ABSTRACT
First published in The Examiner, VIII, 8 January 1815, pp. 26–8. For the Round Table series, see headnote above, p. 5. Hunt sets forth here ideas on manners, morals and taste that he and his circle will pursue, including the rejection of ‘the French’ in favour of an English canon of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Spenser and Milton, which is praised for its turn to nature and an embrace of charity and cheerfulness over money-getting and morbidity.
