ABSTRACT
We are going to perform a novel undertaking. It is, to speak the truth of William Hazlitt. This writer has been praised more than he deserves; and yet not enough. And he has been abused more than he or than any man deserves; and yet his faults have never been pointed out. In short, / he has been praised and abused through thick and thin; but he has never yet been estimated. He shall be so now, as nearly as we are able to do it.
