NOTICE. A SUFFICIENTLY full account of these two courses of Lectures, and of the circumstances under which they were originally delivered, upwards of fifty years since, may be found in the Memoirs of William Hazlitt, 1867, 2 vols., 8vo. The present republication is a faithful copy of the Author's Editions, which appeared, the English Poets in 1818, and the English Comic Writers in 1819. Of the former a second impression was printed in 1819. W. C. H. Kensington, July, 1869. |
