" In regard to Mr. Hazlitt's writings, his distinguishing quality is the 

 unrivalled power which they display of looking into the hidden truths of 

 things. He pierces the depths of human life, and * plucks out the heart 

 of their mystery.' His pen is like Ithuriel's spear ; whatever it touches 

 starts up before us in its naked truth." Tail's Magazine. 



" Hazlitt's writings possess much general beauty, force and originality.'" 

 Wade's Brit. History. 



"These Essays are the production of a man of admitted genius and ex- 

 quisite taste. They are composed of rambling, easy essays on various sub- 

 jects in literature and art, and are treated in a manner quite masterly, both 

 in respect of thought and style." A'*. Y. Evangelist. 



" Hazlitt's 'Table Talk,' is a series of brilliant and vigorcus essays, rich 

 in thought and critical analysis." J\T. Y. Evening Gazette.
