Douglas Grant booklabel. Keynes 89. A nice copy, in original boards, of Hazlitt's influential volumes of essays and criticism, considered by many his last great work. As well as giving serious consideration to literature and the arts, Hazlitt provides thoughtful, and often rather amusing observations on a variety of subjects, among them Londoners and Country People ('The cockney lives in a go-cart of local prejudices and positive illusions'), On The Pleasure of Hating ( 'How loth we were to give up our pious belief of ghosts and witches, because we liked to persecute the one, and frighten ourselves to death with the other!'), and On Sitting for One's Picture ('There is a conscious vanity in it'). 32 essays in total.

First edition. In two volumes. [4], 465pp; [4], 447pp, [1]. Uncut in original publisher's powder blue paper boards, recently rebacked in buckram, contrasting burgundy morocco lettering-pieces. Boards rubbed, marked, and worn at edges. Near contemporary inked ownership inscription to FFEP, some surface loss to title page of Vol. I., some loss to terminal gathering of Vol. II, without loss of textscattered spotting. The first edition of Hazlitt's collection of essays on 'books, men and things', many of which were composed during a period of isolation following the release of his controversial Liber Amoris; or, The New Pygmalion (1823). Essays such as 'On the Pleasure of Hating' reveal the extent of the disillusionment felt by Hazlitt in this turbulent phase of his life, as he describes the 'narrow, jealous, inquisitorial watchfulness over the actions and motives of others' by which he, and humanity, is possessed. Biographer Stanley Jones, in Hazlitt: A Life - From Winterslow to Frith Street (1989), deemed that together with the Table-Talk essays, Hazlitt's Plain Speaker remained 'the major work of his life'. Size: 8vo.
