevertheless offers a fine introduction to the sharpness of Hazlitt's prose and the spice of his convictions - his faith in Napoleon, his hatred for Pitt, his uneasy admiration of Burke, his dismay at the apostasy of Coleridge and Southey" (Jonathan Bate, ODNB).
Octavo. Uncut in original blue boards, neatly rebacked to style with drab paper and printed spine label. Board edges a little worn in places, some spotting chiefly to endleaves and very occasionally elsewhere, still a very good copy.
